If you’re looking to make a crispy artisanal loaf of bread in your home oven you should try this Quick Dutch Oven Bread recipe! It comes together quickly in a stand mixer and bakes up in under an hour. The end result is a rustic loaf of bread perfect for serving with soups or stews.
This IS the Dutch Oven Bread you’ve been looking for! Crispy exterior, soft tender interior, perfect for buttering and it’s quick. No 24-hour rise on a “no knead loaf” here.
Dutch Oven Bread Recipe: How To Make It
NO! You just need a heavy cast iron pot with a lid that can withstand the 450˚ heat of the oven. You can use any 5-6 inch deep cast iron pan.
We have a Dutch Oven that doesn’t have an ovenproof knob so when we want to bake this bread we have to take off the handle and plug the hole with foil. So we use this braiser.
There are plenty of no-knead recipes such as this Mark Bittman’s No Knead Bread Recipe out there but this isn’t one of them. This is a KNEADED dough and that’s what makes it quick. No letting it sit and folding the dough over and hoping it makes great bread.
Homemade Dutch Oven Bread: Kneaded And No Knead Methods
You knead, let it rise, punch it down, shape it, put your dutch oven in to heat, let it proof, and bake it up.
Now when we say quick, we mean about 3 hours total from measuring the flour to pulling it out of the oven. But really it depends on the temperature of your house. Our house in Alaska is usually cooler so it takes longer to double in size, your house in a warmer area may not take as long.
What if you want to prove or rise quickly? You can do a lot of different things to get your bread to rise better. It just takes a little ingenuity. Here’s a few hacks for you to try:
Easy Dutch Oven Crusty Bread Recipe
Anytime you use a heat source to speed up the rise be sure to keep an eye on your dough so it doesn’t bubble up and out of the bowl. OR overprove and collapse.
When you overprove bread dough it will not form a loaf correctly. It won’t be able to hold its shape, and it make a flatter loaf.
If you’re not in a hurry to have this bread as fast as possible let it slowly rise. A long slow rise will build flavor in your bread. And sometimes making the dough with cool water like this Ciabatta Bread Recipe will really make the flavor exceptional!
World's Easiest Yeast Bread Recipe
It will not be like sourdough though! If you HAVE a sourdough starter and you want to make bread with it try this sourdough cheese bread recipe, it’s full of cheese and jalapeños!
Yes, you can absolutely make bread even IF you don’t have bread flour. Bread flour has wheat that has a higher gluten content so it’s a little more structurally sound. If you DON’T have bread flour it’s going to be just fine. I test all my recipes with All-Purpose Flour (AP Flour) to make sure they will work for you.
As a mom of teen boys I know buying bread flour in bulk can be hard to do, whether its availability OR price that makes it hard. So I make sure that if anyone needs (KNEADS) to use AP flour, they’ll be just fine to do so.
Fast And Easy No Knead Bread
You can ALSO make your own bread flour out of AP flour. Simply measure out your flour, for every cup remove 1.5 teaspoons of flour and add in 1.5 teaspoons of vital wheat gluten.
*if you’re using active dry yeast just stir it into the first cup of water and let it soften up a bit, then pour it in as directed about, add the 1/2 cup of water after the dough starts to form

It takes only FIVE MINUTES of prep, and you don’t have to ever touch the sticky dough with your hands! With a short, two-hour total rise time, you can make this for dinner tonight.
I’m a good cook. I mean, I’m allowed to brag about that… I’ve built a career out of it with this website. But until now, I’ve had the HARDEST time making a good homemade bread.
Am I alone in this? Homemade bread has always eluded me and been a real challenge. My homemade breads have always been too flat, too dry, too hard, too annoying and sticky to work with, etc.
No Knead Artisan Bread (just 4 Ingredients!)
YOU GUYS. I finally cracked the code for homemade bread that isn’t a hassle and is so amazingly delicious, moist, with fluffy holes, and with the perfect crusty crust!
This is the only no knead bread recipe you’ll need, and it’s great for beginner bread bakers. The Dutch oven is key for developing a perfect crusty crust and keeping the inside perfectly moist, and best of all, you don’t EVER have to touch the super sticky dough with your hands!
You can let this dough rise for only 2 hours and bake it right away, OR you can keep the dough in your fridge for up to 7 days and use when you want to. Unlike other no-knead bread recipes that require 12 hours minimum rise time.
Vegan Garlic Rosemary Bread
No knead bread is, as the name suggests, bread that can be made without kneading the dough. No need to knead. Hah!
No knead bread loafs do not need a second rise time, like a traditional loaf. The bread doesn’t have enough structure to rise “up, ” and instead will flatten out and fill the shape of whatever you are making
The lack of a second rise results in two things: first, a faster overall time to make. And the second: it won’t have as many holes as a kneaded bread dough.
Rosemary Thyme No Knead Dutch Oven Bread
While I love a good fluffy artisan bread with holes for days, I think the pros here outweigh the cons. The bread DOES have some good holes, it’s got a great texture, and the fact that it’s so easy and hassle free is enough to make me never want to make a kneaded artisan loaf again!
I like to use a silicone spatula to scrape the dough off the wooden spoon, as it will be quite sticky and loose.
Once the dough is mixed, just cover it with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm-ish spot for two or three hours. It should double in size at least.
Quick No Knead Bread In Dutch Oven
If your house is cold, I recommend turning your oven on for a few seconds, turning it off, and placing the bowl in the warm oven with the door closed to trap the heat in.
You can also get some really hot water in a mug or glass measuring cup, stick it in the microwave, and place the bowl next to it. Shut the door to the microwave- this will trap the warmth and steam inside.
After the dough has risen for 2 hours, you can bake it immediately. But if you like, you can stick it in your refrigerator for up to 7 days until you’re ready to bake it!
Crusty No Knead Dutch Oven Bread Recipe
I recommend using plastic wrap or something more airtight to cover the bowl when you put it in the fridge. If you know you are making this dough days in advance, you can mix it up in a container, keep the lid on ajar while it’s rising and then seal the lid when you put it in the fridge.
The taste will get funkier as time goes on- by the 7th day, the bread will taste more like sourdough. And the dough will collapse over time- don’t worry about this.
You want your Dutch oven to be good and hot for baking the bread so it gets a chance to crisp up properly on the outside.
Jalapeno Cheddar Dutch Oven Bread (no Knead!)
About 30 minutes to an hour before you want to bake the bread, place the Dutch Oven, with the lid on, on the center rack of your oven and turn your oven on to 450 degrees F. Once it reaches 450, keep preheating the Dutch Oven for about 20 minutes.
