Stand Mixer Rustic Peasant Bread image

I love a rustic bread. It needs to have a rough texture and wonderful taste. Add a crunchy crust and I'm in heaven. It is not the most beautiful of breads but it is extremely tasty with a great crust and texture. Quick and easy with no hand kneading and a little over 2 hours and you're eating bread.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1¾ cup 110 degree water
1 T (one package will do) yeast
1 T sugar

2 t salt

Steps:

  • In 1¾ cups of warm (110 degree) water, dissolve 1 T sugar and 1 T of rapid rise yeast.

  • Move the dough to a lightly oiled preheated bowl (see notes), form into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and place in oven for 50-60 minutes until about tripled in size.
  • Lightly coat a preheated (see notes) dutch oven with oil and move the dough into it. Cover with lid, place back in oven and allow to double in size. About 30 minutes
  • Move from oven and then heat to 450 degrees convection. Score top of dough with a sharp chef knife. Then brush top with 1 T of water.
