No-Knead Bread

Instructions

• 1
  In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients and work into a compact dough.
• 2
  Cover the bowl with the dough with a towel and let it rise on the work surface for 2⁠–⁠2.5 hours, until the dough doubles in size.
• 3
  About 30 minutes before the end of rising, preheat the oven to 230 °C and simultaneously heat a baking dish with a lid (approx. 15 cm × 20 cm) in which the bread will fit. Instead of a dish, you can also use a pot with a lid suitable for the oven.
• 4
  After the dough has risen, spread baking paper on the work surface and dust it with a little flour. Carefully shape the dough into a round loaf with as few movements as possible. The dough should be sticky ⁠–⁠ do not add more flour, otherwise, the bread will lose its fluffiness.
• 5
  Remove the heated baking dish from the oven and place the loaf inside with the baking paper. Cover the dish with the lid and bake for 30 minutes at 225⁠–⁠230 °C.
• 6
  After the specified time, remove the lid from the dish and bake the bread for another 10⁠–⁠12 minutes until it turns golden.
• 7
  Remove the baked bread from the oven and let it cool for 30⁠–⁠60 minutes. Then slice it and serve.
