This Quick No Knead Bread for Dutch Oven recipe is a simple way to make delicious homemade bread without the need for kneading. With minimal ingredients and easy steps, you can enjoy fresh, crusty bread straight from your oven.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Bread:

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (instant or rapid rise yeast also works)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 cups warm water (just above room temperature)
  • More flour for shaping the loaf

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Combine flour, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Add warm water and mix until combined.
  2. Rise the Dough: Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for about 1.5 hours.
  3. Shape the Loaf: Preheat the oven and place a Dutch oven inside to heat. Shape the dough into a loaf on parchment paper.
  4. Second Rise: Let the dough rise for 30 minutes while the oven preheats.
  5. Bake the Bread: Transfer the dough into the hot Dutch oven, bake covered, then uncover and bake until golden.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the water temperature is just above room temperature to activate the yeast.
  • Handle the dough gently to preserve its structure and rise.
  • Resist cutting the bread too early to avoid a gummy texture.
