Ingredients:

Serving

1 tsp yeast or 1/4-1/2 cup sourdough starter
1 cup water
1 cup flour
1 tsp salt (don'tsp add yet, but be sure not to forget it!)
flour, enough to make a workable dough

Directions:

Mix yeast or sourdough starter with water and 1 cup flour.
Cover and let rise overnight.
Add salt and enough flour to make a workable dough (I usually use 30-40% whole wheat flour for a more nutritious final product).
Knead, shape, and let rise until almost double.
Bake in a 450 degree F oven for ~20 minutes.
To acheive a better crust, preheat a shallow pan on bottom rack, and pour in 2 cups of water when you begin baking bread. This is one of the secrets to the desired crust on a French or Artisan bread.
Enjoy!
