Hi Everyone, bread can be simple and easy to make and it's amazing that most people do not realize this - I certainly did not!
Freshly baked bread is a far superior experience compared to commercially produced bread with all those additives and preservatives.

Baking bread always intimidated me - perhaps it is the idea of working with yeast that seemed unpredictable and the rising time involved.
It seems like more work than it really is.
Yes, there is rising time, a minimum of 3 hours, plus 30 mins or so for the second rise but one can do other things during that time and just plan around it.
This bread recipe is very forgiving because I have left out it for several hours more than the minimum for the first rise and it still came out great.
I found with every loaf, I became more practiced and confident in my bread baking abilities.
I decided several months ago, to bake our own bread instead of buying it from the grocery store but we still buy some bread from local bakeries and grocery store-bought.
Depending on the season, I bake this bread a couple of days a week and bake 1-2 loaves and I also enjoy baking other types now but this particular recipe is so simple and easy that it has become our staple bread for many meals.
This super-simple no-knead bread recipe was my "gateway bread" recipe to baking bread and I hope it will become your staple bread too or at least a fun activity to try!
Please note that you will need a Dutch Oven for this recipe or an oven-safe pot (up to 450° F) with a lid, make sure the handle on the lid is oven safe!
I have had great results with my Calphalon Unison Dutch Oven or Lodge Dutch Oven but there are many others out there as well.
I recommend also using a pastry mat and bench or dough scraper.
I link to all the helpful kitchen tools in the recipe card at the end of the post.
Jenny Jones inspired me to attempt making bread on a regular basis with her faster no-knead recipe.
She also has a great video and shows you how to make the bread.
