No Knead Bread Without Dutch Oven Recipe

Combine yeast, warm water and sugar in the bowl of your stand mixer. Let sit for about 5 minutes for yeast activation.

Add half of the flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Fit your mixer with dough hook and begin to knead over medium-low speed. Add remaining flour and continue to knead until dough just comes together. Dough will be sticky at this point.

Transfer dough to a lightly floured bowl and cover with a clean towel. Let dough rise for 2 hours. Transfer dough to a generously floured piece of parchment paper or cutting board and gently form dough into a smooth ball. Sprinkle top of dough with more flour, then cover with a large bowl (like a dome) and let rise for another 30 minutes.
