Description

This easy bread recipe is perfect for those who want to try making homemade bread without any complications. The recipe requires only a few simple ingredients and is baked in a Dutch oven, which ensures a crusty exterior and a soft interior. The bread is perfect for sandwiches, toast, or just as a side with your favorite soup or stew.

Prep Time

15-20 minutes

Cook Time

45-50 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water

Equipment

  • Dutch oven with lid (5-quart or larger)
  • Mixing bowl
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Parchment paper

Method

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and yeast. Mix well.
  2. Add the warm water and stir until a shaggy dough forms. The dough should be sticky but not too wet.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for 12-18 hours. The dough will rise and become bubbly.
  4. Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).
  5. Place a piece of parchment paper in the bottom of the Dutch oven.
  6. Using a spatula, gently transfer the dough into the Dutch oven. Do not knead the dough.
  7. Put the lid on the Dutch oven and bake for 30 minutes.
  8. Remove the lid and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  9. Remove the bread from the Dutch oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
  10. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure your Dutch oven is completely dry before using it.
  • You can add herbs or spices to the dough for extra flavor.
  • If you don't have parchment paper, you can use cornmeal to prevent the bread from sticking to the Dutch oven.

Recipes FAQ

Can I use bread flour instead of all-purpose flour?

Yes, you can use bread flour instead of all-purpose flour. Bread flour will give the bread a slightly chewier texture.

Can I add cheese or other toppings to the bread?

Yes, you can add cheese, herbs, or other toppings to the bread before baking. Just be sure to keep the toppings light so they don't weigh down the dough.

Can I use a smaller Dutch oven?

Yes, you can use a smaller Dutch oven, but the bread may not rise as high.

Recipe Tips

  • Don't overmix the dough. A shaggy, sticky dough will yield a better texture.
  • If the dough is too dry, add a little more water. If it's too wet, add a little more flour.
  • Letting the dough rise for at least 12 hours is important for developing flavor and texture.
  • Make sure your oven is preheated to 450°F (232°C) before baking.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent it from becoming too gummy.
