    No-Knead Crusty Artisan Bread

    Are you stuck at home and learning how to make bread? This is a good starter recipe for those who have never made bread before and it's pretty legit. Trust me, I've made it a lot of times now.

    It makes pretty awesome toast as well. You can spread just about anything on it like peanut butter, Nutella, jam, and avocado. Also, make sure to read the tips below to help you out during the whole process!

    Once you've mastered this whole process of baking bread you can change up the flavors a bit with this exact same method. Think cinnamon raisin bread, love cinnamon raisin bread, cranberry walnut bread, cheddar and garlic, the list goes on and on and you are going to be a happy camper when you eat this. 🙂

    Tips for No-Knead Bread

    When you are ready to bake the bread, you will need to heat your dutch oven first for 30 minutes. I've tested this step before without preheating the oven and the bread didn't turn the golden brown color like the pictures show. Do NOT skip this step.

    Make sure to use oven mitts or hot pads for safety, when transferring the heated dutch oven.

    No Dutch Oven: Use an oven-safe pot or pan with a lid on it. The dutch oven creates steam inside since it is covered. 

    The last ten minutes you take the cover off of the dutch oven and bake the bread uncovered so it gets those crusty brown edges.

    Oh yah and if you love avocado toast try it with homemade fresh bread. You'll be amazed at how good it is. 🙂

    Ingredients

    • 3 cups All Purpose Flour
    • 1½ tsp. salt
    • 1 tsp. active dry yeast 
    • 1½ cups luke-warm water

    Instructions

    1. Combine the three dry ingredients in a large bowl, then pour in the luke-warm water. 
    2. Stir until completely combined. The dough will look messy and not smooth and that is completely okay. Once combined, cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or set a towel over the bowl;  let sit on the counter overnight.
    3. When the dough is done rising and ready to bake, preheat oven to 450 degrees F. 
    4.  Stick a 6-quart enamel coated cast iron Lodge Dutch Oven (or similar) in the oven for about 30 minutes to heat.
    5. Heavily flour clean countertop or surface. Remember this is no-knead!  Dump the dough onto a floured surface and shape into a round ball. 
    6. After dutch oven has preheated, take the dutch oven out CAREFULLY  with some oven mits or hot pads. Note handles will be extremely HOT! 
    7. Place the ball of dough in the dutch oven and cover with lid. 
    8. Bake at 450 degrees F for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes until done. Bread will be golden in color.

    Notes

    If using Instant Yeast, the dough does not need to sit overnight, only a couple of hours. 

    No Dutch Oven: Use an oven-safe pot or pan with a lid on it. The dutch oven creates steam inside since it is covered.
