The ultimate NO KNEAD ARTISAN BREAD recipe for the absolute beginner 🥖

this is the easiest quick rise bread recipe. no sourdough starter, no kneading or stretching and folding. it’s as easy as mixing 4 ingredients into a bowl, loosely shaping, and baking! it’s a same-day recipe and honestly it’s the easiest bread l’ve ever made.

INGREDIENTS:
- 3 cups flour (bread flour or all purpose)
- 2 tsp instant yeast
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups warm water

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Stir together the dry ingredients then add in the warm water
- ⁠Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Cover and let rise for 2-3 hours (up to 12 hrs)
***after dough has doubled in size***
- Preheat oven to 450f with a Dutch oven inside
- Peel it out of the bowl onto a well floured surface and shape it into a ball
- Score the top and place into the preheated Dutch oven
- Bake for 30 mins with the lid ON
- Take the lid off and bake for another 12-15 mins to brown up
- Let cool for 10 mins
Slice and enjoy!!

NOTE: if you don’t have a Dutch oven you can still make delicious crispy bread on a regular baking tray. It’s called the Open-Bake & Water Pan Method. Just put an oven safe baking dish with water at the bottom of the oven during the first 30 mins, then remove it for the remaining 15 mins. The water creates steam to give you that crispy artisan crust on your bread.
