The Ultimate No-Knead Bread Recipe

A simple and rewarding no-knead bread recipe that transforms a few simple ingredients into a glorious loaf.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 ½ cups Water
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Active Dry Yeast

Instructions

  1. Mix your ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and yeast. Stir gently to combine. Then, add the water and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 12-18 hours.
  3. Lightly flour your work surface and turn the dough out. Dust the top with flour to prevent sticking. Shape it into a ball and let it rest for about 15 minutes.
  4. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) with a Dutch oven inside to heat up.
  5. Carefully flip the dough onto parchment paper and cover it while the oven heats up.
  6. Bake the dough in the Dutch oven for 30 minutes with the lid on. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Feel free to experiment with flavors by adding herbs, spices, or cheese.
