Easy No-Knead Artisan Bread

A simple, no-knead artisan bread recipe that requires minimal effort and results in a flavorful loaf with a crispy crust.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 31/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp instant yeast
  • 11/2 tsp salt
  • 11/2 cups warm water

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, and salt.
  2. Add the warm water and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined. (It will look shaggy.)
  3. Cover with plastic wrap and a towel, letting it sit for 4-24 hours in a non-drafty place.
  4. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) at least 30 minutes before baking.
  5. If using a Dutch oven, place it in the oven while it heats.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and shape it gently into a round.
  7. Transfer the dough onto parchment paper, then lift the dough (with the parchment) into the hot Dutch oven, put the lid on, and bake for 30 minutes.
  8. Remove the lid and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the crust is deep golden brown.
  9. Let the bread cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Store the bread at room temperature in a paper bag for up to 2 days or in a sealed plastic bag for up to 4 days. To freeze, slice the loaf and wrap slices in foil; they keep well for up to 3 months.
