Capsaicin Free Vegan No-Knead Bread

There is something deeply satisfying about pulling a crackling, golden loaf out of a screaming-hot Dutch oven, especially when the ingredient list is this short. Four pantry staples — flour, yeast, salt, and warm water — come together into a dough that practically builds itself overnight while you sleep. The long, slow fermentation does all the heavy lifting, developing a complex, slightly tangy flavor and an open, chewy crumb without a single minute of kneading. Because the recipe is entirely plant-based and relies on nothing but simple dry goods and water, there are zero concerns about hidden spice blends, chili derivatives, or any of the sneaky heat-containing additives that can make store-bought breads a gamble. The Dutch oven traps steam during the first bake, giving the loaf that bakery-style crust that shatters when you slice into it. Letting it cool on a wire rack for a full hour before cutting is genuinely worth the patience — the interior sets into a perfectly tender, pillowy crumb that holds up beautifully for sandwiches, toast, or just torn apart at the table with a drizzle of olive oil.
