{Recipe} 3 Ingredient No-Knead Bread

I made this bread a few months ago but I hadn't done step by step photos until now.  With the stay at home order and bread limits at some stores-it's a good time to try your hand at bread making or if you just want a foolproof recipe.  (Sorry if you're not eating bread right now--come back later!)

 This could not be simpler and really only takes 3 ingredients to make (plus water).  Perfect quarantine bread!

 The only issue with this bread is that you have to plan for it. It has a really long rising time (8-24 hours) so you must plan ahead.  I found that if I mix up the dough the night before I need it, it doesn't feel like too much of a hardship and I'll have fresh bread the next day!

 Ingredients:

3 cups all purpose flour (I haven't tried it with any other kind of flour yet)

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp yeast

1 1/2 cups warm water (just warm from the tap)

 To make:

• Mix together ingredients in a large bowl.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 8-24 hours on the counter (no refrigeration necessary!).
• When you're ready to bake the bread. Preheat oven to 450ºF and place Dutch oven (or covered baker) in the oven to preheat as well.
• Form dough into a ball on parchment paper and let rest for 30 minutes while Dutch oven is preheating.
• Carefully add the rested dough on the parchment paper to the (HOT)  Dutch oven and bake covered for 30 minutes.
• Remove lid and bake an additional 15-20 minutes.

 Remove from the oven and look at your gorgeous loaf of bread!

 You'll feel so accomplished!

 Let it cool a little before you cut into it..unless you just can't wait!

 I like to check the center to make sure it's cooked all the way through.

It's delicious right out of the oven, toasted later or great for sandwiches (we had paninis last week!).
