🍞 Easiest No-Knead Bread (4 Ingredients)
🧾 Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon dry yeast
1½ cups warm water
👨🍳 Instructions:
Mix everything
In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and yeast.
Add warm water and mix with a spoon until a sticky dough forms (no kneading needed!).
Let it rise
Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap.
Let it rest at room temperature for 8–12 hours (overnight is perfect).
Shape the dough
Sprinkle some flour on your surface.
Gently shape the dough into a ball (don’t overwork it).
Second rest
Let it rest for 30–60 minutes while your oven heats.
Bake
Preheat oven to 220°C (430°F).
Place dough in a baking pan or on a tray.
Bake for 30–40 minutes until golden brown.
🔥 Tips:
Put a small dish of water in the oven to create steam → gives a crispy crust
Add herbs, garlic, or olives for extra flavor
If you have a covered pot (like a Dutch oven), bake inside it for bakery-style bread
✅ Result:
Crispy outside 🥖
Soft, airy inside
Costs almost nothing 💰
