Easy No-Knead Bread

 

This is the easiest yeasted bread that I have ever made. It comes out with a nice crust and a soft airy center. This is the perfect bread to have alongside salads, soups, and stews. It does take a little planning, as you mix the ingredients and then leave the dough to sit for anywhere between 8-24 hours. You also need a deep oven-safe dish that has a lid (if you don't have one then you could try to use a deep oven-safe dish and cover it with foil).

Easy No-Knead Bread

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups warm water

2 tsp sugar

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp active dry yeast

3 cups flour

Directions:

Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.

Mix the water, sugar, salt, and yeast in a bowl and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Then, add the three cups of flour and mix to combine. Then, cover the bowl with a damp cloth and leave the dough to sit for 8-24 hours. When you are ready to bake the bread. Line your baking dish with parchment paper, punch down the dough and form it into a ball. Let the dough rest for about 30 minutes and then put it in the baking dish. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes total. The first 30 minutes bake with the lid on the baking dish and then uncover for the last 15 minutes. Let the bread cool and enjoy!
