If you’re a first-time bread-baker, this recipe is for you. This Overnight No-Knead Bread is a basic loaf that doesn’t require kneading nor does it include a sourdough starter. The yeast-base dough is simply stirred together and rests overnight on your counter top to slowly ferment, rise and develop flavors. Baked the next day in a sizzling skillet, the bread grows into a crusty bakery-style loaf with a flavorful airy crumb. Trust me, it will not disappoint!
Now I know making bread at home can be intimidating. So, if you are a new to the process, I have put together below a list of the ingredients and recommended equipment you need to make this Overnight No-Knead Bread.
Why using a combination of all-purpose flour and whole-wheat flour? What is instant yeast? Which baking vessel should I use? What is a Banneton…? Read through my explanations and helpful tips, and get ready to make this practically fool-proof bread.

Unbleached all-purpose flour is best for making cakes and soft breads such as pain de mie or brioche. This type of flour has a low amount of protein, usually around 10%, which isn’t enough to create a crusty bakery-style bread loaf, with an airy crumb.
To do so, we need to add some whole-wheat flour, which contains more protein, about 14% of protein. Adding some whole-wheat flour boosts the amount of gluten and hence makes for a more substantial bread, both in taste and texture. For this recipe, we only need to use 10% of whole-wheat flour. This is enough to give extra support and rise, without compromising the soft texture of the crumb. Adding too much whole-wheat flour (hence, too much gluten) would result in a dense chewy crumb (like bagels).
Instant yeast is dry yeast that has been milled to very fine granules. It helps in leavening breads and creates an airy crumb. In comparison to active dry yeast (milled to bigger granules), instant yeast doesn’t’ need to be dissolved in water before using. It can be mixed right into your dry ingredients, which is very easy.

Instant yeast can be found in most grocery stores, in small packets or in bigger pouches. Fleischmann’s and Saf are two brands I use regularly.
Once open, I like to store my instant yeast in a Tupperware in the freezer. It protects the yeast from oxygen and humidity and makes it last longer.
In bread baking, salt helps the gluten from the flour hold more water and carbon dioxide, creating an airy crumb. You need to use a fine grain salt as it will disperse quickly and evenly into the dry ingredients. A coarse/flaked salt won’t disperse evenly.

Adding lukewarm water to your flour, yeast and salt is the last “ingredient” you need to make bread. It is important to add lukewarm water as it will re-activate the yeast. It is important that you get the temperature right since cold water won’t get that yeast going, and hot water will kill it. Lukewarm water is around 105-115F (40-46C) ; a temperature you would be comfortable washing your hands in.
Remember, making bread from scratch requires more time and commitment than baking a regular cake. This bread dough is likely much looser and stickier than you are used to, and your first loaf may not turn out beautifully. Do not stress it, this is very normal. After two or three attempts, you will master the shaping and dough handling process better, and your loaves will come out looking better and better.
Step 2 - Warm the water in a small sauce pan over medium heat. When just warm (not hot yet), pour the water into the flour mixture and stir well to combine.

Note: Use a wooden spoon or even French rolling pin to combine. Do not knead – just mix until no dry flour is visible. The mixture will be very sticky and will not form into a ball, this is normal.
Step 3 - Cover the bowl tightly with a plastic film and poke 5 tiny holes in the top with a toothpick, to allow the gases to escape.
Step 1 – Remove the plastic film from the bowl, turn the bowl upside down and scrape dough onto an unfloured work surface. Lightly dust the top of the dough with flour and dust the work surface around it as well with flour.

Step 2 – Starting from the right side of the dough, lightly stretch the dough out (to the right) and fold it a little over halfway over the dough. Do the same with the left side. Do the same with the top.
Grab the bottom (still unfolded side), stretch it and pull it over the 3 folded sides of the dough. Flip the dough upside down so the seamless rounded side is now on top.
Step 3 – With both hands circling around the base of the dough ball, roll only the bottom part of the dough around your work surface, allowing the tension to close the bottom of the dough ball. The folds at the bottom should mostly disappear – it is fine if it isn’t completely closed.

Step 4 – Flip the dough into a mixing bowl/banneton lined with a clean dish cloth and cover with another cloth (the almost closed up side should be facing upwards)
Step 5 – Place your cast iron combo cooker (or Dutch Oven) into your oven and preheat the oven to 500F (260C) degrees.
Once the oven is pre-heated - working quickly and safely, remove the cast iron combo from the oven and place on your stove top. Quickly flip your dough into the center of the cast iron and score a square into the top of the dough with a blade/very sharp knife.

Step 6 – Cover and place the cast iron into the oven and turn down the temperature to 450F (232C) degrees for 25min. After 25min, remove the lid and bake for another 15-20min at 450F (232C) degrees. When a dark golden color appears, remove bread from the oven and cast iron and place on a cooling rack.
Bonjour ! I'm Audrey Le Goff, a French cookery writer, photographer, creator of the blog Pardon your French, and cookbook author of Rustic French Cooking Made Easy.
Let’s bring French flavors to your kitchen! I share uncomplicated and classic recipes, lesser-known regional dishes and a few modern takes. Making French cooking easy, approachable and cliché-free is my priority.Recently on Instagram I asked my followers what types of things they (you) would liked to learn how to do this year. Things in the kitchen you’ve always wanted to try but never had. There were so many great comments and ideas on there and one that popped up quite a bit was artisan bread. I knew that we definitely needed to start with this recipe for Easy No Knead Overnight Artisan bread because, PEOPLE. Listen up. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A BREAD MASTER TO MAKE THIS.
Ultimate No Knead Overnight Bread
It is quite simply, the easiest, and possibly the most delicious, bread in the world and it requires zero bread making skills. This takes literally 90 seconds to prepare. It only requires 3 ingredients, 1 bowl and a wooden spoon. There is no kneading. You literally dump 3 ingredients in a bowl and the next day have an insanely gorgeous artisan bread loaf with a crazy crackly crust and tender chewy insides and you will just sit there staring at it telling everyone in a 50-foot radius, “I MADE THAT.”
Need for this recipe is a heavy enamel coated Dutch oven. If you don’t have one of these, you can try it in any heavy oven-safe pot with a lid you can find, but I’m telling you right now a heavy Dutch oven is a great investment. It’s a workhorse in the kitchen and you’ll get so much use out of it. It’s the perfect pot for braising Pot Roast, making dishes like my Oven Braised Chicken, Honey Balsamic Drumsticks, cooking soups on the stovetop and more.
There’s no need to spend over $300 on a Le Creuset (I mean, unless you want to?) You can order a Lodge brand for $60 and free Prime shipping. Amazon Basics actually makes one as well now for just over $40. I ordered one to compare and I’ve only used mine once but it seems like a great option. I did notice my Amazon pot said oven safe to 400 (whereas the lodge is safe up to 500 and this particular recipe cooks at 450, just FYI) They both come in a rainbow of gorgeous colors. When recipes refer to cooking in a “Dutch Oven” this is what they’re talking about. Click here to grab a Lodge Brand, and Here to check out Amazon’s brand!
