Easy Homemade Artisan Bread
This wonderful recipe was put together from our Amazing team of Chefs at bon COOK™. All you need really, is a large mixing bowl and spatula to make the magic happen. A small addition from the original recipe: I like to brush a bit of Olive Oil on top of the bread once out of the oven. This step gives the bread a Focaccia look alike.
I hope you will enjoy this recipe as much as I did. Bon Appetit!
As always, you will find the Step-by-Step Video below the recipe.

Easy Homemade Artisan Bread
Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 1/2 cups (800 g) All Purpose Flour
- 4 1/2 tsp (22 g) Rapid Rise Yeast
- 1 Tbsp (15 g) Sel Gris Salt
- 2 tsp (10 g) Sugar
- 3 cups (710 g) Bottled Water (Lukewarm)
- 2 tbsp (30 g) Tuscan Oil (Lukewarm)
- 1 tbsp (15 g) Tuscan Oil (To Brush over the warm bread)
Instructions
- In a small sauce pan, bring the water and Tuscan Olive Oil to a warm temperature. It should feel nicely lukewarm.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients (Flour, Rapid Rise Yeast, Salt and Sugar)
- Make a well in the center, then add all the lukewarm liquids. Stir to combine.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise in a turned off preheated oven (100F/37C) for 1 1/2 hour or at room temperature for 3 hours. IMPORTANT: You will know the dough is ready because it will begin to flatten on top or even begin to collapse in the center.
- Preheat oven to 450F/235C.
- Place your Grande Round Flexipan® Mold on the top of your Large Perforated Baking Sheet. Set aside.
- Bake for 30 minutes at 450F/235C. Cover with your bonMAT™ for the first 20 minutes and then carefully remove your bonMAT™ for the last 10 minutes. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your Bread from 25min).
- Once your bread is out of the oven, let it cool down for about 10min.
- Then, slide it onto a chopping board and brush with Tuscan Olive Oil. Serve and Enjoy! Bon Appétit!
