MYCrusty, homemade bread—ready the same day and so easy! 🥖✨
This is the bread I make anytime we want something quick at home—or to bring to a friend.
4 ingredients. No kneading. Mix, rise, shape, and bake in a Dutch oven.
Ingredients (2 loaves)
• 3 cups lukewarm water
• 1 Tbsp active dry yeast (or instant yeast for faster rise)
• 1½ tsp salt
• 6½ cups all-purpose flour
Method
1. In a large bowl, whisk water and yeast until dissolved. Stir in flour and salt until combined (dough will be sticky).
2. Cover and let rise at room temp until doubled, about 2–3 hours (or 1 hour with instant yeast).
3. Divide dough, shape into loaves, and let rest 20–40 minutes. Sticky dough is normal—add a little flour if needed. Wet hands lightly if dough sticks.
4. Preheat oven to 450°F with Dutch oven inside. Slash tops and bake: 30 minutes covered, then 10–15 minutes uncovered.
5. Cool at least 1 hour before slicing.
