How to Bake Almost No Knead Bread

Almost No Knead Bread is a simple and delicious way to bake bread without the fuss and hassle of traditional bread-making techniques. Here's how to bake Almost No Knead Bread:

Ingredients:

- 3 cups all-purpose flour - 1/4 tsp instant yeast - 1 1/2 tsp salt - 1 1/2 cups warm water

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Mix well.

2. Add the warm water to the bowl and stir until the dough comes together. The dough will be sticky and shaggy.

3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest at room temperature for at least 12 hours, or up to 24 hours. During this time, the dough will rise and develop flavor.

4. After the resting period, preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a Dutch oven with the lid on in the oven to preheat for 30 minutes.

5. While the Dutch oven is preheating, dust a clean work surface with flour. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and shape it into a round loaf. Dust the top of the dough with flour.

6. When the Dutch oven is preheated, carefully remove the lid and place the shaped dough into the hot Dutch oven. Replace the lid and bake for 30 minutes.

7. After 30 minutes, remove the lid from the Dutch oven and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crusty.

8. Remove the bread from the Dutch oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

That's it! With just a few simple ingredients and some patience, you can bake delicious Almost No Knead Bread at home. Enjoy!
