Quick Handmade Farmhouse French Loaf

9/29/2019

I feel there are certain badges a homesteader earns along the way; making a decent bar of soap, learning to can goods, and knowing how to bake a great loaf of farmhouse bread. We're big bread people so the last one is important to us here at the farm! Here's our recipe for a super easy, last minute loaf:

Ingredients
1.5 cups warm water
1 Tablespoon honey
1.5 tsp salt
1 tsp olive oil
1 Tablespoon dry yeast
About 4 cups bread flour

Directions
Combine water, honey, salt, oil and yeast in a bowl. Let sit until bubbly (about 5-10 minutes). Knead in the flour until well mixed and dough forms. Cover with a dish towel to rise for 20 minutes. Heat the oven to 400F. Divide dough into two balls and roll out two loaves and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in the oven. Immediately grab six ice cubes and toss into the bottom of the oven, being quick to close the door to keep the steam inside (steam creates a crisp crust). Bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove when the loaves are a nice golden brown color and let cool on a wire rack before slicing.
