Best 5-Minute Artisan Bread
Ingredients
  • AUTHOR NOTES
  • I found this famous-and famously reliable-recipe on Leite's Culinaria, where it was adapted from The New Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day by Jeff Hertzberg and Zoë François.
  • My extended version of the recipe gives instructions for letting the dough rise in a brotform basket, on a baking sheet turned upside down, or on a peel. It also gives instructions for baking on a stone or a sheet, or in a preheated Dutch oven. Read to the end before you start-it'll make life/bread-baking easier! - Sarah Jampel
  • 3 cups (24 ounces) water, plus more for baking the bread
  •  
  • 1 tablespoon (.35 ounce) yeast (active dry, instant, quick rise, or bread machine is fine)
  •  
  • 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons (.6 to .9 ounce) kosher or other coarse salt, to taste
  •  
  • 6 ½ cups (2 pounds) unbleached all-purpose flour, measured by the scoop-and-sweep method
  •  
  • Cornmeal, for dusting (optional)
