Easy No-Knead Bread Recipe
Experience the joy of baking without the kneading fuss!
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Plastic wrap
- Parchment paper
- Dutch oven or a deep baking dish with a lid
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 cup warm water around 110°F or 43°C
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and yeast.
- Add warm water and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 2h (if you want to leave for 12-18 hours, flavour will be even better) allowing the dough to rise and develop flavour.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a Dutch oven inside to heat.
- While the oven is preheating, transfer the dough onto a well-floured surface. Shape it with spatula into a ball and transfer to the baking paper.
- Once the oven is ready, carefully place the baking paper with dough in the preheated Dutch oven.
- Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool on a wire rack for 10 min before slicing.
Notes
- Experiment with adding herbs, seeds, or cheese to the dough for unique flavours.
- For a crispier crust, remove the lid for the entire baking time.
- If you don’t have a lid, use the aluminium sheet
