How to Use One Dough to Make 3 Different Breads

In this video, the talented Mr.  Lagerstrom will show you how to make three different versions of easy rustic bread using just one simple dough recipe. You can take your pick from the variations! All of these loaves are perfect for beginners, and with just a few small changes in shaping and baking techniques, you'll end up with rustic, crusty bread that's worthy of any dinner table. Best of all, no mixer or sourdough starter is required for these delicious homemade loaves.

If you have never made bread before, this dough is 78% hydration and will be slightly sicky. Use 75 less grams water in the final dough and it will be much easier to handle.
