No knead bread

This is roughly the no knead bread from mark bittmans "how to cook everything" cookbook.

And, it's unbelively simple and delicious.


3 cups of flour
1.5 tsp. salt
2.25 tsp yeast (one packet)
1.5 cups water

Combine flour, salt, and yeast. Add water and mix until flour is incorporated and a sticky dough forms. Cover it and let is rise for at least 4 hours (overnight or 24 hours have worked fine.

Heat oven to 450 and put in a dutch oven to heat.

Turn the dough out ontomtoma lightly floured surface. Fold it onto itself a few times (just 30 seconds or so). Recover and let rise for 30 minutes.

Lightly coat dough with olive oil and place in the Dutch oven with the seam side up.

Put the Dutch oven back in the oven. Bake for 30 min. Remove the top and bake for another 5-10 min until the loaf is browned.
