Artisan Bread Recipe
This no knead artisan bread is the easiest bread recipe you'll ever make! You only need one bowl and 3 simple ingredients. This recipe is perfect for beginners!
Ingredients
- 3 cups (395 grams) all-purpose flour (, or bread flour)
- 1/2 Tablespoon Kosher salt
- 1/4 ounce instant or active dry yeast packet (, or 2 1/4 teaspoons )
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (, 105°F)
Directions
- 1
Place the flour, salt and yeast in a large bowl. Then pour the warm water (about 105°F) over top, making sure it's not too hot. Then you can use a dough whisk, spatula, wooden spoon or your hands to mix together. The dough should still be somewhat wet and sticky, but add more flour if it's too sticky to handle.

Generously flour your hands and turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. The dough will be sticky. Do not punch it down, knead it or roll it out. Gently work the dough into your preferred shape. I typically work it into a French boule (round circle) or 2 loaves and tuck the ends under.

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place a baking stone, a pizza stone, dutch oven or a iron skillet into the oven. You'll want the bread to cook on a hot skillet, so let it preheat for about 20 minutes. Place a piece of parchment paper onto a pizza peel or the bottom of a skillet or pan. Lightly flour and then place the dough on top and let it rest about 20-30 minutes.
