No Knead Crusty Artisan Bread

Baked in a Dutch Oven, this bread is incredible and is fool-proof! As easy as it gets when it comes to bread making. Thank you Chef in Training


3 cups All Purpose Flour
1½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. yeast
1½ cups luke-warm water

  • Combine the three dry ingredients in a large bowl then pour in the luke-warm water. 
  • Stir until completely combined. 
  • Dough will look messy and not smooth and that is completely okay.
  • Once combined, cover tightly with plastic wrap and let sit on the counter overnight.
  • Let it rise anywhere from 12-18 hours. 
  • Dough will be puffed up appear bubbly and be sticky.
  • When dough is done rising and ready to bake, preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Heavily flour clean counter top or surface. 
  • Turn dough onto floured surface and shape into a round ball. 
  • Cover lightly with plastic wrap and let dough rest.
  • While the dough is resting, place your dutch oven into the oven for 30 minutes to pre-heat.
  • After dutch oven has preheated, place ball of dough in the centre of the dutch oven and cover with lid. 
  • You can put a piece of parchment under it if your dutch oven doesn't have an enamel coating.
  • Bake at 450 degrees F for 30 minutes. 
  • After 30 minutes, remove lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes until done. 
  • Bread will be golden in color.
 Note : Handles will be extremely HOT so remember to use hot pads
