How to Make 5 Minute Artisan Bread

1. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups warm water (105-115°F), 1 ½ cups bread flour, 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons salt, and 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast.
2. Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until just combined. The dough will be shaggy and sticky.
3. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
4. Transfer the dough to a large, airtight container (like a food storage container) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 2 weeks.
5. When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). If using a baking stone, preheat it in the oven as well.
6. Lightly flour your work surface. Remove about 1 ½ cups of dough from the fridge. Gently shape it into a round boule or your desired shape.
7. Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet or pizza stone sprinkled with cornmeal or flour.
8. Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200-210°F (93-99°C).
9. Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
