Hazelnut Free Vegan No-Knead Bread

There is something deeply satisfying about pulling a golden, crackling loaf out of a screaming-hot Dutch oven, especially when the ingredient list is this short and clean. Four pantry staples — flour, yeast, salt, and water — are all it takes to produce a bakery-worthy boule with a shatteringly crisp crust and an open, chewy crumb. The long, slow rise does all the heavy lifting, developing flavor and structure overnight so you wake up to a dough that's ready to bake with almost no effort on your part. Because the recipe is entirely plant-based and built from the most basic ingredients imaginable, there's zero guesswork about hidden additives, nut-derived oils, or cross-contact concerns that can make store-bought bread a gamble. The Dutch oven traps steam during the first bake, mimicking a professional bread oven and giving the loaf that dramatic oven spring and glossy crust you'd expect from an artisan bakery. The only real rule is patience — let the loaf cool fully on the rack before slicing, or the interior crumb won't have time to set properly. Once you've made this, it's very hard to go back to anything wrapped in plastic.
