No Knead Bread (Four Ingredient)

By: Amber Grangroth

No Knead Bread is the absolute easiest bread to make. It is baked in a preheated Dutch oven or casserole dish with a lid to create a perfectly crunchy outside and soft chewy inside. No Knead Bread is an artisan bread that is similar to the Dutch Oven Sourdough but uses yeast and is a thousand times more simple. You can’t mess it up.

This bread is so delicious and gives the illusion that you worked really hard to make it, when the hands-on time is actually only a few minutes. You can make it for your friends and family and they will surely be impressed! It’s that good and that easy!

Simply add flour, salt, and yeast to a large bowl and stir to combine. Pour warm water over the top, and mix to form a shaggy dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and forget about it until the next day. That’s the longest part. Waiting…

No Knead Bread is delicious as a sandwich, or spread with butter alongside eggs, soup, stew, or salad. Mix this together and have fresh bread tomorrow or every day!
