The French Bread

Submitted by: Sam Nemati

Sourdough starter is the key to making these authentic-tasting and hearty loaves of bread. To mimic the humidity of a real wood-fired bread oven, spray water into the oven a few times, and keep a pan of hot water in the oven during baking. The bread is kneaded in a bread machine, but baked in the oven. 

No-Knead Artisan Style Bread

This crusty bread gets its complex flavors and chewy interior from a long, slow fermentation--just like you'd get from an artisan bakery.

For a crusty artisan-style bread, start with a sponge, or 'poolish,' and let the flavors build during a long slow fermentation process.
