The Butter Bath (Optional but Essential!):<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>As soon as the bread comes out of the oven, brush the top generously with melted butter. This creates a soft, flavorful crust that&#8217;s absolutely irresistible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. I know it&#8217;s tempting, but try to wait at least 30 minutes before slicing so the interior sets properly!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:48px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:48px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baker&#8217;s Tips for Perfect Peasant Bread<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:48px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Water Temperature Matters:<\/strong> The water should feel like warm bath water (105-115\u00b0F). Too hot will kill the yeast; too cold won&#8217;t activate it properly. If you&#8217;re using instant yeast, you can use slightly cooler water since it doesn&#8217;t need to &#8220;bloom.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t Skip the Butter:<\/strong> Brushing the hot loaf with melted butter is the secret to that soft, glossy, flavorful crust. It takes the bread from good to unforgettable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use a Food Scale for Best Results:<\/strong> Flour can vary wildly in volume depending on how you scoop it. For consistent results, weigh your flour: 500 grams is the sweet spot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Dough is Supposed to Be Sticky:<\/strong> Don&#8217;t be tempted to add more flour! A wet, sticky dough is what creates the open, airy crumb structure. Resist the urge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Oven-Safe Dish:<\/strong> Make sure your baking dish is oven-safe up to 425\u00b0F. Glass, ceramic, and stoneware all work beautifully. Metal pans work too but may brown the crust faster.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:48px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:48px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:48px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prep Time:<\/strong> 10 minutes | <strong>Rise Time:<\/strong> 2-2.5 hours | <strong>Bake Time:<\/strong> 35 minutes | <strong>Total Time:<\/strong> About 3 hours (mostly hands-off)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Yield:<\/strong> 1 loaf<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Difficulty:<\/strong> Easy (Perfect for Beginners!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:48px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:48px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Storage and Make-Ahead Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:48px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Store:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Store peasant bread wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Thaw at room temperature and refresh in a 350\u00b0F oven for 5-10 minutes to crisp up the crust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:48px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make-Ahead Option:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The dough can be refrigerated after the first rise for up to 24 hours.
