2 Hour No Knead Bread Recipe

How to make it

---

• 1. In large bowl combine yeast and water. Let sit for five minutes
• 2. Add flour and salt to yeast mixture and stir until well combined (dough will be lumpy and won' t look like your typical dough for rising)
• 3. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let stand in warm area for 1 hour ( I put mine in oven with oven light on)
• 4. After 40 minutes remove bowl from oven and let dough rise for anther 20 minutes.
• 5.. Place a 3-6 quart dutch oven with lid on into a cold oven and preheat to 450 F.
• 6. After dough has now risen for a full one hour, turn dough onto a well floured surface and sprinkle the top with a little additional flour. Using a bench scraper (or hands) fold dough over about 10 times to shape into a ball.
• 7. Place dough ball into a large bowl lined with parchment paper (Remember not wax paper) and cover with a towel.
• .8. Let dough rest on counter for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes carefully remove hot dutch oven from oven and lift lid carefully.
• 9. Lift parchment paper and dough from bowl and place gently into hot pan. (parchment paper too) Return lid to pan.
• 10. Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
• 11. Remove lid and bake uncovered for additional 10 minutes or until bread is golden in color and sounds hollow when tapped.
• 12. Remove pan from oven and take bread out of pan to cool.
• 13. Best to let bread cool completely before cutting.
• 14. Enjoy!!!
• I**AERATE FLOUR BEFORE MEASURING** using a scoop to put flour into a separate bowl before actual measuring and stir flour a few times to incorporate air. Now you can measure flour for recipe requirements
