Get ready for the ultimate no knead bread recipe! This Dutch oven bread has a golden crispy crust and is soft and chewy on the inside. The recipe calls for only 4 ingredients and requires minimal prep time.

Ingredients
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cup warm water 105-115 degrees F
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp instant yeast
Instructions
- In a large bowl mix the all purpose flour, instant yeast, salt and water using a large spoon. The dough will be wet and tacky, that's how it should be.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and a towel. Place it in a draft-free space such as an off oven for 6 to 8 hours (overnight).
- After the resting time, you'll see that the dough has risen and it feels quite shaggy. Gently transfer it to a floured surface and shape it into a ball, making sure the bottom of the dough is intact.
- Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper. Lightly top with some flour, cover with a kitchen towel and let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Place a 6 to 8-quart Dutch oven with a lid in the oven, and preheat to 450 degrees F. Once the dough has rested for one hour and the oven is heated, remove the pot very carefully and take the lid off using oven mitts.
- Lift the parchment paper with the dough on it and place it in the Dutch oven. Place the lid back on, and place the pot back in the oven. Bake for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, remove the lid to expose the bread. It should have risen and look quite pale. Bake uncovered for another 20 to 25 minutes until the loaf is golden brown.
Notes
- You can make this bread using bread flour. Bread flour contains more protein which would improve the texture of the loaf.
- You can use half whole wheat flour and half all purpose flour. I don't recommend using more whole wheat flour as it would make the bread very dense and a bit bitter.
- Store the leftovers in a paper bag at room temperature for up to 2 days or wrap in a plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 days. To freeze, wrap each bread slice individually and freeze for up to 4 months. Thaw in the fridge or at room temperature and toast if desired.
