3 Ingredient No Knead Bread WITHOUT a Dutch oven | Easy Bread Recipe

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

Whole wheat flour is more nutritious.

yeast

💰Cheaper: baking powder

Baking powder can be a cheaper leavening agent.

In a bowl, mix water, salt, and instant yeast.

Add all-purpose flour and mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Cover the bowl and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Wet your hand and stretch one corner of the dough over to the opposite side, repeating for another three corners.

Cover the bowl and let it rest for another 30 minutes.

Perform another four stretches and folds.

Switch to coil folding: lift the dough from the middle and tuck the edges underneath to create tension.

Cover and let it rest for another 30 minutes, then repeat the coil fold process one more time.

Lightly brush a baking tray with olive oil and dust with flour.

Place the dough onto the baking tray and cut a slit down the middle.

Cover the dough with an oven-proof lid (like a tall cheesecake pan).

Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the lid and continue baking until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes more.

Let the bread cool for at least 1 hour on a cooling rack before slicing.
