Stovetop Bread image

Baking bread doesn't mean the house has to bake too. This recipe lets you bake a loaf on top of the stove instead of in it, keeping your kitchen cool.

Time 2h25m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the Dutch oven
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)

Steps:

  • Butter a 9-inch Dutch oven and set aside.
  • Combine the butter, yeast, sugar, salt and 1 cup warm water in a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment. With the mixer on low speed, add 1/2 cup of the flour at a time, waiting for each addition to be fully incorporated before adding more. Once all of the flour is added, knead on medium speed for 8 minutes.
  • Transfer the dough to the prepared Dutch oven, cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Put the pot over medium-low heat and cook until the internal temperature of the bread registers 200 degrees F, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the bread cool in the pot for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a rack and let cool completely.
