Crusty No Knead Dutch Oven Bread
With 4 simple everyday ingredients, you can make a delicious artisan crusty bread.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon yeast
- 1½ cups warm water about 110°
- 3-4 Tablespoons butter
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine the dry ingredients: flour, salt, yeast
- Pour the warm water into the dry ingredients and stir to incorporate with a wooden spoon, danish whisk or your hands. Don't over work - just pull the dry ingredients and water together - dough will be shaggy, shape into a ball.
- Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and set on the counter for it to rise. Allow to rise 12-18 hours at room temperature.
- After the dough has risen, pre-heat the oven to 450° and go ahead and place your empty dutch oven with the lid on it in the oven while it is pre-heating.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured piece of parchment paper and shape into a ball or an oval - depending on the shape of your dutch oven - my dutch oven is an oval so I shape my dough that way - cover with a cloth and allow dough to rest until oven has come up to temperature and your dutch oven is hot.
- Carefully remove the pot from the oven and place the dough and parchment paper into the hot pot and place back in the oven with the lid on.
- Bake for 30 minutes with the lid on then remove lid and bake for another 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and remove the bread from the pot - immediately and carefully rub the loaf with the butter, all of the butter!!
