BLEU FLOUR
BLEU 5-Minute Bread Recipe
Crusty, no-knead artisan bread with about five minutes of hands-on work, made with BLEU French T65 Flour.
This is the easiest way to make bakery-style bread at home. Stir four ingredients together, let the dough rest overnight, and bake it in a hot Dutch oven for a crisp, golden crust and a soft, airy center. No kneading and no mixer needed.
Ingredients
- 3 cups BLEU French T65 Flour
- 1½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp instant yeast
- 1½ cups room temperature water
Instructions
- Whisk together the BLEU French T65 Flour, salt, and instant yeast. Stir in the water and mix until a thick, shaggy dough forms.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 12-18 hours, until the dough is puffy with small bubbles.
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Place a 6-quart Dutch oven with its lid inside for 30 minutes to heat.
- Gently shape the dough into a round ball. Don't knead it. Place it on parchment and carefully lower it into the hot pot.
- Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the lid and bake uncovered for another 10-15 minutes, until the crust is golden and crisp.
- Let the bread cool slightly on a rack before slicing.
Tip: Leave extra parchment hanging over the sides so you can use it as a sling to lower the dough in and lift the loaf out safely.
Store wrapped at room temp up to 3 days, or freeze up to 3 months.
