Description
An effortless artisan bread recipe that requires no kneading, offering a crispy crust and soft interior, perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups (450g) flour (bread or all-purpose)
- 2 tsp instant or rapid-rise yeast
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) very warm tap water
- 1 1/2 tbsp flour (for dusting)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, yeast, and salt. Pour in the warm water and mix until fully combined; the dough will be wet and not kneadable.
- Cover the bowl with cling wrap or a plate. Let the dough sit at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours until it doubles in size and is bubbly on top.
- For deeper flavor, you can refrigerate the dough for up to 3 days, letting it come to room temperature for about an hour before baking.
- Preheat your oven to 230°C (450°F) with a Dutch oven inside for 30 minutes.
- Dust your work surface with 1 tbsp flour. Scrape the dough from the bowl and sprinkle it with the remaining flour; gently fold over the sides to shape.
- Place parchment paper next to the dough and flip it seam-side down onto the paper, reshaping as needed.
- Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven, and use the parchment paper to lift the dough into it. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the lid and bake for an additional 12 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let the bread cool on a rack for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Serve warm with butter or olive oil, use for sandwiches, or pair with soup or salad.
