Artisan Bread NO KNEAD

Artisan bread is so easy to make with no kneading required. Fluffy crusty bread with little effort!
Nothing better than freshly baked bread. Crusty on the outside soft and tender on the inside. Delicious with soups and stews or just warm with butter.

No dutch oven?
Adjust your oven rack to the middle position and one at the lowest position. Fill a metal pan (don't use glass) with about 1 inch of water and place it on the lowest rack. Place bread dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet and place it in the middle rack. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown.

Tips for making artisan bread

• The dough will be wet, and that's okay.
• Any size dutch oven will work, I use a 5qt dutch oven.
• Use a scraper or metal spatula to roll the dough in the extra flour before baking.
• Don't forget to put the lid on the dutch oven this lets the bread steam.
• Place the dough in a warm place to rise, but not too hot.

Can I freeze Artisan bread?

The dough can be frozen let rise then wrap in plastic wrap and place in a ziplock freezer bag for up to 1 month. Defrost the dough in the refrigerator overnight and let come to room temp before baking.

You can freeze baked bread for up to 3 months. Wrap in aluminum foil or parchment paper and put it in a large ziplock freezer bag.
