A no-knead bread that’s crusty on the outside, chewy, and fluffy on the inside. It tastes similar to sourdough bread but without the “sour”. With only four ingredients needed and a dutch oven pot, this recipe is the perfect easy bread to start with.
In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tsp active dry yeast and 1 ½ tsp salt. Now add 2 cups of warm water and mix together.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in a warm dark place away from sunlight for 2-3 hours to allow the dough to rise.
Place the dutch oven in the oven and preheat the oven to 450℉. The pot will be hot!
Now scoop the dough onto a piece of parchment paper and place it in the hot dutch oven pot. Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes. Next, remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Let the bread cool enough to handle then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Use a bread knife to slice and serve.
