Back in 2006, a recipe for No-Knead Artisan Bread by a guy named Jim Lahey was published in the NY Times and it changed everything.

How To Make No Knead Bread

It gave beginner bread-makers and home bakers and all those in between the chance to break free of the kneading and the special equipment and the hands-on time investment it takes to bake bread from scratch at home.

This recipe for Dutch Oven is based on that concept. It gives you the opportunity to bake delicious, homemade bread in your very own home kitchen without much ado.

Using only the very best in flour from Bob’s Red Mill plus the base recipe from Bake From Scratch, I created my own version of this crusty, rustic bread using cheddar and everything bagel seasoning. And it’s heavenly.

Sweet Potato Dutch Oven Bread

Luckily, making Dutch oven bread is pretty simple, as far as bread-making goes. Very little hands-on time required, virtually no kneading, and I bet you have the majority of the ingredients in your pantry already.

Let’s get started! Add both flours, salt and yeast to a large bowl and whisk together. Then add in the shredded cheese and everything bagel seasoning.

Stream in the water while mixing to form a sticky dough using a stand mixer or with a wooden spoon. That’s your dough!

Allow this to rest/proof at room temperature for 1 ½ - 2 hours then place in the fridge overnight to develop more flavor and gluten. The cold dough is easier to shape, too, which is what comes next.

On a clean work surface (I use a very large wood cutting board or my clean countertop) coated with flour, press the dough into an oval shape about 1 inch thick.

Then, grab the bottom edge and gently stretch and fold bottom third over to the center (like you’re folding a piece of paper to fit into an envelope).

Finish by folding the top third of the dough over the previous folds. Then, roll the loaf away from you, and using both hands, cup dough and pull it toward you to seal.

Turn the dough 90 degrees and pull again, repeating the process until a tight, smooth ball (boule) forms. If needed, pinch the seam on the bottom of the loaf to seal.

Place the dough, seam side up, in a banneton (proofing basket) dusted with rice flour or a medium bowl lined with a kitchen towel that’s been heavily dusted with rice flour.

Quick Dutch Oven Bread

Loosely cover the dough with a clean dish towel, and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F / 24°C) until puffed, 1 to 1½ hours.

Now you’re almost ready to bake! Place your empty Dutch oven with the lid on inside your oven and preheat the oven to 500ºF (260ºC) for at least 30 minutes.

No

Turn your dough out of the banneton or bowl onto a floured piece of parchment paper. Be sure the parchment paper is long enough for you to grab onto the sides and lift the bread to place gently into the hot Dutch Oven.

No Knead Bread (dutch Oven Bread)

Place the lid back on and into the oven for 25 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for another 25-30 minutes. The top of the bread should be a dark brown and the internal temperature of the bread should be at least 200ºF (93ºC).

Remove the bread carefully from the Dutch oven using the parchment paper overhang. And allow it to cool for at least 2 hours on a wire rack.

As tempting as it may be to slice into the bread while it’s hot, allowing the bread to cool will allow the bread to achieve the light and airy texture it’s intended to have.

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.

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 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
