  • Anybody can make it — even beginners

Once you try it, you may never buy bread again!


🕰️ HISTORY

No-knead bread became wildly popular thanks to bakers who discovered that long fermentation replaces kneading. Since ancient times, bread was made with minimal ingredients — water, flour, salt, and yeast — and allowed to rise slowly.

In 2006, the New York Times featured a famous no-knead method, revolutionizing home baking. Since then, millions have embraced this simple technique because:

  • Time does the work
  • The dough becomes beautifully airy
  • It develops deep, natural flavor
  • Anyone can succeed with it

This recipe follows the same tradition: simple, rustic, and unbelievably delicious.


🧩 FORMATION OF THE BREAD

This bread works through:

  1. Hydration — High water content softens gluten without kneading
  2. Fermentation — Slow rising creates flavor and those gorgeous air pockets
  3. Heat + Steam — Baking in a covered pot mimics a professional bakery oven
  4. Resting — The crumb becomes soft and chewy while the crust crisps

The method is as brilliant as it is simple.


🧂 INGREDIENTS (ONLY 4!)

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 ½ cups warm water

Optional Add-ins:

  • 1 tbsp sugar (for a slightly sweeter bread)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for softer texture)
  • Herbs like rosemary or thyme
  • Sesame or poppy seeds

🍳 METHOD & INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1 — Mix the Dough

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and yeast.
  2. Pour in warm water.
  3. Mix with a spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean towel.

Step 2 — Let It Rest

  • Allow the dough to rise for 12–18 hours at room temperature.
  • It will become bubbly, soft, and doubled in size — perfect!

Step 3 — Shape the Dough (No Kneading!)

  1. Flour your hands and surface.
  2. Gently lift the dough and shape into a loose ball.
  3. Place on parchment paper and let rest 30 minutes.

Step 4 — Preheat the Oven

  • Place a Dutch oven (or heavy pot with lid) into the oven.
  • Preheat to 450°F (230°C).

Step 5 — Bake

  1. Carefully place parchment with dough into the hot pot.
  2. Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
  3. Remove lid and bake another 10–15 minutes until golden brown.

Step 6 — Cool

  • Place loaf on a cooling rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
  • This helps finish the cooking inside and keeps the crumb soft.
