Bake a bakery-style loaf with a crusty exterior and soft interior using this simple, no-knead method. This recipe incorporates Parmesan, garlic, and herbs for a savory homemade loaf perfect for beginners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups cool water
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and yeast.
  2. Add the cool water to the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon until just combined; the dough will be shaggy.
  3. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary until evenly distributed.
  4. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Let the dough rest at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours. Do not knead the dough.
  5. About 30 minutes before baking, place a 5 to 6-quart Dutch oven with its lid inside your oven. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (232 degrees Celsius).
  6. Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven. Gently scrape the dough out of the bowl and place it onto a piece of parchment paper.
  7. Using the parchment paper as a sling, carefully lower the dough into the hot Dutch oven. Cover with the lid.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes with the lid on.
  9. Remove the lid and continue baking for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the crust is deep golden brown.
  10. Carefully remove the bread from the Dutch oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  • The long, slow fermentation time develops the flavor and structure, so do not rush the 12 to 18-hour rest period.
  • For the best crust, do not skip preheating the Dutch oven with the oven.
  • If you do not have fresh herbs, use 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary.
