My Mother’s Peasant Bread: The Easiest, Most Delicious Bread You’ll Ever Make (Page 2 ) | April 17, 2025

Step-by-Step Instructions:
Mix Dough: Combine flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast in a large bowl. Stir in lukewarm water until a shaggy, sticky dough forms—no kneading required!
First Rise: Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rise in a warm spot for 1½–2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Pro Tip: If your kitchen is cool, place the bowl in the oven with the light on or near a sunny window.
Prepare Bowls: Generously butter two oven-safe bowls or loaf pans. Divide the dough using a spatula and place into greased containers.
Second Rise: Let dough rise again for 30–40 minutes until puffy and airy.
Bake Bread: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake for 15 minutes, reduce heat to 375°F (190°C), and bake another 15–20 minutes until golden brown. Tap the bottom—it’s ready if it sounds hollow.
Cool & Serve: Cool in bowls for 10 minutes, transfer to a wire rack, and slice. Pair with butter, jam, or honey for ultimate indulgence.
