Whether you’re going for a basic white boule or something that really says “artisan,” these are some of our favorite cookware essentials for pulling it off:
Bread is a labor of love (and a test of your patience). Start in the morning for a fresh loaf by dinnertime. There’s plenty to enjoy: the smell of fermenting yeast and the calming art of mixing, stretching, folding, and shaping of your masterwork.
Your boule is ready, your house smells amazing and your photo is racking up likes. Now what? First things first: a warm slice slathered in butter. Other ways we love to use up our homemade bread? Croutons for salads, French toast for the kids, avocado toast for lunch, a slice with your salad, a slice with your soup, the best sandwiches ever...you get the picture.
