This Crusty No Knead Dutch Oven Bread Recipe is easy to make with just a few

ingredients and no special equipment. Simply let it rise overnight and bake in a

dutch oven. The perfect homemade, foolproof recipe.

This delicious bread is a perfect gift wrapped up in a cute towel....

Like I say, the best gifts are homemade gifts!

In a large bowl combine...

3 cups of all-purpose flour

1tsp of salt

1 tsp dry yeast

Pour in 1 1/2 cups of warm water.

With a wooden spoon stir to form a ball.

Cover the bowl with some plastic wrap and a towel and

let the dough rise to double in size for

10-12 hours or just overnight.

It doubled in size :)

Grab a wood butcher block and flour it up.

Place the dutch oven with lid on and preheat in a 450 degree oven for 30 minutes.

In the mean time transfer the dough to the floured surface and gather into a ball.

Place the dough on a large piece of parchment paper. Spread 

olive oil all over the top of the dough.

With a pink knife score the top of the bread just like this.

Grab your "Hot" dutch oven because it's almost cooking time :)

Carefully place the dough into the very hot dutch oven with the parchment paper.

You may need to trim some of the parchment paper if its too high.

Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes remove the lid and bake 30 more minutes.

Homemade bread just smells awesome!
