Le creuset bread

Basic Bread Oven Bread

With sweet roasted garlic and inviting herbs, this bread smells as good as it tastes. It’s the perfect tasteful accompaniment to soups, stews and pasta recipes. Be sure not to skip the compound butter for extra flavor – top slices of the bread with the butter and lightly toast to create the most delicious riff on your favorite garlic bread.

This is our take on the classic no knead bread baked in a Dutch oven. The long fermentation time helps create the structure of the bread, and the addition of apple cider vinegar adds a yeasty tang similar to a sourdough. Note that this recipe is sized for a 4 1/2 quart round or 5 quart oval Le Creuset Dutch oven which makes a loaf that is suitably sized for 3-4 people. If you have a smaller or larger Dutch oven, please see the chart below.

The whole-wheat loaf was a stand-out in testing.

Pull-apart breads are the perfect sharable snack, and are ideal for parties, holidays and family get-togethers.

It yields a great tasting, consistent loaf with a slightly tighter crumb.
