BAKE WITH ME: (3 INGREDIENT) RECIPE | how to make HOMEMADE ARTISAN BREAD

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: bread flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

yeast

🥗Healthier: sourdough starter

💰Cheaper: instant yeast

Sourdough starter enhances flavor and digestibility.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil offers healthy fats with a similar flavor.

butter

🥗Healthier: margarine

💰Cheaper: vegetable shortening

Margarine provides a similar texture at a lower cost.

Mix flour, yeast, and sugar in a large bowl until combined.

Add water and salt, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a baking stone inside if available.

Shape the risen dough into a round loaf and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Cover the loaf with a cloth and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

Sprinkle cornmeal on the baking stone or sheet to prevent sticking.

Score the top of the loaf with a sharp knife for steam release.

Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before slicing.
