What is Rustic Bread
The term Rustic Bread is a very relative term.
For me, a rustic bread is a bread that has a heavy crust, an open texture, and a delicious flavor.
It is made with fewest ingredients ;Flour ,water, salt and a leavening agent a starter, either a wild yeast starter, such as sourdough, or a “biga” or “poolish”
To get delicious flavor to a rustic bread or a crusty bread usually it requires a long fermentation.
For that we add a starter to our bread dough.
What is the difference between poolish and biga
Biga and poolish are types of pre-ferments used in Italian and French baking respectively.
Poolish, the wetter one, where flour and water are added in almost 1:1 ratio.
Biga is more of a thick preferment as it uses less amount of water, somewhere between 70-80 percent.
How to make this homemade artisan bread
We can make this easy artisan bread in five simple steps
1.prepare the biga(evening)
2.Prepare the bread dough(morning)
3.First proofing (2 hours)
4.Shape the bread
5.Final Rising(50-60 minutes)
Bake the bread at 480 F or 250 C for 18 minutes and then reduce the temperature to 230 c or 450 F and bake for another 10-12 minutes.
Hope you liked this easy rustic bread recipe with biga.

Just made this bread per your instructions and it turned out just like yours. So beautiful and flavoursome.
Can you use bread flower or does it have to be all-purpose flour?
It was so good,I enjoyed make bread so much,thank you! I don't need buy sourdough bread any more,
It reminded me of Panera's Country White bread.
What s change from all the videos who promote "two ingredients, make bread in 5 minutes, no knead" recipes! Bread making requires time, knowledge and love for what you are creating. Thank you!
Beautiful loaf with nice ear. In my baking I hadn't patience for the last careful steps, but I try follow your technique. Your preferment goal of not too bubbly is a nice secret!
Bincy, thank you for sharing your recipe, i tried for the first time making artisan bread following your recipe, wow, I am so amazed with the result, it’s crispy outside soft and bouncing texture inside , the whole family loved it !😍
Tried this about a year and a half ago and it was great!!!! I tried it again today and the bread was gone in less than an hour, my family of 4 devoured it…. next time I'll make 2 loaves 🙂
Thanks so much for sharing this gift with us!
Very inspiring, thanks
I love this video! I have made this twice and it turned out perfectly both times! This will continue to be my go to and I’m going to enjoy experimenting with fresh ground flour and honey, nuts etc. I’m a subscriber now and look forward to more of your videos!

This is one of the best scripted, most articulate and best video’d YouTube’s I have ever watched. Your voice is enchanting. You could read me the phone book and I would hang on every word. Well done. More, please?
Hi love this recipe! I have a Staub Dutch oven with the lid that has the spikes to moisturize the food. Would it work for bread making? Thanks!
Never seen such technology.
Thank you.
I will try
I made the bread, it turned out to be the best ever! Thank you!
Que lindo❤
❤
Why don’t you go make mayonnaise.
70% hydration. 👍
10:32 the music is so pleasant.
I made this ! The flavor is amazing. I love the chewy crunchy crust. Thank you.
❤❤❤
Tried this recipe several times. It is easy to follow. The bread has a flavor that is just divine❤ Thank you, Bincy!
Very nice technique. They do something similar in pizza doughs. After 3-4 hrs enzymes activity peaks converting starches to sugars but also weakening gluten network. This gives very nice extensible dough that can hold more gases without compromising its structure. I did it leaving 11 hours to ferment. I got sticky dough which couldnt hold its shape. I did several coil folds at 45 and 90 minutes. I finally got a stronger dough. It ovenspringed beatifully and gave me regular open crumb. The crust was very brown due to the sugars. Very nice loaf and very forgiving recipe. Thanks a lot.
I have watched many videos on Sourdough bread baking, many confused me to my limit. Yours seems so manageable, thank you for your calmness in the video. I can’t wait to try it out. All the best ❤
There is way to much information of the recipe site.
That crust!!!
