Ah! You’re talking about a super simple, no-knead, no-egg, no-butter bread — perfect for easy homemade bread without fuss. Here’s a quick recipe:
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (or bread flour)
- 1 ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp instant yeast
- 1 ½ cups warm water
Instructions
- Mix:
- In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and yeast.
- Add warm water and stir until a sticky dough forms.
- First rise:
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap or a towel.
- Let sit at room temperature for 8–12 hours (overnight is best).
- Shape:
- Lightly flour a surface, scrape out dough, shape into a ball.
- Don’t knead — just fold edges underneath to make a round loaf.
- Second rise:
- Place dough on parchment paper, cover, and let rise 1–2 hours until puffy.
- Bake:
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) with a Dutch oven inside if you have one.
- Carefully place dough (with parchment) into the hot Dutch oven.
- Cover and bake 30 minutes, then uncover and bake 10–15 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool:
- Let bread cool completely before slicing.
💡 Tip: This bread has a crispy crust and soft, airy inside. You can sprinkle seeds on top before baking for extra flavor.
If you want, I can give an ultra-fast 1-hour version that’s still soft and crusty without any eggs, butter, or kneading.
Do you want me to do that?
