No Knead Italian Artisan Bread

A simple, rustic loaf that requires no kneading, perfect for beginner bakers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup lukewarm water
  • 1 ⅛ teaspoon instant dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Dissolve the yeast in ¼ cup of lukewarm water with honey and wait about 5 minutes until bubbly.
  2. In a bowl, combine flour with the remaining lukewarm water and add the yeast mixture, mixing gently until you have a soft and sticky dough.
  3. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes until doubled in size.
  4. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  5. Transfer the dough onto a floured baking sheet, score the top lightly, and bake for approximately 25 minutes.
  6. Lower the temperature to 325°F (160°C) and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For best flavor, slice it warm and serve with olive oil or as a side for soups and salads.
