No Dutch Oven / No Knead Bread

No Dutch Oven No Knead BreadFor anyone who does not have a Dutch oven but wants an easy way to make crusty homemade bread with no kneading and almost no work at all, look what I just made on a baking sheet! It was so easy and the loaf was crusty and delicious.

A Dutch oven with a lid creates steam inside the pot, which produces that crispy crust so I create steam inside the oven by placing a small 5 by 9-inch pan in the oven while it’s preheating. Then when I place the bread in to bake, I pour some boiling water into the little hot pan and whoosh – steam goes all over the place. I close the oven door right away to keep the steam inside and let it bake.

Anyone can make this easy no knead bread on a baking sheet. Click here for the recipe. – Jenny Jones

    I liked your no-knead bred. But the dough in your video mixed up more what I would expect to see in a bread dough: uniform and consistent.
    My dough, after the same amount of mixing is clumpy and more dry than moist.
    You either used less than 3 cups of flour or more than 1.5 cups of water. What’s your secret?

      I used exactly what my recipe states. A dry dough could be from not aerating the flour before measuring which would result in using too much flour and a dry dough. In any case, you can always adjust with a little more water. I hope it turns out for you anyway.๐Ÿ™‚

    Jut no knead, no Dutch oven recipe does not mention a pan for baking the bread in. Assume itโ€™s needed. U may wish to add this to ur recipe.

    Can i use gluten free flour instead?

    The advantage of the D Oven is you contain the spread of dough and make a taller bread which is more conducive for toast unless you don’t mind the inconsistency.
    I am going to experiment with a doubled recipe in two conventional bread pans.

    Can we use conventional oven to bake the bread

    • Jenny Can Cook

      I always use a conventional, not convection (fan-forced) oven.

    Hi.I made this recipe and the crust was perfect but the inside was very doughy and I returned it to the oven for an extra 20 mins and it helped but not fully.What did I do wrong?

  7. Dave

    Make sure you use a METAL pan, NOT glass, or it will explode when you add the water!

    I love the sesame bread sticks, but do you a have a recipe for just sesame sticks. I have made two batches and neither tasted very good. We love them as a snack, but would love to know how to make them. Please help!
