Cool and Enjoy
Let the bread cool on a rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing — if you can wait that long!
Tips for Success
Use a Dutch oven or heavy pot with a lid — it traps steam and creates that beautiful artisan crust.
Don’t skip the resting time — this is key to flavor and texture.
You can add herbs, cheese, or olives for a delicious twist.
Store leftover bread in a paper bag to maintain the crust’s crunch.
Why It Works
This no-knead method was made popular by legendary baker Jim Lahey and praised by The New York Times — and for good reason. By letting time do the work instead of kneading, the dough develops flavor, gluten, and structure naturally. The result? A loaf that looks rustic, tastes incredible, and requires virtually no effort.
