- 1 teaspoon of salt

- 1 teaspoon of instant yeast

- 250 ml of lukewarm water

What you need

How to do

Preperation : 15 min - Cooking: 90 min - For 1 loaf of bread

There are quite a few steps in my recipe, but let me reassure you right away: they are all very short and fast.

And if you mess up one of the steps, don't worry! The best is simply to continue preparing your recipe.

Indeed, this recipe is almost unmissable. Even if you make a small mistake, the result will probably be great!

The night before

7:00 p.m .:

- Put the flour and water in the large mixing bowl.

- Mix the ingredients by hand until the water is well integrated in the dough as in this video.

- Cover the large bowl with cooling film to keep the moisture in the dough.

7:30 p.m .:

- Sprinkle the top of the dough with the salt and the baking powder.

- Mix and knead the dough with your hand, like in this video.

- Cover the large bowl with cling film.

8:00 p.m .:

- Fold the dough, like in this video.

- Cover the large bowl with cooling film.

8:30 p.m .:

- Fold the dough again, like in this video.

- Cover the large bowl with cooling film, and let stand overnight.

The next morning

8h00:

- Lightly moisten the inside of the medium-sized bowl with a little water.

- Sprinkle the inner walls with a thin layer of flour.

- The water helps the flour stick to the sides of the bowl, and the flour keeps the dough from sticking to the bowl.

- Fold and fold the dough to shape it into a ball, like in this video.

- Put the ball of bread dough in the medium-sized bowl.

- Sprinkle the top of the ball with a good amount of flour.

- Turn the ball over so that the top becomes the bottom of the bread.

- Sprinkled flour prevents the bottom of the bread from sticking to the casserole dish.

- Cover the bowl with cling film.

8:30 am:

- Set your oven to 250ºC (thermostat 9).

- Place the casserole dish with its lid in the oven to preheat it.

9:15 am:

- Using your oven mitts, take the casserole dish out of the oven and remove the lid.

-Use your oven mitts to hold the casserole dish and its lid, to avoid a burn when picking them up.

- Place your ball of dough on a floured surface.

- If your dough sticks a little to the surface, don't panic! With your hands, gently pull on the dough, trying to break as few sticky "fibers" as possible. And don't worry, even if you tear the dough a bit, the result will be the same.

- Carefully place the dough in the casserole dish.

- Using the oven mitts, put the lid back on and put the casserole dish in the oven to start baking the bread.

9.45am:

- Using your oven mitts, open the oven and remove the lid of the casserole dish, to create a nice golden crust and very crisp.

- Close the oven.

- After placing the lid of the casserole, put your oven mitts on it to avoid a burn when picking them up.

10:00 am:

- Check the color of the crust.

- If it's golden enough for you, take the casserole dish out of the oven using your oven mitts.

- If it is not golden enough, cook for another 10 to 15 minutes and check again.

- To get the bread out easily, turn the casserole dish over on your work surface.

- If the bread does not fall on its own, let it sit upside down in the casserole dish for a few minutes and try to push it out with a spatula. And next time put more flour on top of the dough.

- Let your bread cool by tilting it on a bowl at an angle of 45 °, so that it cools from above and below.

10:45 am:

- Your bread is cold.

- Do not try to cut it until it has cooled down! Otherwise, some of the moisture will escape in the form of steam, and the crumb will lose its delicious softness.

- Cut a slice.

- Spread it with butter, preferably good homemade butter.

- And now devour! Yum !

Easy, fast and efficient, my little recipe ... don't you think?

In just 15 minutes of preparation, you have a delicious loaf of bread that is even better than at the local bakery.

And thanks to the hour-by-hour preparation schedule, this recipe is a must-have even for beginners who have never baked bread in their life.

I hope my recipe will appeal to everyone, especially people who are not used to cooking!

Additional advice

I insist heavily on the use of oven mitts. Believe my experience, if you accidentally touch metal heated to 250 ° C, it can cause very nasty burns!

- If this is the very first time you have made homemade bread: when choosing a recipe, don't be intimidated by the many variations and various equipment! My advice is simple. It doesn't matter what the recipe is, as long as you can use the equipment you already have at home. Here, the most important, is to get started ! Test a recipe to make your own, and you will see that making bread yourself is easy. Believe me, the pleasure of making your very first bread far exceeds that of having found THE best bread recipe on the web.

- If you prefer do your own research before you start, then I recommend the excellent book Learn to bake natural sourdough bread, by Henri Granier, or The Larousse of bread, by Éric Kaiser.

Lukewarm water temperature: it is precisely 34ºC, if you have a thermometer! But again, don't panic! A few degrees below or above 34ºC won't change much. Just keep in mind that yeast does not survive temperatures above 40ºC!

Choice of casserole dish: no fuss to do either! Here, any cast iron or ceramic dish will do, as long as it has a lid. To be sure of your taste, choose a cast iron casserole dish where it says it can be used in the oven. You won't have any trouble finding them, because most of the big brands have oven-safe casseroles like this one. If the handles and lid knobs are made of cast iron or stainless steel, that means they are heat resistant and you can use your casserole dish at any temperature. But if your casserole dish has wooden or plastic handles then, of course, don't put it in the oven.

Make your own sourdough: What if you went even further by making your own leaven? It's super easy and quick to do. All it takes is a few natural ingredients and a little patience. Check out the trick here.

My different attempts

Good homemade bread, with the first attempt at the top and the tenth at the bottom.

In the photo above you can see my very first attempt at homemade bread (top) and also my tenth attempt (bottom).

The result ? My first bread was super good. But the tenth was quite simply divine !

However, the 2 loaves were made with exactly the same recipe! The only difference between the 2 attempts is only "training" :-)
