Ingredients you need to make homemade No Knead Artisan Bread:
All-Purpose Flour - Regular all-purpose flour is all you need for this recipe. We used organic all-purpose flour. You can also use wheat flour for a wheat loaf.
Sugar - I used raw cane sugar, but you can use regular white sugar or stevia, etc. You only need one teaspoon.
Salt - Any cooking salt you prefer. I almost always use sea salt in my recipes. You'll only need one teaspoon.
Active Dry Yeast - You'll need one teaspoon of active dry yeast. I like to buy a jar of active dry yeast and store it in my fridge so I can use it whenever I need and it lasts so long!
Water - Room temperature water for your dough.
Tools to have on hand for this recipe:
- Bread Loaf Pan – A standard sized bread pan.
- Mixing Bowl – You’ll need one large mixing bowl to make the dough in.

How To Make Easy No Knead Artisan Bread:
In a large deep bowl, add flour, salt, yeast and sugar. Mix to combine.
Add water to the dry ingredients and stir. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water to the dough if the dough is too dry. You want the dough to be pretty sticky and not too dry.
Cover bowl of dough with a clean towel. Let rise for 6+ hours up to overnight.
Lightly grease a 9x5 bread pan. Using a rubber spatula, dump dough into the bread pan. Cover with a clean dish towel and let rise one more hour.
While dough rises, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Tent the bread pan with a piece of aluminum foil. Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 20 minutes.
Once the bread is done, carefully transfer bread to a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
