🍞 Legendary No-Knead Artisan Bread (Sourdough Vibes Without the Fuss)

Crispy crust. Airy inside. Zero kneading. Just time and love.

🛒 Ingredients:

• 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour (or bread flour for extra chew)

• 1½ tsp salt

• ½ tsp instant yeast (or active dry yeast)

• 1½ cups (360ml) lukewarm water

• Optional: 1 tsp honey or sugar (helps with browning & flavor)

🥣 Instructions:

1. Mix the dough (takes 5 min):

   • In a big bowl, stir together flour, salt, and yeast.

   • Add water (and optional honey/sugar). Stir until a shaggy, sticky dough forms.

   • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp towel.

   • Let it rest at room temp for 12–18 hours (overnight is best). It’ll bubble and double in size.

2. Shape the dough:

   • Flour your hands and a surface.

   • Gently tip the dough out and fold it over itself a couple of times. Don’t knead.

   • Shape into a round loaf. Let it rest on parchment paper for 30–60 minutes while the oven preheats.

3. Preheat the oven (HOT is key):

   • Preheat to 450°F (232°C).

   • Place a Dutch oven (or heavy pot with a lid) inside to heat for at least 30 min.

4. Bake:

   • Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven.

   • Drop the dough in (on the parchment is fine — saves cleanup).

   • Cover with lid, bake for 30 minutes.

   • Remove lid, bake another 10–15 minutes until golden and crusty.

5. Cool (if you can wait):

   • Let it sit for 30–60 minutes before slicing to finish the magic inside.

✨ Bonus Options:

• Add-ins: roasted garlic, rosemary, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, cheese… endless vibes.

• Flour swaps: Try 1 cup of whole wheat in place of regular for a nuttier twist.

• Crust tip: Spray some water inside the oven when you put the bread in for extra steam and crunch.
