Vegan no knead bread
Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (about 110°F or 43°C)
Instructions:
- Mixing the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and instant yeast.
- Add the warm water to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The dough will be shaggy and sticky.
- First Rise:
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
- Let the dough rest at room temperature for about 12 to 18 hours. This allows the gluten to develop and gives the bread its structure.
- Second Rise:
- After the initial rise, the dough will be wet and bubbly.
- Flour your hands and a work surface generously. Fold the dough over itself a few times, forming it into a ball.
- Place the dough back into the bowl, cover, and let it rise for an additional 1-2 hours.
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a covered Dutch oven or a similar oven-safe pot inside the oven while it’s heating up.
- Shape the Dough:
- Once the oven is preheated, carefully remove the hot pot.
- Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it in the preheated pot. You can sprinkle a bit of flour on the bottom to prevent sticking.
- Bake:
- Cover the pot with its lid and place it back in the oven.
- Bake covered for 30 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the bread has a golden-brown crust.
- Cool:
- Allow the bread to cool in the pot for a few minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy:
- Slice and enjoy your delicious vegan no-knead bread!
