For some years now, I've been making an artisan bread, recipe given to me by Adively. I tweak it slightly in a few different ways.
6 cups flour
2-3tsp salt
1tsp yeast
2 cups water
Mix it all together (dough hook works best if you have one).
Cover bowl with saran wrap and let sit for 12 or so hours (overnight makes it easy).
Remove from bowl onto floured surface and lightly knead a couple of times into a ball.
Place inside lightly floured towel and let sit and rerise for ~2 hours.
Put a dutch oven (5qt for this amount) in the oven and preheat to 425.
Put dough into the dutch oven and bake for about 45 minutes with the lid on, then another 10 minutes with the lid off (to develop a crust)
Baking times vary by oven. I use a thermometer. Bread is done at 200. I usually take the lid off at 190.
Remove from oven and let cool for as long as you can stand not cutting into it, because the smell is amazing. I like to cut off an end piece relatively early and slather it with Kerrygold butter.
This recipe is literally like 10 minutes of work from start to finish, including clean up. Up until this recipe, I had limited success baking good bread. I don't beleive I've ever gotten a bad loaf with this recipe. I often tweak it in different ways. Sometimes, if I have sourdough starter going, I will use that instead of yeast or even added to yeast. I will also sometimes mix in various quantities of rye flour or wheat flour for different consistency and flavor.
I also, for myself, cut the recipe to 4 cups of flour for a smaller loaf. I put it in a 3qt dutch oven I found on Amazon that is shaped to create a smaller diameter, higher loaf making it better for sandwiches and stuff. It's not available anymore, but when I get a chance I'll post a pic that hopefully shows the dimensions.
On yeast, I always buy a big package that Costco sells and stick a bunch of it in the freezer, and I end up buying yeast maybe once a year.
Also, funny tangent. I was speaking to a former coworker yesterday and she said at their virtual staff meeting this week, all anything the hippie yuppies (most of the staff) could talk about was their sourdough experiments, because suddenly 19th century skills are cool with that crowd, and not something wacko preppers do. There was apparently only limited success in what most would consider a pretty foolproof process.
