There’s something deeply satisfying about baking your own bread—especially when it requires no fancy tools, no kneading, and only four humble ingredients. This Simple Dough Bread is inspired by the no-knead method popularized by Jim Lahey, but streamlined for everyday kitchens. With a crisp golden crust and a tender, airy crumb, it tastes like it came from a village bakery—even though you mixed it in a bowl before bed.
Perfect for sandwiches, soup-dunking, or slathering with butter, this loaf proves that great bread doesn’t need complexity—just time and care.
