How to Make 4-Ingredient Homemade Bread
1. Mix the Dough
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and yeast.
- Pour in the warm water and stir with a spoon until a sticky dough forms. No kneading needed!
2. Let It Rise
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel.
- Let the dough rise at room temperature for 8-12 hours (overnight works best). It should be bubbly and doubled in size.
3. Shape and Preheat the Oven
- Lightly flour a surface and gently shape the dough into a round ball. Don’t overwork it!
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a Dutch oven (or any oven-safe pot with a lid) inside to heat up for 30 minutes.
4. Bake to Perfection
- Carefully place the dough into the hot Dutch oven, cover with the lid, and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the lid and bake for another 10-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
5. Cool and Enjoy!
- Let the bread cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
