Description

This No Knead Dutch Oven Bread is a delightful blend of simple ingredients coming together to create a crusty, flavorful loaf. It’s perfect for quick dinners or comforting meals, and with minimal prep, you can enjoy fresh homemade bread with ease.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water (110-115°f)
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 (1/4 ounce) packet rapid rise yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 4 cups all purpose flour plus additional as needed
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt or plain table salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Once the yeast is active, mix in the egg and oil to the yeast mixture at low speed until just combined.
  4. On medium speed, gradually add 3 cups of flour. Add the remaining 1/2 cup flour, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough is not sticky and pulls away from the bowl's sides.
  5. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and shape it into a smooth ball by folding edges underneath.
  6. Spray a clean mixing bowl with nonstick cooking spray or brush with oil, place the dough inside, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled (about 1 hour).
  7. Preheat the oven to 450°F, placing the Dutch oven with its lid inside to heat up.
  8. Once the dough has risen, position it on parchment paper and create small slits on the top with a knife.
  9. Carefully take out the Dutch oven lid and use the parchment corners to place the dough in it. Be cautious as it's hot!
  10. Cover the Dutch oven with the lid and bake for 40 minutes.
  11. After 40 minutes, remove the lid and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the top is golden brown.
  12. Use the parchment paper to move the bread to a wire rack to cool completely, then slice and enjoy.

Notes

Ensure the water is at the right temperature (110-115°F) to activate the yeast properly.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing to maintain its texture.
This recipe can be adjusted with different herbs or cheeses for added flavor.
