No Knead Bread

by FarmgirlGourmet March 20, 2015

The easiest recipe for No Knead bread I’ve ever made.  Toss a few ingredients together and forget about it for 16+ hours, then bake to gluten infused perfection.

I’m going to let you in a little something about me.  There are few things that have me heart and soul (other than my family) completely.  I’m talking serious food lust here my friends.  Here it goes….BREAD.  Yep, any type of bread.  Banana bread.  Crusty bread.  Sweet bread.  If it has bread in the name, then it’s all mine (except the bread from brains – let’s just not go there).  I imagine part of this love of bread was instilled in me by my grandmother.  She is the queen of Portuguese Sweet Bread and known county-wide for her buttery rounds of gluten deliciousness.  So I guess it’s no wonder I’m like Superman and bread is my Kryptonite.  This no knead bread is hands down the best and easiest recipe I’ve ever made.

No Knead Bread (2 of 2)

You don’t need to be a serious bread baker to make this.  The only thing needed is a cast iron dutch oven.  I have found them at thrift stores and even reasonable priced at stores like TJ Maxx or Ross.  Of course, the Le Creuset dutch oven also works fabulously if you have the means to own one.

This bread was baked right in the dutch oven and it came out just like it’s pictured.  Perfect.  Chewy outer crust and soft crumb inner.  Delectable.  Now I wish I had more!  Everyone at dinner raved on and on about it.  I think some may have even thought I went to the store and bought the loaf and stuck it in the pot.  But I assure you, its from scratcharoo and so easy to make.  Let’s stop jabbering and get to the recipe, shall we?

No Knead Bread

Prep 15 mins

Cook 50 mins

Total 1 hour, 5 mins

Yield 1 1 1/2 pound loaf

The easiest and best No Knead Rustic bread I've ever made.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 teaspoon dry active yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • cornmeal for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, add the yeast and lukewarm water and stir. Allow to sit for 2 minutes. Add the flour and salt, stir with a wooden spoon to blend. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow to rest for 8 hours, 14-18 hours preferably, at room temperature.
  2. After the dough has rested and risen, flour a work surface and turn out the dough. Flour lightly and fold the dough over itself twice. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and rest 20 minutes.
  3. Gently shape into a ball, dust with cornmeal and cover again with the kitchen towel for 1-2 hours.
  4. Heat oven with 5.5 qt dutch oven inside to 475º F. Gently place the dough, seam side up into the hot dutch oven. Cover and bake 30 minutes. Remove the lid and continue baking 15-20 minutes longer. Remove and allow to cool for 20 minutes or more before slicing.

I don’t have a Dutch oven. would a stainless pasta pan work?

FarmgirlGourmet April 6, 2015 - 9:27 pm

only if it’s oven proof and has a lid.

Bettye Hull March 27, 2015 - 2:27 pm

Heather, would this work in a heavy stoneware covered dish in the oven?

FarmgirlGourmet March 31, 2015 - 10:39 am

Yes that should work just fine.

Cathy March 23, 2015 - 5:41 pm

What size Dutch oven.

FarmgirlGourmet March 24, 2015 - 11:17 am

5.5 qt dutch oven. Oops…should’ve mentioned that! 🙂 Nice catch.
