Five ingredients. Simple instructions. No special equipment. No advanced techniques. This recipe for European-style crusty bread is a great introduction to yeast baking! Martin is in the kitchen to show you how easy it can be, thanks in large part to the high-protein of King Arthur Unbleached Bread Flour, which makes for great texture and a high rise no matter how elementary a baker you may be. Simply mix the dough ingredients, knead by hand or mixer, and let it rest. Then split the dough in half, shape them, and once they've risen, score the tops, and bake them up!

I am 14 years of age (with adult supervision) and I tried this recipe and did everything by hand. It was grueling and it took a few minutes to get the hang of kneading but it was honestly a very easy recipe that I can follow for whenever i need bread. Thank you.

I have been baking bread for 40 years and generally do not use sugar in my bread dough because it doesn’t need it for the yeast to activate since the yeast is very happy just to munch on flour alone and my loafs always turn out beautiful. If it’s cold inside your home because of the AC in the summer, set your covered dough in the oven with the light on only and your dough will rise nicely! Also, it depends on how much moisture is in the air which determines how much water you need to add to your dough. If you use these measurements given here and you live in the dessert, you most likely will have to add a little bit more water to your flour to hydrate it, where as if you live in a humid climate you will need a little less water. ☺️

I also enjoyed the video but I measure with cups like he said and he said put one cup of flour, I had to Google the metrics to figure out how many to actually put in, he never said how much water and what to cook it on/how long. Hopefully mine comes out.

@robertbrowning6035 4 ай бұрын

The tip about fluffing the flour, then pouring into the measuring cup made a HUGE difference! This is the best my dough has risen ever! I took a cue from Alton Brown during the first rise and put a pan of boiling water in my oven (turned off), then added the bowl of dough right over it. Gives a nice, stable controlled humidity environment.

This is one of my old favorites. I've made it at least dozens of times. I always divide my dough into thirds and make long skinny loaves, however, because the CRUST is the best part. I also brush them with water and sprinkle with sesame and/or poppy seeds before baking. 😋

@OrlaQuirk Жыл бұрын

In the past 2 years my eggs have gone from a nickel apiece to a quarter or more. So I now substitute brushing water or oil over my bread, for everyday baking. I get "more bang for my egg buck" by baking the egg inside, for those tasty recipes that call for an egg. Like King Arthur's Beautiful Burger Buns recipe. I made those for a cookout last weekend, and no one noticed that I brushed them with oil before the second rise. They are so good, leftovers get eaten up for breakfast.

I just made my first loaf of bread last week on a whim after getting curious about making our own. I had never done it before and while I can cook, baking bread has always had a sort of mystery that I hadn’t really discovered. After succeeding with that loaf(using King Arthur Bread Flour), I started seeing ads on KZfaq from King Arthur about making various breads. So I watched this video after getting inspired to bake some more, and I’m currently sitting at the oven watching my loaves bake, which is SUPER exciting to me! Even after making that first loaf, it immediately inspired me to think about sharing this with my family and with anyone I meet. I had a dream a few years ago of opening my own bakery, and this really scratched that itch again. Great videos and recipes KAB!!

My stepdad always uses and raves about the products from this company, so when I decided to bake my own bread for the first time as an adult in my own home, and was looking up easiest bread recipes, I immediately trusted the article I found. To do the steam I just put a pan of water in the oven and allowed it to heat up during the oven preheat and then just kept it in there during the bake, and I could not believe how well my first attempt turned out (and how tasty, considering nothing was really added!). For my second bread I got creative and added some spices, hand-minced garlic, and hand-chopped green olives and pimento during the kneading in my stand mixer. Figured it was only the waste of a few hours and some ingredients if it sucked. Literally the best bread I've ever had in my life. I'm so excited to have found such an easy and versatile bread recipe because now I am just dreaming up different flavor profiles to try (and my friends ask me to bring bread whenever we do anything involving food/potluck)!

An easy way to add steam is to throw 2 cups or so of ice cubes in the bottom of the oven. They evaporate on about 10 minutes which is about all the steam you want. Taking out a big pot of boiling water after 10 minutes isn’t very safe.

Great video! I stopped baking 20+ years ago. I don't know why. This video convinced me to stop buying half-baked Tuscan loaves at Wallyworld and to start baking again. This dough came together perfectly using the grams measurments in the recipe. I didn't need to add anything. BTW, 2.25 teaspoons of SAF Red instant yeast is 7.031g. My dough is on a second rise as I type this after spending 24 hours in the fridge to develop more flavor. Wallyworld carries King Arthur Bread flour AND King Arthur All Purpose flour for those of us in rural America. THANK YOU MARTIN!

One small suggestion - placing a scale underneath the bowl as you add the ingredients so that you can verbally comment on how much was added by weight throughout the video. It's nice to have volumetric, but it would make sense to include viewers in either camp by simply commenting on the other measurements you aren't using as you go along. That or having the recipe with both measurements in the video description; which, as an aside, please consider adding a shot of the recipe ingredients and amounts in the first few frames of the video. It makes it so much easier to follow and write down.

Thanks for a very good video. As a chef instructor one thing I have to mention for those using volumetric measure. I have found that most students that have some experience cooking with volume measure do not know there is a difference between a liquid measure and a dry measure. They are used to measuring dry ingredients like flour in a pyrex liquid cup. If it is say, a cup needed , they will fill the glass cup with flour and bang it on the counter to level it off. I wish you would mention this in your videos. Also I wish you would tell people that dough CAN rise in the refrigerator. It does not have to be a warm spot for rising. Keep up the great videos. Now if I could get you to do something about your shipping costs I would be so happy. Xo

Many of the orders we fulfill are quite heavy and would incur prohibitively high fees if weight were the standard.

We do offer a couple of programs, including electronic promotions (bakewith.us/37qd7b) and our Baker's Rewards Plus program (bakewith.us/azq8m4), which can both offer help with the cost of freight, as well as flat-rate standard shipping on orders of $99 or more.

This is such a cute reference! Unfortunately not everyone has experienced poking a baby's bottom, or it's been so long that one can't remember what it was like. XD Just think that it bounces back slowly, but it stays indented for quite a bit but does bounce back like rubber.

It's rare for folks in the UK to use cup measurements. I never use them. Don't worry about using scales. I think it's just what you are used to

Hi Martin, thank you for this wonderful tutorial-I cannot wait to try it! I'm fairly new to bread making and, so far, have only made no-knead breads. Instead of the kneading by hand, is it possible to do it in a stand mixer with a dough hook? If so, for how long do you think it should be run for? Thanks so much!

@KingArthurBakingCompany 3 күн бұрын

You sure can! If using a dough hook, you'll want to knead it on medium speed for around seven minutes. -🍮Kat

I use the top of the hot water heater for the dough rising.

I have enjoyed all the videos you have made and posted to KZfaq, including the home episodes. This question is on percentages, if you wanted to add whole wheat and rye flours. What are the percentages of each flour you would start with? How would those flours change the percentage of water/hydration? Is there a good source that I or one could go to in order to learn and have positive results?

@KingArthurBakingCompany Жыл бұрын

We're so glad to hear that you enjoy Martin's videos! When it comes to substituting whole wheat flour into a recipe, you can typically replace up to 50% of the white flour in a recipe. You'll also want to add 1-2 teaspoons of water per cup of flour you replace with whole wheat flour. Check out out our How to substitute whole wheat for white flour in baking blog article for more details: www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2020/06/22/how-to-substitute-whole-wheat-for-white-flour-in-baking We'd also recommend checking our How to substitute rye for all-purpose flour article: www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2020/10/05/how-to-substitute-rye-for-all-purpose-flour The substitution will be similar when using rye in place of bread flour. We hope this can help and happy baking! -👩‍🍳Morgan

Love Martin’s videos and appreciate his using volume measurements! But can we get videos with a stand mixer? You can see he loves getting his hands into the dough but using a mixer is a bit different and I need help with my Christmas present, lol.

@johnminarik3442 Жыл бұрын

I agree. There is a timing/art to kneading in a stand mixer, which I frequently do. Just takes some experimentation, but I have had great success.

There are KA recipes which are specifically for beginning bakers who have mixers, whether or not they're KitcheAid. I found them very useful when I first got my mixer. Happy baking! 😍

Would baking the loaves individually in a Dutch Oven also work? (Wondering if it’d be a decent alternative to the steaming method basically)

Save yourself trouble and just get a digital scale. They're cheap. I'd recommend that it has a max of at least 5kg/11#. If you're baking bigger batches you'll need more but if you're baking bigger then you probably already have a scale.

@KingArthurBakingCompany 3 ай бұрын

For sure! We always suggest folks measure in grams, but it's important to us to help beginners without access to a scale to bake as well. That's why our recipes include both grams and volumetric measurements. 😊 -🍮Kat
