This easy no-knead bread recipe yields warm, homemade bread without the hassle.

Ingredients

3 cups bread flour

1 ½ teaspoons salt

½ teaspoon instant yeast

1 ½ cups lukewarm water

Method

Add the flour to a large mixing bowl, along with the salt and instant yeast.

Mix in the lukewarm water, scraping down the flour from the sides of the bowl until everything is combined. (The dough will be sticky.)

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise at room temperature for 8 hours minimum, but ideally up to 24 hours, especially if the ambient temperature is cold.

When you're ready to bake the dough, preheat the oven to 400 F.

Place a lidded cast iron Dutch oven to heat in the oven as you prepare the dough.

The dough will have risen quite significantly and be full of bubbles. Turn it out onto lightly floured parchment paper and gently pull the sides in to shape it into a ball.

Dust the dough with some more flour and set it to the side.

Carefully remove the Dutch oven from the heat and transfer the parchment paper and dough into the pot. Using a knife or scissors, cut a cross on the top surface of the dough.

Place the lid on the pot and transfer it back to the oven to bake for 30 minutes.

Remove the lid and bake the bread for another 30 minutes until the top has become crusty and brown.

Let the bread cool for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
