No Kneading No Eggs No Butter Bread
Here are the simple ingredients you’ll need for this bread:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups water (lukewarm)
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions
Making this bread is incredibly simple. Follow these easy steps:
- Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
- Step 2: Gradually add the lukewarm water to the flour mixture, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
- Step 3: Once combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for 12-18 hours. This will allow the dough to rise naturally.
- Step 4: After the resting period, preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Step 5: Place a Dutch oven, with its lid, in the oven while it preheats to ensure it gets hot.
- Step 6: Once preheated, carefully remove the Dutch oven and place the dough (which will be very sticky) onto a well-floured surface. Shape it into a ball.
- Step 7: Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper and carefully lift it into the hot Dutch oven.
- Step 8: Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes.
- Step 9: Remove the lid and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Step 10: Remove the bread from the Dutch oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
