Pro Tips for Perfect No-Knead Bread
Use Fresh Yeast: Test your yeast by dissolving it in warm water with a pinch of sugar. If it foams, it’s active and ready to use.
Longer Rise = Better Flavor: A 12-18 hour rise deepens the flavor and creates a chewier texture.
Preheat Your Dutch Oven: This traps steam, giving the bread its signature crispy crust.
Score the Dough: Use a sharp knife or razor blade to make a small slit on top of the dough before baking. This helps control expansion in the oven.
Let the Bread Cool: Resist cutting into the bread right away! Let it cool for at least 30 minutes to set properly.
