A simple No-knead Sourdough Bread Recipe with Starter or make with commercial yeast! Making sourdough bread this easy and quick will make homemade baking a joy! It is the easiest sourdough recipe I've made that didn't have to sit overnight and turns out crunchy, moist, and so delicious (using basic ingredients!)
Mix together all the ingredients using a wooden spoon until you hardly see any more dry flour. Cover and let sit for 4 hours on the countertop.
Preheat the dutch oven at 450°F. Meanwhile, transfer the dough onto a well-floured surface. Stretch and fold to make a smooth ball.
Place seam down onto a lightly floured piece of parchment paper and place back into a clean bowl. Score and allow to rise while the oven preheats.
Place the dough inside a hot dutch (using kitchen mittens) and cover with the lid. Bake for 30 minutes covered then 5-10 minutes uncovered. Cool before slicing.
