Easy & Delicious No Knead Crusty Bread
August 17, 2025

This is an easy bread because there is no kneading. The timing is very flexible so if your plans change at the last minute, no worries, it can wait. The dough will be a bit sticky as you dump it in the baking dish but that is ok. Just remember the lid and the dish will be hot as you add the dough. Be sure to use parchment paper, not wax paper.

  • 450 ml warm water
  • 525 g unbleached bread or all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp dry yeast
  • 1.5  tsp salt

Directions:

  • In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, yeast and water
  • Cover and let it rise for 2-10 hours
  • Preheat oven to 425F with a 2 qt glass baking dish lined with parchment paper inside
  • Put dough on parchment paper in preheated dish
  • Bake for 35 minutes with cover
  • Remove cover and bake for 15 more minutes
  • Carefully lift the bread out using the parchment paper and place on wire rack to cool
  • Let cool before serving
