This bread requires no kneading! It is unbelievably good and ridiculously easy to make. Crusty outside, soft and chewy inside – perfect for dunking in soups!
Ingredients:
3 cups Baker's Dream flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp instant yeast
1 1/2 cups room temperature water
Method:
Dough Prep:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, salt, and yeast together until mixed. Stir in the water until a chunky, thick dough forms. Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest for 12-18 hours at room temperature.
Baking Prep:
When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 220°C. Place a Dutch Oven in the oven for 30 minutes to heat. At this point, the dough should be big, puffy and loose, with little bubbles in it. Gently scrape the dough out onto a well-floured surface. (Remember: NO KNEAD.) Gently shape it into a ball with flour on the outside, set on a piece of parchment, and cover with plastic while your pan heats up.
Bake:
Remove the plastic from the dough. Lift the dough and parchment together into the Dutch Oven so the parchment lines the bottom of the hot pan. Bake, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove the cover and bake for another 10-15 minutes to get the exterior golden brown and crispy.
