How to Make Easy No-Knead Bread | Inspired by Jim Lahey

Homemade bread sounds intimidating, but it can be as easy as mixing a few basic ingredients together and relying on the power of time. There is nothing better (or more relaxing) than baking and enjoying warm bread. Here is an adaptation of Sullivan Street Bakery Jim Lahey’s famed no-knead bread. No-Knead Bread, Inspired by Jim Lahey 3 cups all-purpose or bread flour 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast 1 1/2 cups room-temperature water 1. In a bowl, combine the above ingredients. Mix with a spatula or your hand (it will be sticky, so a wet hand would be best) until combined. Cover and let rest for 12 to 18 hours. 2. When ready to bake: Remove cover from the bowl. The dough should be roughly doubled in size. Use floured hands or a plastic bench scraper to gently fold the dough into itself. 3. Turn the sticky dough out to another bowl lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rest one more time while you preheat the oven, about 30 to 60 minutes. 4. Preheat the oven to 450F/230C. Place a Dutch oven or enameled cast iron pot in oven while it preheats. Once oven comes to temp, carefully remove pot from oven, remove lid, and place paper and dough in. Cover and bake for 40 minutes. 5. After 40 minutes, remove lid and bake for another 20 to 30 minutes until golden brown. 6. Remove the pot carefully from the oven. Transfer the paper and loaf and cool on a rack for 1 hour. Remove butter from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature in the meantime. 7. After 1 hour, slice and enjoy with ample butter and flaky salt. * My tools: - Bowls: https://amzn.to/2Hq7Ikc (similar) - Spatula: https://amzn.to/36f9fTS (similar) - Cutting board: https://food52.com/shop/products/6594-five-two-bamboo-cutting-board - Glass measuring cup: https://amzn.to/2F0PSCQ - Measuring cups and spoons: https://amzn.to/2tkOFDa - Plastic bench scraper: https://amzn.to/2QflxpD - Fabric bowl cover: https://food52.com/shop/products/1137-linen-cotton-bowl-covers-set-of-6 - Staub cast iron round cocotte: https://amzn.to/2QBld3H - Serrated knife: https://materialkitchen.com/products/the-knives?set=the-trio Music credit: Podington Bear #nokneadbread #jimlaheybread #homemadebread
