Cover and let rise at room temperature until almost doubled, about 1 hour., Punch down dough and repeat folding process. Return dough to bowl; refrigerate, covered, overnight., Grease the bottom of a disposable foil roasting pan with sides at least 4 in. high; dust pan with cornmeal. Turn dough onto a floured surface.

AWESOME HOMEMADE CRUSTY BREAD (ABM)
This recipe was posted by Marie on Food.com. It was originally a 1 1/2 lb. loaf and I adjusted it to a 2 pound loaf. This is my favorite bread to make. Very easy and the ingredients are very simple with no eggs or dairy products. The flavor is excellent and reminds me of French Bread. Good for toast and sandwiches. Will...

Steps:
- 1. Place ingredients in your bread machine according to directions.
- 2. You can either bake it in your bread machine or set it on your dough cycle.
- 3. If you use your dough cycle (which I prefer), remove your dough from the ABM and place on a lightly floured board.
- 4. Knead the bread a few times to remove the air bubbles and then form the dough into a loaf. Place the loaf in a 9x5-inch bread pan that has been sprayed with Wilton Bake Easy (or use a similar baking spray). Let rise till doubled in size (this won't take very long so watch closely).
- 5. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for approximately 35 minutes (you should have a hollow sound when you tap your bread).
- 6. Remove from the oven and let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Then remove from the pan and finish cooling on a wire rack. Slice and enjoy.

Steps:
- 1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, sugar and yeast.
- 2. Add water and mix until a shaggy mixture forms. THAT'S IT!
- 3. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside for 12 - 18 hours. Overnight works great also because I have had to let mine sit for up to 24 hours. DO NOT REFRIGERATE. This is not optional. It takes that much time to proof the dough. The reason why you need a large bowl, is because the dough will start to rise.
- 4. After 12-18 hours the dough is pretty sticky, but that's ok it's supposed to be. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. As soon as it has heated to 450 degrees place your cast iron pot with the lid in the oven and pre-heat the pot for 30 minutes. MAKE SURE THAT YOUR CAST IRON POT HAS A METAL CAP! If it has a plastic cap that sucker will blow up in that 450 degree oven.
- 5. Right after you put the cast iron pot in the oven to preheat, dump the dough out onto a semi-HEAVILY floured surface and shape into a ball. It will not be a perfect ball because this dough is sticky and spreads. So just make a nice little ball with not a lot of handling.
- 6. After you shape the dough cover it with the plastic wrap that was over the bowl. It needs to sit for 30 minutes to rest and it can do this while your pot is heating.
- 7. Remove the pot from the oven and carefully pick up the ball of dough and drop it into the pot. You may want to flour your hands, because the dough is going to stick like crazy. Remember the pan is now 450 degrees hot! Be careful. Put the lid on the pot and return it to the oven for 30 minutes.
- 8. Remove the lid from the pot and continue to bake for another 15 minutes. This is when you can start patting yourself on the back while telling yourself how awesome you are...because you ARE.
- 9. Remove from the oven and carefully remove bread from the pot. Place the bread on a cooling rack until completely cooled. That's it! You did it! How easy was that?
- 10. Key Tips that helped me make a great Crusty Bread. Yeast - make sure and use Instant Yeast or better known as Bread Machine Yeast. This yeast does not have to be activated before adding it to your dry ingredients. You can use Active Dry Yeast, but make sure and activate it with a little warm water before adding it to your dry ingredients. I just don't like taking the risk of not activating it properly and then my loaf doesn't rise. Parchment Paper - this dough is super-duper sticky. After it rises for 18 hours you have to plop it out onto a heavily flour surface and then drop it into your Dutch Oven. The best way to do this without touching this ball of gooey love... is with Parchment paper!! Just make you an area with your Parchment Paper, flour it up very nice, plop your bowl of gooey goodness down onto the paper, make your ball of dough and then when you are ready to drop it into your Dutch oven all you have to do is pick up the sides of the parchment paper and TADA! You cook your Crusty Bread on the parchment paper! It doesn't burn, plus it makes it easy to remove when everything is all done! SUCCESS! When you are shaping the dough into a ball after it rises, try not to fuss with it too much and deflate the air bubbles. Make sure and let the dough rest 30 minutes (after you have shaped it into the ball) before you put it in the heated Dutch Oven and into the oven. DO NOT grease your pan. Whether you use the parchment paper or not. The parchment paper is the easiest way I have found to move the dough around. Also, you do not have to use an enamel covered cast iron dutch oven like I have, you just need something that can take the heat. The following have been used: Clay pots with lids, Pizza stone with a bowl to cover the bread, insert from a crockpot, pyrex baking dish with a lid, stainless steel pot with a lid, baking dish covered with aluminum foil, old cast iron dutch oven.
- 11. Here are some of the breads I have made: Rosemary and sharp cheddar Rosemary lemon Gruyere Jalapeno, and pepper jack Cranberries, Almonds, Orange zest Pepper jack cheese Plain Lemon, Thyme, Asiago Marinated artichokes and raw garlic - sliced 6 cloves very thinly

Steps:
- Place flour, brown sugar, warm water, salt, olive oil and yeast in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select dough cycle; press Start.
- Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Form dough into two loaves. Place the loaves seam side down on a cutting board generously sprinkled with cornmeal. Cover the loaves with a damp cloth and let rise, until doubled in volume about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- In a small bowl, beat together egg and 1 tablespoon water. Brush the risen loaves with egg mixture. Make a single long, quick cut down the center of the loaves with a sharp knife. Gently shake the cutting board to make sure that the loaves are not sticking. If they stick, use a spatula or pastry knife to loosen. Slide the loaves onto a baking sheet with one quick but careful motion.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until loaves sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

- Place all ingredients in a bread machine pan in the order listed. Select the DOUGH cycle and press START. After 5-10 minutes, lift the lid and check the dough. If the dough is too sticky (levels out), add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time. If the dough is too dry, add water a tablespoon at a time. The dough should be a loose ball that sticks to the sides, then pulls away cleanly.
- When the dough cycle is complete, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board. Roll into an oval shape slightly longer than you want your final loaf to be (about 9 x 12 inches is what I do.)
- Starting from a long side, roll into a cylinder shape. Pinch seam together. Pinch ends together. Pull ends to reach seams and pinch together with the seam making a small rounded shape on each end. (This is difficult to describe. See the picture above or watch the video if you are confused.)
- Flip the loaf over and carefully place it onto a greased baking sheet or one covered with a silicone baking sheet or parchment paper. Cover with a tea towel and allow to rise in a warm place until almost double.
