When Pinch of Yum said that their ‘No Knead Bread’ was a miracle they weren’t kidding! Homemade bread has been something i’ve wanted to make for awhile now; however, every time I looked up how long it would take I became immediately discouraged. Some homemade breads take over 5 days to make (sourdough for example)! Ain’t nobody got time for that *snaps fingers in a left and right motion*!
Per usual, I was waist deep in Pinterest inspiration and came across Pinch of Yum‘s recipe.

Ingredients
- 3 Cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Instant Yeast
- 1 1/2 cup Water Room Temperature
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 Large Cloves Garlic
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Mix/whisk the flour, salt, and yeast in a bowl together.
-
Slowly pour in the water and mix until the dough becomes scrappy and binds together. Option to add 1 more Tbsp if needed.
-
Cover with plastic wrap (I am so bad at using this correctly) and let sit for 12-18 (I did it for around 14-15 hours). You'll know it's ready once the dough has spread in the bowl and little bubbles appear.
-
Preheat the oven to 450.
-
Once preheated, place a cast iron (or dutch oven) in the oven for 30 minutes to heat.
-
While the pan is heating, pour the dough out onto a floured surface and carefully fold over two-three times until the dough is shaped into a ball.
-
Place the dough ball onto a sheet of parchment paper and cover with plastic wrap again while the pan heats up (30 minutes).
-
Remove the pan from the oven after 30 minutes and place the dough (with parchment paper on the bottom) in the pan.
-
Carefully cover with foil (or the lid to the dutch oven) and bake for 30 minutes.
-
Remove from oven after 30 minutes and brush the melted butter, garlic, salt, and pepper mixture all over the bread.
-
Place back in the oven UNCOVERED for another 10-15 minutes.
-
Remove as soon as the bread is golden brown and crispy.
