Next, add warm water and stir. Be sure the water is around 105 degrees F, anything warmer could kill the yeast and prevent the dutch oven bread from rising.

Stir the dough until a sticky ball forms. As you can see in the photo on the right, the dough should hold a ball shape but it will be stick to the touch, and not very smooth.

First cover the bowl with greased plastic wrap and wrap the bowl tightly. Then place a damp tea towel over the plastic wrap. Set it in a secure, warm place in your kitchen to rest for at least 18 hours, preferably 24.

Easy, No Knead Dutch Oven Bread

After 24 hours, the no knead bread should look like the left photo below. The dough will rise in the bowl and have holes in it. Flour your hands and press the dough down. Then use a little extra flour to make the dough into a ball, and cover it to let it rest.

Important note:The dough ball will be loose and “floppy.” It will be a little difficult to transfer to the baking pan. That is how it should be as this is a very moist bread which is what makes it so irresistible. So you will not have a firm ball, it will look a little flat (as pictured below).

Right before you pull the dough out of the bowl, place the dutch oven into the oven and preheat it to 450 degrees F. Placing the artisan bread dough into the warm dutch oven results in a golden-brown crispy crust. When the oven is preheated, carefully remove the heated dutch oven from the oven, spray with cooking spray and put the dough inside.

This Easy No Knead Bread needs to be baked for 30 minutes covered and 15 minutes uncovered, so a lidded baking dish is critical. I use this Le Creuset 2.75 qt. dutch ovento bake mine, but most round baking dishes with a lid will work.

Once the no knead bread is done baking, remove it from the dutch oven and place it on a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.

It! My favorite ways to eat it is with a warm bowl of soup, dipped into this baked goat cheese dip, or in a swirl of balsamic vinegar and olive oil!

Thank you for supporting !Quick No Knead Bread In Dutch Oven – a spin on a popular Crusty No Knead Dutch Oven Bread recipe, shared originally by the New York Times more than 10 years ago. This time I used Instant Yeast and a combination of all purpose and whole wheat flour. This bread recipe was a win! Came together in less than 5 hours. No more planning ahead and preparing a bread that could be eaten tomorrow.

Can you make a Dutch oven no knead bread faster than the original recipe? Leaving the dough to rest and rise overnight requires a lot of time and planning.

In fact you can make this bread in under 5 hours from start to finish. Today I’m sharing my findings with you. Quite a few people have been asking me for a quicker no knead bread during this times.

Quick Dutch Oven Bread

This is a wet dough, produced by approximately 400 grams of flour, 8 grams of salt, 1 gram of instant yeast and 300 grams water.

An old bread making method, described in some books, but it gained a lot of popularity in 2006, when new York Times food columnist Mark Bittman described Jim Lahey’s recipe. This bread has great crumb, nice crust and incredible flavor, it has become very popular and definitely changed the culinary culture all over the world.

Quick

Baking is a skill. You do need practice and patience to build this skill. Most of the things you try to make, won’t turn exactly the way you expected them to. This is why, everyone needs to be aware that baking the perfect load of No Knead Dutch Oven Bread may require a few tries, but the recipe is a lot more forgiving than other bread recipes.

You do need some yeast in order for the bread to rise and develop those bubbles, that in the end create its amazing texture.

Wondering what king of yeast to use and how much? Use dry yeast. For the Original Dutch Oven No Knead recipe, I’d say use either Active Dry (needs to be proofed) or Instant Dry Yeast (added directly to the flour). But for this “quick” recipe, I used Instant yeast, to speed things up. I also used 7 gramp (1 pack) of Instant yeast, more than the original recipe.

This no knead bread can be made with all-purpose flour only. No need to use bread flour. But in case you decide to, keep in mind that is will require an additional 1/4 to 1/3 cups more water.

No Knead Bread (dutch Oven Bread)

Always sift the flour for bread recipes – at least once. This ensures there are no lumps and the bread rises perfectly.

While you can make the traditional (Jim Lahey’s) recipe works with even cooler water, since we want the bread to rise faster, I suggest that you use water with temperature 110-115 F (not hotter or cooler).

You first combine all ingredients, stir until combined and a ball is formed and then cover and let it rise until it doubles its size and becomes bubbly.

Then you transfer it to a floured surface and gather into a ball. Now you can stretch and fold the dough if you’d like. Then shape a ball, transfer to a bowl, cover and let it rise for 30 more minutes. It may not rise much, but this is fine.

Yes, while scoring the dough is not mandatory with this bread, I prefer doing it. Scoring is usually done before loading the bread into the oven. It is basically slashing the shaped bread dough with a blade or a sharp knife to allow it to expand during baking. It is done to control the direction in which the bread will expand during “oven spring.

Without scoring, I’ve had a couple of occasions when my no knead Dutch oven bread does not rise properly while baking (usually in a very large Dutch ovens) and while the texture and taste of the bread are amazing, the bread looked quite flat and spread.

I used a little bit of sweetener in the recipe – either white sugar or honey will do it. This will help the yeast grow faster.

Add salt, instant dry yeast (no need to proof it), sugar and olive oil. Pour the warm water on top and stir until just combined. Cover with plastic wrap and wrap the bowl with a towel to keep it warm.

If you have a proofing oven you can use this option, just don’t go over 100 F. If not, place a wide pan filled
