Fructose Free Dutch Oven No-Knead Artisan Bread

There is something almost magical about pulling a crackling, mahogany-crusted loaf out of a Dutch oven, especially when the ingredient list is this short and clean. Four simple pantry staples — bread flour, instant yeast, kosher salt, and warm water — come together into a dough that practically builds itself overnight while you sleep. For anyone managing fructose sensitivity, store-bought artisan breads can be a minefield of hidden additives, sweeteners, and enriched doughs that sneak in problem ingredients; this recipe sidesteps all of that entirely. The long, slow fermentation does the heavy lifting, developing deep flavor and an open, chewy crumb without a single added sugar or fruit-derived ingredient in sight. Baking the loaf covered in a screaming-hot Dutch oven traps steam and produces that signature blistered crust and airy interior you'd expect from a professional bakery. The only real patience required is letting the finished loaf cool on a wire rack before slicing — a hard ask when your kitchen smells this good, but worth every minute for a clean, set crumb.
