We just experienced Snowmageddon here in Charleston, SC. It snowed FIVE INCHES here in a day earlierthis week. I knowthat seems like nothing to a lot of you, but think about this — the last time it snowed that much here was 1989.
Roads and bridges and schools and offices are closed because our city doesn’t have any infrastructure or equipment like plows and salt to actually deal with snow and ice.

So the big joke is when there’s supposed to be even half an inch of snow everyone runs to the store for bread and milk (you know, for their… milk sandwiches?). But what if you didn’t get to the store before the whole city shut down?
Okay, just kidding. I didn’t make this bread because of Snowmageddon. Ihave been wanting to try making crustyno-knead Dutch oven bread ever since my husband got me this Dutch Oven a year ago for Christmas. And I wanted to make it to go with this beef stew because it’s freaking cold and that sounded like an amazingly cozy meal.
There are a lot of recipes out there for no-knead Dutch oven bread, but I used this one from Just a Little Bit of Baconbecause I always want to infuse things with even more flavor, like fresh rosemary and olive oil. I also used thyme in mine because my little rosemary plant just didn’t have enough leaves and I had extra thyme from making the beef stew.

And I love that this recipe replaces some of the water in the dough for olive oil. I think it adds a great flavor to the bread, especially if you use a robustly-flavored extra virgin olive oil.
I was a little nervous about heating an empty Dutch oven at such a high temperature and setting my house on fire or something while the roads are icy and fire trucks might have trouble getting to me. Yes, I am a little crazy like that.
Full disclosure: yes, I did set off my fire alarm when I took the preheated Dutch oven out of the oven. But a little wave of a cutting board in front of the smoke detector and that was the biggest drama of the day. Totally worth it.

Just be sure you have a large, heavy pot with a lid that can withstand being heated to 500 degrees. This is the one I havebut you certainly don’t need a Le Crueset one.
I did a double take and cross-checked like three other similar recipes when I saw that this no-knead Dutch oven bread recipe only called for half a teaspoon of yeast.
Now, Ihaven’t made a ton of things with yeast, but most of the ones I have made call for a whole packet of yeast, which is about 2 and 1/4 teaspoons.

But since this bread has an extremely longrise time (10-12 hours!!) it can start with a small amount of yeast and be fine! You can even let it rise for 18 hours, which I may try next time, since that would allow me to put together the dough one night and bakeit for dinner the next.
The long fermentation time also forms the long, elastic gluten strands, typically formed by kneading, that give the bread its texture (thanks, Wikipedia!)
If you’ve got a cast ironDutch oven, not only does it hold heat really well, but the temperature inside a preheated one is also very consistent throughout its small space. And your dough gets the same direct heat experience of itsowntiny little bread oven.

More importantly, baking your bread dough in a tiny lidded oven prevents the steam from your dough from immediately going out into your dry oven (which vents out steam).
When the dough hits the heat of the oven, the yeast starts expanding rapidly, even MORE than it did during your rise time. But if the steam goes out too quickly, the crust will set before the bread has a chance to fully expand. The steam captured in the Dutch oven gives your bread more time to expand and rise beautifully, and any slashes you make in the dough before putting it in will open up to create beautiful patterns.
And after most of the steam is reabsorbed into your still-rising bread dough, it begins to create the crust, which you finish crisping up at maximum heat and evaporation by removing the lid of the Dutch oven.

The crust is crispy and shatters into glorious little bread shards, and the inside is soft, fluffy, and airy. The perfect accompaniment for stew, or the truffle olive oil we got in Italy.

No! This could cause oil to polymerize onto the surface of the Dutch oven, which is harmless but doesn’t look nice. Always place the bread directly in the dry oven or on a piece of parchment paper.
You should start baking with the lid on to trap moisture and help get a good rise, then remove the lid towards the end of baking to help get a crisp crust.

The loaf should be nice and browned on top and the crust should look crisp. If you gently tap on the bottom of the loaf with your finger, it should sound hollow. The proper internal temperature for baked bread is 195-210°F.
Hard bread can be the result of too little moisture, too much rise time, or baking in too hot of temperatures or for too long. Make sure to measure your flour using the spoon-and-level method to avoid adding too much, and check your oven temperature with a thermometer to ensure it is correct.
If your bread is gummy and dense, check your oven temperature. Gummy bread is usually the result of the crust forming before the bread inside has had a chance to fully expand. Turn down the oven temperature if needed!
