FACTS: can i bake no knead bread without a dutch oven
Yes, you can absolutely make no-knead bread without a Dutch oven; you can bake it in a regular baking sheet, cast iron skillet, or any oven-safe pot with a lid, essentially creating a similar steamy environment by adding a small amount of water to the pan during baking; just be aware that the crust might be slightly less crisp compared to using a Dutch oven.
Key points about baking no-knead bread without a Dutch oven:
• Use any oven-safe pan:
A rimmed baking sheet, a cast iron skillet, a glass pie dish, or even a loaf pan can be used.
• Create steam:
To achieve a crispy crust, add a small amount of water to the baking pan or sprinkle water inside the oven when you first put the dough in.
• May need longer baking time:
Depending on the pan you use, the baking time might need to be adjusted slightly.
• Consider a pizza stone:
Some bakers use a pizza stone to get a crisper crust, placing the dough directly on the hot stone.
