Loved it. I made double the recipe in a 7.5 qt lodge Dutch oven temp to 425 for 30 min then uncover for 10. So delicious

How would using AP flour instead of bread flour affect the recipe? Like what else would I have to change in order to use AP flour instead?

What about if I don’t have dry yeast thank you
@mariaprocaccio2497Can you please send me the recipe thank you. God bless you. You are amazing. Thank you for your recipe.
@mariaprocaccio2497made this today, so good!
@BenjaminF-f8zyou look hungover in this video
@sheepstigmaI am from THIMPHU BHUTAN .I am flowing you .I love your baking .
@TsheringDankerI have attempted this recipe twice and followed it to a T and that is absolutely not enough water. It’s dry and doesn’t absorb all of the dry ingredients. 😕
@thebtlronwarnedyouaboutI tried this recipe and sadly I have no idea what I did wrong but the dough was unusable. Incredibly sticky, stuck to the countertop and parchment like glue. I had to throw it out.
@aelori4462Can you add cheese or herbs to the bread
@dianequinn8309And AGAIN I’m coming back to your channel!! After trying trying to find an answer if I can place dough in the fridge right after I made the dough… You are the Maestro!! Thank you ❤
@crazylove1977I love this recipe and have made it many times. I throw a couple ice cubes between the parchment and Dutch oven before I put the lid on and the steam makes an awesome crust. Also, (maybe my oven runs hot?) I only bake it for 20-25 covered and then 10 uncovered and it’s perfectly done.
@dmangomanFor some reason my dough is always super sticky. It turns out good but I don’t get that smooth look before baking
@Danimal223Thanks John. Great video, trying the recipe tomorrow.
@clemenciarodner2339I thought after leaving dough to long ferment in refrigerator (8 to 18 hrs...) requires that we let it get to room temperature again for about 2 to 4 hrs before we work with it and bake? Your recipe looks easy and wonderful. Hope to try it very soon!
@lilydoherty6222Mine just came out of the oven and the crust is really to hard even difficult to cut through.
@robinoxfeld740It came out great! My family loves it. Thank you for sharing.
@AnaiyahsIs this bread recipe any different from your Artisan Bread recipe from 3 years ago.
@arvellataratuta2150I'm trying it but why no sugar ?
@luciv1864Thank you for this video!
@CZNAZZY5252Hi, what if i dont have a dutch oven😭😭 can i still make this yummy looking bread?
@katejacob6801I’m going to make this and add bacon, scrambled eggs and cheese to it.
@Cook874John, do you have an Artisan rye bread recipe?
@Jo_77779Lightly coat the bowl with a neutral oil and the bread will slide out onto your counter. Use a spatula or other tool to fold the dough and you'll have a lot less mess. Also consider dropping a couple of ice cubes in between the parchment paper and the Dutch oven for the first bake.
@jschreadley876Can I use all purpose if I don't have bread flour
@brendaalmendarez4061Does it matter if I don't have bread flour
@richardmcfelin1295If warm helps the dough to rise how does putting your dough in the refrigerator do that?
@alimccreery755Hi John, a question for you. If I put my bread dough in the fridge overnight, how long do I let it rise the next day and what temp do I bake my bread? Thank you in advance!
@dianenaranjo8709I love this recipe John! I've made it 6 times in the past 3 weeks! 🤭 Everyone loves it! Thank you!
@Go-ask-momwater boils at 100 degrees at sea level...120 is steam
@tophat2115The cute-sy routine worked when you were five years old.
@brucesannino6181Ohhh looks gorgeous I wish I could smell it!! Thank you for sharing your recipe will have a go and see how it turns out.
@andreafletcher4301can you still make the bread without dutch oven?
@jlee8492Too fancy! Not basic.
@goldpilgrimFor those using active dry yeast instead of instant yeast: Simply “revive” the yeast first:
1. Get 1½ cups (354 ml) of warm water (about 35–40 °C / 95–104 °F — just warm and comfortable to the touch).
2. Stir in 1 tsp of sugar (powdered is best, but crystal works too as long as it dissolves).
3. Add 2–3 tsp of active dry yeast and stir gently.
4. Wait about 10 min, or until it starts bubbling. Once it bubbles, pour it into the flour (best to have your flour and salt ready first).
A few extra tips:
1 tsp of sugar is nothing — your bread won’t taste sweet.
If it doesn’t bubble, either the water was too hot and killed the yeast, or the yeast is expired.
If the water is colder, it’ll just take longer to bubble — be patient.
No thermometer? Just test the water: if it feels comfortably warm, it’s fine.
Omg… I love your oven!!!
@toddcastle3926I love to bake but I don't always have the patience for bread sticky dough, waiting for rising, kneeding...but this seems doable. Love your recipes and how you explain everything so clearly.
@gratitude7397Phenomenal recipe. I’m new to making bread, so I really appreciate John’s personable approach and thorough instructions. I tried the overnight proofing-the flavor and texture were off the charts!
@LTT-t7lCan i add active dry yeast to the warm water and proof it before adding?
@duckhtr564I’m sorry but this was an utter disaster. I always follow your recipes to the letter and this time it did not turn out. The dough was so incredibly wet that it was impossible to shape into a ball after doing the stretch and folds. Please update this recipe
@marcomunoz1146Can a cast iron loaf pan be used with aluminum foil on top since I don't have a lid for the loaf pan?
@Charlie9165I made this bread. It’s the best, easiest recipe
@mariastellamelendez8670Bread maker machine
@dee780Do you have any bread maker videos
@dee780Tried to make it today, forgot to leave it for 10min before the oven but still turned out soooo good with some butter and cheese.
@bunnyfire78635March 2026, New Zealand. At 75 this is my first successful loaf of bread!! In my family (Dutch) my father was the baker, I never learned. Thank you for the amazingly easy instructions 😊 it proofed overnight in the fridge very successfully although I had my doubts. Now to try more recipes 😂 awesome smells all through the house ❤
@ellierennes9043I like using a bowl scraper to manipulate the dough in the beginning.
