Brilliant No-Knead Bread Recipe

 

Ingredients:

3 cups all-purpose flour – Provides structure for the bread.

1 ½ cups warm water – Helps activate the yeast and hydrate the dough.

1 teaspoon active dry yeast – The key to a light and fluffy texture.

1 teaspoon salt – Enhances flavor and strengthens the dough.

How To Make Brilliant No-Knead Bread

1. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, yeast, and salt until well combined.

2. Add Warm Water

Pour in warm water and stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. The dough will be sticky and uneven—this is normal!

3. Cover and Let It Rise

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let the dough rise at room temperature for 12-18 hours.

4. Shape the Dough

The dough should double in size and have a bubbly surface.

Lightly flour a surface and gently shape the dough into a round loaf.

Avoid overhandling—just form it into a rough ball.

5. Preheat the Dutch Oven

Place a Dutch oven with a lid in your oven and preheat to 450°F (232°C) for 30 minutes.

This step helps create a crispy, golden crust.

6. Bake Covered

Carefully place the dough into the preheated Dutch oven and cover with the lid.

Bake at 450°F for 30 minutes.

7. Bake Uncovered

Remove the lid and bake for another 15 minutes, allowing the crust to turn a deep golden brown.

8. Let Cool & Enjoy!

Remove the bread from the Dutch oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.

This allows the inside to set properly and prevents a gummy texture.
