I tried an amazing recipe a few years back for an artisan loaf of bread to pair with the many soups I was concocting, and it was so good. As I recall, it had only 3 or 4 ingredients and was quite simple to make. But it took <em>18 hours<\/em>. Yup, you read that right. I pretty much never plan my life that far out, so I&#8217;ve only made it twice. But 4:00 on a blustery afternoon kept rolling around, and I would think, &#8220;this is perfect soup weather!&#8221; So I&#8217;d start to throw together a soup, only to find myself wishing I had some chewy, crusty bread to pair with it.<\/p>\n<p>Cue this recipe! I did some research and found you don&#8217;t actually need 18 hours to pull off an amazing artisan loaf of bread. In fact, you really only need about an hour, start to finish. Now as a disclaimer, this recipe is going to look weird to you. You might even think I&#8217;m crazy to ask you to microwave your bread dough. But just try it! I promise you won&#8217;t be disappointed! You&#8217;ll be so happy to be a procrastinator like me once you bite into a slice of this satisfyingly crunchy, luxuriously chewy bread. (And bonus: the leftovers make the BEST toast slathered with butter and jam, or avo toast topped with a fried egg, or basically any kind of tartine you can imagine.)<\/p>\n<div class=\"\n          image-block-outer-wrapper\n          layout-caption-below\n          design-layout-inline\n\n        \" data-test=\"image-block-inline-outer-wrapper\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"thumb-image\" style=\"font-size: revert; color: initial; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\" src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5a58c601aeb625214fc6d727\/1520714618075-ZX557Q1M571VAG52TMO6\/IMG_7977.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_7977.jpg\" data-image=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5a58c601aeb625214fc6d727\/1520714618075-ZX557Q1M571VAG52TMO6\/IMG_7977.jpg\" data-image-dimensions=\"2500x1707\" data-image-focal-point=\"0.5,0.5\" data-load=\"false\" data-image-id=\"5aa443760d92979ac94e1d3f\" data-type=\"image\" \/><strong style=\"font-size: revert; color: initial; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\">No-Time Artisan Bread<br \/>\n<\/strong><em style=\"font-size: revert; color: initial; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\">serves 6<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>4 1\/2 tsp yeast<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp sugar<\/li>\n<li>1 1\/2 c really warm water<\/li>\n<li>3 1\/2 c flour<\/li>\n<li>1 1\/4 tsp salt<\/li>\n<li>3\/4 tsp balsamic vinegar (don&#8217;t skip this!
