No-Knead Artisan Bread

The photo you shared shows a beautifully risen dough and a rustic artisan-style bread — likely a no-knead bread recipe. Here’s a classic, simple recipe that matches what you see:

No-Knead Artisan Bread

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
  • 1½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp instant or active dry yeast
  • 1½ cups (360ml) warm water

Instructions:

  1. Mix the dough (night before):
    In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and yeast. Add warm water and stir until a shaggy, sticky dough forms. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a towel.
  2. Let it rise (overnight):
    Let the dough rest at room temperature for 12–18 hours, until it’s bubbly and doubled (like the one in your photo).
  3. Shape the dough:
    Flour your hands and surface, turn the dough out gently, and fold it into a round. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven:
    Place a Dutch oven or heavy pot with lid in the oven and preheat to 450°F (230°C) for 30 minutes.
  5. Bake the bread:
    Carefully place the dough into the hot pot (use parchment if needed), cover with lid, and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove the lid and bake another 10–15 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Cool on a wire rack before slicing to finish that crusty texture.

This method gives you that gorgeous crackly crust and chewy interior you see in your photo. Would you like a version with herbs, cheese, or whole wheat?
