Description
Discover the easiest way to bake no knead bread at home with minimal effort. From simple ingredients to endless variations, this guide has you covered.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, and salt. Add the warm water and mix until a sticky dough forms. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for 12-18 hours, or until the surface is bubbly.
- When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a heavy, oven-safe pot (like a Dutch oven) with its lid into the oven to heat up.
- Lightly flour a work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Shape the dough into a ball with floured hands and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rest for about 30 minutes.
- Carefully remove the pot from the oven and place the dough inside. Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Let the bread cool before slicing and serving.
