Easy Artisan Bread

Ingredients:

• 500g bread flour
• 10g salt
• 10g yeast
• 350ml water

Directions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
2. In a separate container, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for a few minutes until it becomes frothy.
3. Slowly pour the yeast mixture into the flour mixture and stir until a dough forms.
4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10-15 minutes.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a damp cloth.
6. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
7. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
8. Shape the dough into your desired loaf shape and place it on a baking sheet.
9. Let the loaf rest for an additional 20-30 minutes before baking it in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until it has a golden brown crust.
10. Let the bread cool before slicing and serving.

Note: You can add some herbs, cheese, or nuts to the dough before shaping it for added flavor.
