Bake bakery-style artisan bread at home with this simple, no-knead recipe. You achieve a wonderfully crusty exterior and a soft interior using just four basic ingredients. This recipe is perfect for beginner bread baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Instant Yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups Cool Water
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Coarse Sea Salt, for topping

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and instant yeast.
  2. Add the cool water and the chopped fresh rosemary to the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon until just combined into a shaggy dough. Do not overmix or knead.
  3. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let the dough rest at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours. The dough will become bubbly and increase in volume.
  4. About 30 minutes before baking, place a 5 to 6-quart Dutch oven, with its lid, into your oven. Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).
  5. Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven. Gently scrape the dough out of the bowl onto a piece of parchment paper. The dough will be sticky.
  6. Using the parchment paper as a sling, carefully lower the dough into the hot Dutch oven. Sprinkle the top of the dough with the coarse sea salt.
  7. Cover the Dutch oven with the lid and return it to the oven. Bake for 30 minutes.
  8. Remove the lid and continue baking for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crust is deep golden brown.
  9. Carefully remove the bread from the Dutch oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  • Using cool water helps control the long fermentation, which develops the flavor.
  • If you do not have a Dutch oven, you can bake this on a baking stone, but place a pan of hot water on the bottom rack to create steam for a crispier crust.
  • This recipe uses the four-ingredient method for simple artisan loaf success.
