Easy No-Knead Bread Recipe
Ingredients:
3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour or bread flour
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon instant yeast
1 ½ cups (350 ml) warm water (not hot)
Instructions:
1. Mix the ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and yeast.
Add the warm water and mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until you get a sticky dough.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let it rest at room temperature for 8-12 hours (overnight is best).
2. Shape the dough
After resting, the dough will be bubbly and soft.
Lightly flour your hands and work surface, then gently shape the dough into a ball.
If baking in a Dutch oven or pot, place the dough on parchment paper for easy transfer.
3. Preheat and bake
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a Dutch oven, place it inside the oven while preheating.
Carefully place the dough in the hot Dutch oven or on a baking tray. Cover with a lid or foil for the first 30 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for another 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
4. Cool and enjoy!
Let the bread cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing. This helps it set properly.
Enjoy with jam, cheese, or any topping of your choice!
