I've spent the last few days trying out lots of versions of Dutch Oven bread, and let me tell you, the results are tasty! I've got recipes for a kneaded Dutch oven bread, and one that requires no kneading at all. Both are very easy and could pass as a loaf from an artisan bakery with no problem. I also tried them with bread flour, all-purpose flour, and whole wheat flour. All in all, we enjoyed each of the loaves, but our favorite was the no-knead made with bread flour. I found that the texture of the bread on the no-knead method was lighter and less dense on the interior, while maintaining a perfectly crusty exterior which Hubby and I preferred. All you need now is a little olive oil and some herbs for dipping!
Note: You do not need to oil the pot if you are baking on parchment paper. I have tried it without parchment paper, and instead oiled the pot, but found the bottom crust to be too dark/crunchy/oily for my taste. The texture was far superior when only parchment paper was used.
**Also, check to make sure the knob on the lid of your Dutch Oven is safe for use at 450 degrees. If you're not sure, just unscrew the knob during baking. (Metal knobs and handles are fine.There is one specific type of handle from Le Creuset that is not recommended at this high of heat. There is more info available on their website.

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 4 Seed Dutch Oven Bread
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.
No Knead Artisan 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.
Crusty No Knead Dutch Oven Bread Recipe
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.
Dutch Oven No Knead Herb Bread — Green Kitchen Stories
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!
No Knead Bread (dutch Oven Bread)
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.
No Knead Bread Recipe In Less Than 5 Minutes A Day
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.
Here’s my favorite part! This is how to make the sticky mess of a dough into a loaf without having to touch it with your hands.
At this point, before putting it in the Dutch oven, you can use a very sharp knife or clean razor blade to make a few cuts about 1/2″ deep in the top of the loaf. I did this with mine in a cross shape from end to end in both directions. This will help it rise up a little more in the oven and get some browner crustier bits. But it’s totally optional.

Once you have the loaf shape in the center of your parchment, open your oven door and take the lid off the Dutch oven
Then, grab the sides of the parchment paper and transfer the loaf to the Dutch oven. Place the cover BACK ON (USING POTHOLDERS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD), and bake at 450 degrees for about 35 minutes.
I know I keep yelling about potholders but too often I’ve reached absentmindedly for the lid of a Dutch oven thinking it’s going to be cool but it’s searing hot. It’s easy to make that mistake!
Dutch Oven Bread {no Knead!}
Finally, remove the bread by holding the parchment paper, and place on a wire rack or a cutting board to cool. You want it to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
The key to moist bread with a perfectly crusty crust is that it needs to be baked in a humid environment. I know it seams counter-intuitive, but it really works.
Then, taking the lid off for the last bit of cooking helps really brown the top of the loaf without it over-drying.
Make No Knead Bread Without A Dutch Oven
To make without a Dutch oven, but you won’t get the same amazingly crusty results. Don’t let that stop you- just temper your expectations a bit.
You can bake the bread, on parchment paper since the dough is so sticky, on a baking sheet or, preferably, in a preheated cast iron skillet.
Create a humid environment in your oven by placing a rimmed baking sheet on the bottom rack
