Bread Makes Life Better

No Need to Knead

Ingredients:

• Flour (3 1/2 cups)

• Salt (1 1/2 tsp)

• Yeast (1/2 tsp)

• Water (1 3/4 cups)

• Butter (Optional) ...but yes

The Work:

• In a bowl combine the flour, salt and yeast

• Add the water and gently mix until the flour is moist

• Cover and rest overnight

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees

• Place cast iron in the oven to preheat

• While the oven is heating up and before placing the dough in the cast iron, fold the dough a few times and form the dough into a bread shape

• Let the dough rest for 30 minutes while the oven and cast iron heats up

• My cast iron did not have a lid so I added a piece of aluminum foil and cooked covered for 30 minutes

• After 30 minutes, cook uncovered for another 20-25 minutes.

• After 20 minutes check in on your bread to make sure it is not burning!

The Finale:

• Take the bread out the oven and let rest

• Congratulate yourself!
