Fructose Free Classic Dutch Oven Bread

There is something deeply satisfying about pulling a golden, crackling loaf out of a screaming-hot Dutch oven, and this no-knead recipe delivers exactly that kind of triumph. With just four pantry staples — flour, instant yeast, kosher salt, and warm water — the ingredient list is beautifully stripped back, which is exactly what makes it such a reliable fit for anyone managing fructose sensitivity. No sweeteners, no honey, no fruit-derived additives hiding in the dough; just honest bread doing what bread does best. The long, slow overnight rest does all the heavy lifting, developing a complex, chewy crumb and that signature blistered crust without any kneading required. Scoring the top before it goes in allows the loaf to bloom dramatically in the oven, giving you that artisan bakery look with almost zero effort. Letting it cool fully on a wire rack before slicing is the one step worth resisting the urge to skip — it's what keeps the interior perfectly set rather than gummy. Once you've made this, store-bought bread with its long list of mystery ingredients will be very hard to go back to.
