No-knead bread

🥣 Instructions

1️⃣ Mix the Dough

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and yeast.
  2. Add warm water and stir until a shaggy, sticky dough forms.
  3. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean towel.
  4. Let rise at room temperature 12–18 hours, until bubbly and doubled in size.

2️⃣ Shape the Dough

  1. Lightly flour a surface and hands.
  2. Gently fold the dough over itself a couple of times — do not knead.
  3. Let rest 15–30 minutes while you preheat the oven.

3️⃣ Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F / 230°C with a Dutch oven or heavy oven-safe pot inside.
  2. Carefully transfer dough into the hot pot (use parchment paper for easier handling).
  3. Cover with lid and bake 30 minutes.
  4. Remove lid and bake 10–15 more minutes until golden brown and crusty.

4️⃣ Cool

  • Remove bread and cool on a wire rack at least 1 hour before slicing.

💡 Tips

  • Use a Dutch oven for the best crust.
  • Don’t skip the long rise — that’s what gives flavor and texture.
  • Experiment with mix-ins: herbs, olives, cheese, or seeds.
  • Store in a paper bag at room temperature for 2–3 days or freeze slices for longer storage.
