Dutch Oven No Knead Bread
Description
The recipe starts by combining dry ingredients—flour, dry yeast, and salt—then adding lukewarm water to form a sticky dough. After mixing, the dough rests covered at room temperature for at least twelve hours, allowing it to ferment and develop flavor and gluten structure without kneading. Next, the dough is shaped on a floured surface and left to rise again while the oven and Dutch oven preheat.
Baking the dough inside the preheated Dutch oven traps steam, leading to a well-developed crust and tender crumb. The loaf bakes with the lid on for the initial period and then uncovered to brown the crust. Cooling on a wire rack before slicing allows the interior to set properly, yielding a satisfying texture.
This bread is well suited for simple accompaniment to meals or sandwiches. The recipe relies on fermentation time for flavor and texture, so planning ahead is necessary to enjoy fresh bread.
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- 1 tsp yeast dry
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cup water lukewarm (110 °F)
Instructions
- Combine the dry ingredients together.
- Add in the wet ingredients and stir to combine everything together until the dry ingredients are no longer visible.
- Cover the dough using a plastic wrap and allow for the dough to sit for at least 12 hours at room temperature.
- Flour a working surface and shape the dough into a bread shape. Sprinkle the parchment paper with flour and place the dough on it. Cover it using a towel and allow it to rise for about 30-60 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425 °F, with the dutch oven inside. Place the bread dough inside of the dutch oven together with parchment paper. Bake it for 30 minutes with the lid on.
- Remove the lid and bake the bread for another 15 minutes. Leave the bread on a wire rack to cool down before cutting into it.
