Analyzing cooking steps...
Ensure hot water temperature does not exceed 130°F (54°C) to activate yeast effectively without killing it. Do not use boiling water.
The dough will be very sticky and shaggy after mixing; this is normal for no-knead bread.
No kneading or extensive handling is required, making this a very easy recipe.
Let the dough rise on the countertop for 3-5 hours; it is very forgiving if left longer.
Preheat the Dutch oven to 450°F (232°C) with the lid on to ensure a crispy crust.
Always check your oven thermometer as actual oven temperature may vary.
Use oven-safe gloves or mitts when handling the extremely hot Dutch oven and lid.
Allow the bread to cool for a short period before slicing for best texture.
