Artisan Bread Recipe
Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose
flour
1 tsp active dry yeast
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups warm water
Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, and salt. Add the warm water to the bowl and stir until a shaggy dough forms. Don't worry if the dough looks rough and sticky.Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for at least 12 hours, and up to 18 hours. During this time, the dough will rise and ferment. Once the dough has fermented, it will be sticky and bubbly. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a large, heavy pot with a lid (such as a Dutch oven) inside the oven to heat up for at least 30 minutes. While the pot is heating up, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape it into a ball. You can also fold the dough a few times to help shape it. Carefully remove the hot pot from the oven and place the dough inside it. Don't worry about greasing the pot; the dough won't stick. Cover the pot with the lid and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the lid and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown. Remove the pot from the oven and use a spatula to carefully remove the bread from the pot. Let the bread cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

1/2 cup unsalted
butter
·
1/4 tsp salt

flour
·
3 large eggs
·
1/2 tsp vanilla
extract
·
1/2 cup granulated
sugar
·
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions:
1. In a medium saucepan, combine the water,
butter, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted and the

fryer to 375°F (190°C).
7. Using a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a
corner snipped off, pipe 4-6 inch (10-15 cm) strips of dough into the hot oil,
cutting them with scissors or a knife. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3
minutes per side.
8. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the churros to
a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
9. While still warm, roll the churros in the
cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
10. Serve immediately with chocolate sauce or
dulce de leche for dipping.
