Macadamia Free Dutch Oven No-Knead Bread

There is something almost magical about pulling a crackling, golden loaf out of a screaming-hot Dutch oven, especially when the ingredient list is this short. Just flour, instant yeast, kosher salt, and warm water come together into a shaggy dough that transforms overnight into something bakery-worthy. The long, slow rise does all the heavy lifting, so there is no kneading, no special equipment beyond a pot with a lid, and absolutely no complicated technique standing between you and a stunning loaf. Because the recipe relies on four pantry staples and nothing else, there is zero concern about tree nuts of any kind sneaking in through a specialty ingredient or a store-bought shortcut. The Dutch oven traps steam during the first bake, giving you that thick, shattering crust and an open, chewy crumb that is genuinely hard to believe came from your own kitchen. Patience is the only real skill required — the dough needs its long rest, and the finished loaf needs a full hour to cool before you slice into it. Once you do, though, you will have a hard time going back to anything wrapped in plastic from the bread aisle.
