Crusty Bread Recipe
Report
This crusty bread recipe is one of the easiest homemade bread recipes you can make with 4 basic ingredients: bread flour, water, yeast and salt, and nothing else. A rustic loaf with a golden crust, but white and fluffy on the inside, this bread fills the kitchen with a fantastic aroma that reminds me of childhood. My country white bread is the simplest bread recipe you can made.

Ingredients
- 250 g flour
- 160 ml warm water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon yeast
Instructions
- Add the yeast to the warm water, and give it a good a stir so it can dissolve.
- In a large bowl, sift the flour, add the salt and yeast mixture, and knead gently to get a smooth, elastic dough. Dust some more flour over the dough if it sticks to your hands.
- Cover the bowl with clingfilm, and leave it to prove for about 2 hours or until the dough is double in size.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured work surface.
- Shape it into a ball again, but flatten it gently, and place it onto a baking tray lined with non-stick paper.
- Leave to prove again for about 1 hour, covering it with a clean kitchen towel.
- Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius (430 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Add one cup of hot water to the dripping pan in the oven (or another tray you have around), place the bread on the middle rack of the oven, and bake for 20 minutes, or until the bread is golden, and if you turn it over, it sounds hollow when you give it a sharp knock.
