No Knead Bread

Catherine
No Knead Bread is the easiest way you can bake your own bread at home! This fool-proof method requires no elbow grease and only a handful ingredients to get you the perfect loaf every time! This method yields a bread with a gorgeous, soft crumb and a crusty outer layer. Perfection, in my opinion!

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 teaspoon dry active yeast
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water

Instructions
 

  • Mix the yeast, salt and flour in a large bowl. Add the warm water and stir with a wooden spoon until it forms a sticky dough. If the dough is too dry, add a little warm water at a time. The dough should look a bit wet and be sticky to the touch. Cover with plastic wrap and a clean tea towel. Leave it in a warm place to rise overnight or for at least 8 hours. It will double in size overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 450F and place a 4 quart dutch oven inside to heat for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, generously flour a parchment paper. With well floured hands, unwrap the dough and push down to deflate it slightly. Ensuring your hands are still well-floured begin to pull the dough away from the sides of the bowl and then transfer it to the parchment paper. Form it roughly into a ball and sprinkle with flour. Recover it with plastic wrap and let it rise again for 30 minutes (while the dutch oven is heating in the oven).
  • Remove the dutch oven from the oven and remove the plastic from the dough. Quickly transfer the dough and parchment paper (leave the parchment under the dough) into the dutch oven and cover with the lid. Bake for 35 minutes. After 45 minutes, remove the lid and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the bread is cooked through and a nice golden brown on top.
