No-knead Dutch Oven Bread

"With just 5 ingredients and about 10 minutes of hands-on prep, you can bake a loaf of crusty no knead Dutch Oven Bread that's better than the local bakery's! This quick recipe doesn't need to rest overnight, so you can enjoy the artisan bread on the same day that you stir it together. Thanks to the magic of a Dutch oven, the crust gets perfectly browned and chewy, while the crumb stays light and airy. No baking experience necessary! My dad created this recipe for the perfect loaf of same-day homemade artisan bread. It has the taste and texture of classic French bread -- a chewy crust and a light, tender crumb, but it doesn't require a mixer, kneading, or an overnight rest. It's a quick Dutch Oven bread that's a perfect companion for a warm bowl of soup, an ideal vehicle for a grilled cheese sandwich, or the best piece of morning toast! "
