Baking your own bread is so gratifying. Not only because it’s so much better than store-bought bread and better than most commercial bakeries. If you are new in baking it’s a great way to learn all the artisan techniques, without all the intricacies of sourdough bread fermentation. This is my recipe for yeasted artisan bread.

Many people associate homemade bread made with yeast with bread with kind of a soft crust, a very tight crumb, and not very much taste. I am about to change your view on this.

This bread has a crispy, wonderfully caramelized crust. An awesomely soft and open crumb and a deliciously well-developed taste. No tang though.
