Artisan Bread
INGREDIENTS
•
3 cups lukewarm water
•
1-1/2 tablespoons granulated fast acting yeast (2 packets)
•
1-1/2 tablespoons kosher or other coarse salt
•
6-1/2 cups unsifted, unbleached all purpose white flour *
•
* (My favorite way to make this bread now is to use half bread flour, half all-purpose flour and throw in 3/4 cup wheat bran into the dough.)
•
tip: After baking, if your bread is gummy on the inside, try either increasing the amount of flour by 1/4 cup and/or increasing the baking time by 5-10 minutes.
•
Also, If the dough is just too sticky for you to work with comfortably, increase the flour in your next batch.
