🥖 No-Knead Homemade Bread (Beginner-Friendly)

---

Instructions:

1. Mix ingredients in a large bowl using a spoon. No kneading! Just stir until a rough dough forms.
2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a towel. Let it rest at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours (overnight is perfect).
3. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a Dutch oven (or heavy oven-safe pot with a lid) inside while it heats.
4. Shape the dough into a ball on a floured surface (it will be sticky—use floured hands).
5. Carefully place the dough into the hot pot, cover it, and bake for 30 minutes.
6. Remove the lid and bake another 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crusty.
7. Cool on a rack, slice, and enjoy the magic of homemade bread!
