100% Whole Wheat Dutch Oven Bread Recipe 4 Ingredients No Knead Beginner Bread Cheap Easy #recipe

Grind fresh wheat to make whole wheat flour.

Store the freshly ground flour in a container.

In a bowl, combine 3 cups of whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of active dry yeast.

Mix the dry ingredients together with a spatula.

Pour in 1 1/2 cups of hot water (105-110°F) into the dry mixture.

Stir the mixture with a rubber spatula until all the flour is incorporated, creating a shaggy dough.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap to prevent drying out during rising.

Let the dough rise on the counter for 2 to 10 hours, depending on your schedule.

After about 4 hours, check the dough; it should have doubled in size but not be super fluffy.

Prepare a clean countertop with a little flour.

Gently pull the dough onto the floured countertop without pressing it down or kneading it.

Using a dough cutting tool or spatula, flip the dough over on itself to shape it into a round ball.

Transfer the shaped dough onto parchment paper.

Place the dough in a bowl to rise for another 20 to 30 minutes, or longer if needed.

Preheat the oven with a cast iron Dutch oven inside.

Once preheated, carefully place the dough (still on parchment paper) into the Dutch oven.

Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and bake the bread.
