Dutch Oven Bread

Dutch Oven Bread is the easiest, no-knead bread I have ever made. It has a crunchy, flaky outside and a soft, flavorful inside.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk flour, salt, and yeast until combined.
  2. Pour water over the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Cover tightly and let rise for a minimum of 8 hours, but no longer than 18 hours. Dough will be done rising when it has almost doubled in size and the top is flat and bubbly.
  4. Heat oven to 450. Place empty dutch oven and lid in the oven and heat for 30 minutes.
  5. While the dutch oven is heating up, punch the dough down and using floured hands place dough on a floured sheet of parchment paper. Quickly shape the dough into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
  6. Once dutch oven is done baking and the dough has been resting for 30 minutes, uncover the dough and transfer the dough and parchment paper to the dutch oven. Sprinkle the top of the dough with a little bit of flour.
  7. Bake covered for 45 minutes. Remove cover and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
