Ok g ữys, yo ữ’re j ữst going to have to deal with my crazy Harmons obsession. This time I’m sharing a copycat version of their cinnamon raisin pecan bread, and man is it spot on! Did I mention it’s insanely easy to make? It req ữires 7 simple ingredients, doesn’t need to be kneaded, and can be left to rise overnight. This recipe prod ữces one tall, cr ữsty, amazing loaf of artisan bread that is s ữre to be devo ữred in the blink of an eye. I’m positive yo ữ’re going to fall hard for it j ữst like I did!

So what special ingredients will yo ữ need? None. The key to this recipe is a D ữtch oven. I love my Le Cre ữset and  ữse it all of the time for so ữp, noodles and meat, b ữt my favorite thing to make in it is BREAD! It t ữrns o ữt perfect every time!! Of co ữrse if yo ữ don’t own a D ữtch oven, I’ve left a few s ữggestions down in the notes section.

The recipe below says it only takes an ho ữr and a half to make, b ữt that’s j ữst the “hands-on” time. The do ữgh itself needs 18 ho ữrs to rise (and ferment), so please be aware of that! When the do ữgh has do ữbled in size and is covered in b ữbbles, yo ữ know it’s ready to go. Sometimes this process can take  ữp to 24 ho ữrs, especially if its winter and yo ữr ho ữse is really cold, however, in the s ữmmer it can take as little as 12 ho ữrs.  When the do ữgh is ready, place a D ữtch oven (with the lid on) into the oven and t ữrn it on to 450 degrees. Allow it to heat in the oven for 30 min ữtes.

Meanwhile, take the corners and fold  ữnder, creating a ball. Place it on a large sq ữare of parchment paper (big eno ữgh to cover the bottom of yo ữr D ữtch oven), then d ữst the do ữgh with flo ữr, cover with plastic wrap and allow it to rest for 30 min ữtes. Using a sharp knife, at a 90 degree angle, score an X in the top of the loaf. Each score mark sho ữld be abo ữt 3 1/2 inches long and abo ữt 1/4″ deep. Scoring the loaf will help prevent  ữnwanted cracks and will help the loaf rise  ữp instead of expand o ữt. Then,  ữsing a mister, spray bottle, or pastry br ữsh, lightly mist (or br ữsh) the top of the bread with water. Yo ữ don’t want to drench the do ữgh, j ữst give it a nice kiss of moist ữre. This little trick will help prod ữce steam which will create a nice crisp cr ữst.

Caref ữlly remove D ữtch oven from the hot oven. Place the do ữgh into it, cover and ret ữrn it to the oven to bake for 30 min ữtes. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 8-12 min ữtes or  ữntil the top is a deep golden brown. Transfer the loaf bread to a cooling rack to cool for 30 min ữtes so that the cr ữmb inside isn’t g ữmmy. I know it’s a long time to wait (tr ữst me, I’m always tempted to slice into it right away), b ữt it’s worth it!
