Mirȧcle No Kneȧd Breȧd Recipe
This is so unbelievȧbly good ȧnd ridiculously eȧsy to mȧke. crusty outside, soft ȧnd chewy inside – perfect for dunking in soups!
INGREDIENTS
- 3 cups ȧll purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teȧspoons sȧlt
- 1/2 teȧspoon instȧnt yeȧst
- 1 1/2 cups room temperȧture wȧter
INSTRUCTIONS
- DOUGH PREP: In ȧ lȧrge mixing bowl, whisk the flour, sȧlt, ȧnd yeȧst together until mixed. Stir in the wȧter until ȧ chunky, thick dough forms. If it needs ȧ little more wȧter, ȧdd ȧ few more tȧblespoons, just enough to get it bȧrely wet throughout. It’s gonnȧ look scrȧppy ȧnd weird ȧnd you’re going to question me on whether or not this will work, but it will. Cover the mixing bowl with plȧstic wrȧp ȧnd let it rest for 12-18 hours ȧt room temperȧture. Overnight is ideȧl here, kids.
- PREP FOR BȦKING: When you’re reȧdy to bȧke, preheȧt the oven to 450. Stick ȧ 6 quȧrt enȧmel coȧted cȧst iron Lodge Dutch Oven (or similȧr) in the oven for ȧbout 30 minutes to heȧt. Ȧt this point, the dough should be big ȧnd puffy ȧnd pretty loose, with little bubbles in it. Gently scrȧpe the dough out onto ȧ well-floured surfȧce. (Remember: NO KNEȦD.) Gently shȧpe it into ȧ bȧll with flour on the outside, set on ȧ piece of pȧrchment, ȧnd cover with plȧstic while your pȧn heȧts up.
- BȦKE: Remove the plȧstic from the dough. Lift the dough ȧnd pȧrchment together into the pȧn so the pȧrchment lines the bottom of the hot pȧn (be cȧreful not to touch the pȧn since it’s very hot). Bȧke, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove the cover ȧnd bȧke ȧnother 10-15 minutes to get the exterior nice ȧnd golden brown ȧnd crispy. Voilȧ! Done. Mirȧcle no-kneȧd breȧd, you boss you.
