Kneadless Bread (No Knead)
No Knead Bread
Ingredients
- 1 lb Bread flour (3 cups)
- 1 pkg Instant yeast
- 2 tbsp Kosher salt
- 2 cups very warm water (about 120°)
- 2 tbsp All purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
- Put dry ingredients into a large bowl and whisk together
- Add water and stir with a spoon or spatula until all the flour is incorporated
- Cover and allow to proof in a warm place for 2-3 hours
- OPTIONAL – Refrigerate dough for up to 2 days. Letting it sit will help develop flavor. If you do this, take it out of the refrigerator and allow to return to room temp for 1 hour before baking!
- Put a Dutch oven with the lid on into the oven. Preheat oven to 450°
- Sprinkle your work surface with the extra flour and turn the dough out onto the surface.
- Use a spatula to fold the edges over until you have a rough but squishy ball.
- Place a piece of parchment paper next to the dough and use a scraper or spatula to flip it onto the paper. Move it to the center of the paper
- Remove the Dutch oven from the hot oven and put the parchment with the dough into the Dutch oven. Replace the cover and bake for 30 minutes
- Take the lid off the Dutch oven and cook another 10-13 minutes until a nice golden color on top
- Remove from the oven(s) and cool on a rack for at least 10-15 minutes
