Oh, the smell of fresh homemade bread baking in the oven. Nothing like it. Imagine that cup of coffee and the warm, delicious bread with butter melting over the slice just sitting on the plate waiting for you to enjoy it.
But running to the bakery just doesn’t fit into your schedule and making it from scratch is well, way too hard. Right? Wrong!
The Chef from the cookware manufacturer, Le Creuset, shared this delicious recipe with me. It is so easy to make. Plus, once you make it the way the recipe says the first time, you will find yourself being creative and adding herbs, seasonings or fruit like rosemary, basil, garlic, tarragon, cheese, cinnamon, or raisins to your next batch.
Le Creuset Bread Oven Review
If you are not already familiar with Le Creuset cookware, you should check it out. Made in France, Le Creuset has been around for more than 85 years. They are known for their colorful, cast iron Dutch ovens with the white enameled interiors. The beauty of working with cast iron pieces is the metal’s ability to retain heat to allow for long, slow, even cooking. This is particularly good when braising meat, slow-cooking a casserole, bean dishes or dense sauces. But, it is also great for baking bread due to the heat distribution. The cookware works well on all heat sources including induction and can go from stovetop to oven to table where it will keep the food warm due to the cast iron center.
If you are fortunate enough to have a Le Creuset Dutch oven, try your hand at making homemade bread. If you don’t have one (yet), any heavy bottomed, aluminum stockpot will work. Your kitchen will smell amazing!
Note: I made this in a large oven that is almost 9 quarts (thus the small size of bread in the picture). You could use a 5 1/2 quart oven and should be fine with measurements in recipe.

Le Creuset can be found in many kitchen and department stores as well as online. There are also outlet stores should you have the opportunity to visit one. Try signing up for their email list to be notified of special promotions and/or sales. Be aware that colors may have exclusivity to specific retailers should you be looking for one particular one.

I cannot think of a time when I would turn down a slice (or two) of warm homemade bread fresh from the oven (like this homemade french bread – yum). However, I know that some people are intimidated by the idea of making their own bread.

Artisan Bread Recipe
Like I said above, if you’ve been dying to make bread from scratch, THIS is your recipe! It looks like a beautiful loaf of artisan bread from a high-end bakery, but takes minimal time, effort and ingredients!
5 minutes of active prep time! There is no kneading, no waiting for the perfect rise (twice), and no exhaustive list of instructions to follow.
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.
Baking Bread In A Le Creuset Dutch Oven
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.
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.
Le Creuset Bread Oven: Editor Review
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.
Easy Recipes You Can Make In A Dutch Oven
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!
Plus, the leftovers make great sandwiches like egg salad sandwiches or chicken salad sandwiches! Some of our favorite recipes to enjoy with this artisan bread:
