Easy Italian Farm Bread is the perfect bread for beginner bakers.
No kneading, mixer or bread machine required.
A crunchy crust and pillowy soft interior makes an exceptional, delicious loaf to rival any bakery.
Take a deep breath- YOU CAN DO THIS!
You will need:
- all purpose flour, instant yeast, kosher salt, cornmeal
- a large, oven proof pot with a lid
- 2 clean cotton dish towels that are not terry cloth
- an instant read thermometer
Just mix up the dough with a rubber spatula and let it rest at room temperature 18-21 hours until you see little bubbles forming on the top.
This recipe isn’t hard- it just takes a little patience!
The next day, follow the instructions in the recipe to flour and then sprinkle dough with cornmeal and let it rest another 2 hours.
Bread takes just one hour to bake and is done when the internal temperature is about 210 F.
I have made this bread five times this week in order to make the instructions EASYÂ to follow.
Each time the bread turned out perfectly and
the whole house smelled like an Italian (or French) bakery!
Variations:
- Whole wheat or Oatmeal bread: replace up to two cups of all purpose flour with whole wheat or oatmeal flour for a loaf that’s hearty and full flavored.
- Beer bread: Replace water with your favorite beer, add enough water to equal 2 cups. Make sure liquid is at 70 F before adding to flour. Tender, yeasty with a beautiful butterscotch color!
It’s bread baking time, so Pin and Dig In!
