February 13, 2025 by BMA24

With just a few ingredients, minimal effort, and a little patience, youโ€™ll have a rustic, golden-crusted loaf thatโ€™s perfect for any meal. The best part? No kneading requiredโ€”just mix, wait, and bake!


โฑ Prep Time: 5 minutes

๐Ÿณ Cook Time: 45โ€“50 minutes

โฒ Total Time: 3 hours (including rising time)

๐Ÿฝ Servings: 8 slices

๐Ÿ”ฅ Calories per Serving: ~180 kcal


๐Ÿž Ingredients

  • ๐Ÿž 3 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
  • ๐Ÿง‚ 1 1/4 tsp salt
  • ๐Ÿฏ 1/2 tsp instant yeast
  • ๐Ÿฅ„ 1 1/2 cups warm water (around 110ยฐF/43ยฐC)

๐Ÿ“ Instructions

  1. Mix the Dough:
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and instant yeast.
  • Add the warm water and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until the mixture forms a sticky dough. The dough should be shaggy and a little rough.
  1. Let the Dough Rise:
  • Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
  • Let the dough rise at room temperature for about 2โ€“3 hours, or until it has doubled in size and is bubbly.
  1. Shape the Dough:
  • Once the dough has risen, gently scrape it out of the bowl onto a lightly floured surface.
  • Shape the dough into a ball by folding the edges toward the center. Donโ€™t overwork itโ€”just bring it together.
  1. Preheat the Oven and Pot:
  • Preheat your oven to 450ยฐF (230ยฐC).
  • Place a heavy Dutch oven (or oven-safe pot with a lid) into the oven while itโ€™s heating up. This will create a perfect, steamy environment for baking.
  1. Bake the Bread:
  • Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven.
  • Transfer the shaped dough into the pot (you can line it with parchment paper for easy removal, if desired).
  • Cover the pot with its lid and bake for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes, remove the lid and continue baking for another 15โ€“20 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the crust is crisp.
  1. Cool & Serve:
  • Let the bread cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing to allow the crumb to set.
  • Slice and enjoy the fresh, warm, homemade bread!

๐Ÿคฉ Why Youโ€™ll Love This No-Knead Bread:

  • Effortless: Just mix, let it rise, and bakeโ€”no kneading, no fuss.
  • Golden, Crispy Crust: The Dutch oven helps form a beautifully crisp, rustic crust with a soft, airy interior.
  • Perfect for Beginners: Even if youโ€™ve never baked bread before, this recipe is foolproof and simple.
  • Fresh & Flavorful: Enjoy the unmatched taste of homemade bread, fresh from the oven, with just a few basic ingredients.

๐Ÿ’ก Tips:

  • Instant Yeast: Make sure to use instant yeast (also called rapid-rise) for the best results. Itโ€™s mixed directly into the dry ingredients, so no proofing is necessary.
  • Resting Time: If you have the time, allow the dough to rise for longer (up to 12 hours) for even better flavor and texture.
  • Bread Variations: Add herbs, garlic, or a handful of seeds or nuts to the dough before the final rise for extra flavor.
  • Storage: Store any leftover bread in a paper bag or a breadbox to keep it fresh for a few days. You can also freeze it for longer storage.

Enjoy your Brilliant No-Knead Breadโ€”a simple, delicious way to bring homemade bread into your kitchen without the hassle!
