Best 3 Artisan Sourdough No Knead Bread Recipes

BETTER-THAN-BAKERY NO-KNEAD SOURDOUGH

Steps:

• Mix water and salt together in a very large bowl. Add sourdough starter and whisk vigorously to mix and aerate; stir in 3 cups bread flour until smooth. Stir in remaining 3 cups bread flour until dough is completely mixed.
• Cover bowl and set aside until dough is bubbly and increased in volume, 12 to 15 hours.
• Turn dough on to a well floured work surface using floured hands. Turn dough several times to cover with flour. Return dough to an oiled bowl and let rest until dough is doubled in size but not risen enough to collapse, 2 to 3 hours.
• Preheat an oven-safe, lidded Dutch oven (at least 8 quarts) in a 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) oven for 30 minutes.
• Carefully remove Dutch oven using oven mitts and sprinkle cornmeal into the bottom to prevent dough from sticking.
• Gently roll dough out of oiled bowl and into the Dutch oven; replace lid.
• Bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove lid and continue baking until crust is lightly browned, about 15 minutes more. Carefully tip loaf out onto a cooking rack to cool completely.

ARTISAN SOURDOUGH NO-KNEAD BREAD

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, stir 1/4 cup starter into purified water.
• Add combined dry ingredients and stir until well incorporated.
• 2 stretch and folds at 15 minute intervals.
• Cover bowl and let sit roughly 10-12 hours at room temperature.
• Follow video instruction for coil folding and placing dough in well floured proofing basket.
• Cover proofing basket and let rise about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Proofing times can vary quite a bit based mostly on your ambient room temperature. Experience will be your best teacher when it comes to judging when your dough is ready to bake.
• Preheat your baking vessel to 500ºF for 30 minutes.
• Bake your dough with the cover on for approximately 17 minutes.
• Remove baker cover and continue baking an additional 17 minutes.
• When internal dough temperature reaches 200-210ºF, remove from oven and let cool completely.
• Consume bread, be happy.

NO-KNEAD ARTISAN STYLE BREAD

Steps:

• Combine the flour, yeast, and salt in a large bowl and mix to combine. Add the water and herbs, if using, and mix well. The dough will be very sticky and shaggy-looking. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside at room temperature for 18 to 24 hours.
• Generously flour a work surface. The dough will have risen and will be covered in bubbles. Transfer the dough to the work surface and dust it with flour. Fold the dough in half, and then form the dough into a ball by stretching and tucking the edges of the dough underneath the ball.
• Liberally flour a kitchen towel (do not use terrycloth). Place the dough ball on the floured towel. Cover with another floured towel. Let the dough rise for about two hours [see footnote].
• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place a lidded Dutch oven or deep heavy duty casserole dish (with lid) into the oven to preheat.
• Carefully remove the hot baking dish from the oven. Remove the lid and gently turn the dough ball into the ungreased baking dish, seam-side up; shake the dish so the dough is more evenly distributed.
• Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and bake until the crust is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the loaf from the baking dish and let it cool on a rack before slicing.
