This artisan bread is the easiest way to achieve bakery-quality bread at home. With just four simple ingredients, a little patience, and a Dutch oven, you’ll have a rustic loaf that’s chewy inside with a golden, crackly crust. The long fermentation gives it a deep, complex flavor while the Dutch oven ensures a perfect rise and texture. It’s the kind of recipe that feels impressive but is simple enough for anyone to make, whether you’re a first-time baker or a seasoned home cook. Serve it with soups, cheese, or just a smear of butter—this bread makes every meal feel special.
