Say hello to artisan-style bread without the effort! Our "Bread Everyday No Knead Boule" is the ultimate recipe for anyone craving bakery-quality bread made at home. With just four simple ingredients—flour, salt, yeast, and warm water—you'll create a golden, crusty boule that's irresistibly soft and airy on the inside. This no-knead bread requires minimal hands-on time, relying on an overnight rise to develop its flavor and texture. Baked to perfection in a preheated Dutch oven, it boasts a rustic, crackly crust that's as satisfying to hear as it is to eat. Perfect for beginners and seasoned bakers alike, this low-maintenance recipe delivers big rewards with little effort. Serve it with soups, salads, or as an indulgent base for your favorite spreads. Your kitchen will smell like heaven, and your taste buds will thank you!
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and instant yeast until evenly combined.
Gradually pour the warm water into the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until a shaggy dough forms. The dough will be sticky and wet.
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and allow the dough to rise at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours. The dough should double in size and appear bubbly on the surface.
After the initial rise, lightly flour a clean work surface and your hands. Gently turn the dough out onto the floured surface and shape it into a rough ball. Avoid kneading the dough to preserve its airiness.
Line a medium-sized mixing bowl with a clean kitchen towel and generously flour the towel to prevent sticking. Place the dough seam-side down into the bowl, cover, and let it rest for 1 to 2 hours or until almost doubled.
About 30 minutes before baking, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a Dutch oven (with its lid) inside to heat.
Once the oven and Dutch oven are preheated, carefully remove the hot Dutch oven and its lid. Using the edges of the towel, gently lift the dough and place it into the Dutch oven, seam-side up. If desired, make a shallow slash in the top of the dough for decoration.
Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and bake for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the crust is deeply golden and crisp.
Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy your freshly baked boule!
