My Mom's SUPER SIMPLE 4-Ingredient No Knead Bread
By Tiffy Cooks
My mom makes this No Knead Bread recipe for us all the time and I swear it's better than any store bought bread! Today, I made 2 types of toppings: Olive, and Sundried Tomatoes with Cheese, but you can add ANY topping you'd like!
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups water room temperature
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon active dry yeast
- Toppings Of Your Choice
Instructions
- In an airtight container, mix together flour, salt, and yeast.
- Slowly pour in water while mixing until the dough becomes sticky.
- Close the lid and let the dough rest overnight at room temperature.
- Flour a clean working surface and dump out the dough.
- Stretch the dough into a flat rectangular shape.
- Add whatever toppings you would like.
- Fold the top and bottom of the dough to the middle, forming a long log, pinch everything closed.
- Fold the right side of the dough to the middle then fold the left into the middle.
- Pinch everything closed and lightly form the dough into a ball.
- Transfer the dough onto a baking sheet then transfer into a cast iron and place in the oven without turning it on for at least 1 hour.
- Remove the dough with the baking sheet from the cast iron, then preheat the oven to 490F with the cast iron with the lid on.
- Once the oven is at 490F, place the dough with the baking sheet into the cast iron and bake at 490F with the lid on for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, remove the lid and bake for another 10 minutes. You can add more toppings during this step.
- Remove from the cast iron and let it rest for 20 minutes before cutting.
Notes
You can use any toppings you'd like. Today I used:
- Olives
- Sundried Tomatoes and Shredded Cheese
