Pat finds it hard to believe it's March again and we are officially 1 year into this pandemic! With so much uncertainty, one thing Pat knows for sure is baking bread at home still hits different. This no knead bread recipe is so simple, it can be made within 2 hours! It's also super versatile and you can add a variety of spices or flavors as you like! Pat's personal favorite is adding Trader Joe's Everything but the Bagel seasoning making this bread savory and perfect for pairing with soup, grilled cheese, or slathering butter on top!
3-4 tablespoons Trader Joe's Everything but the Bagel seasoning (can adjust accordingly)
1 1/2 cups hot water (up to 130 degrees)
Directions
In a standing mixer or large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, salt, and EBTB seasoning. Stir in water until well combined
Form into a rough ball and cover with damp towel for 1 hour
After 40 minutes, place a Dutch oven with lid in a cold oven and preheat to 450 degrees
After the dough has rested for an hour, place on well floured surface, fold dough over several times, and shape into a ball. You can score the dough into a fun design if you wish!
Place dough ball on a piece of parchment paper
Carefully remove Dutch oven from oven (it will be hot!) and place dough & parchment paper so it sits at the bottom of the pot. Cover with Dutch oven lid, making sure parchment paper sticks out
Bake for 30 minutes
After 30 minutes, remove the Dutch oven lid and parchment paper leaving bread at the bottom of the pot
