This no-knead bread is simple, fragrant, and soft inside with a crisp, salty crust. Rosemary gives it a fresh, woodsy note and dried cranberries add bright, tart-sweet bites.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour (or bread flour)
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt (for dough)
  • 1/2 teaspoon instant or active dry yeast
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 to 2 teaspoons dried)
  • 3/4 cup (100 g) dried cranberries
  • 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) room-temperature water
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (plus more for brushing)
  • Flaky sea salt, for topping
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or sugar (optional)
  • Zest of 1 orange (optional)
  • 1/3 cup chopped toasted nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk flour, fine sea salt, and yeast. Stir in chopped rosemary and dried cranberries.
  2. Add water and olive oil. Mix with a spoon until a shaggy, sticky dough forms. Scrape down the sides.
  3. Cover the bowl tightly (lid or plastic wrap). Let it rise at room temperature for 480–720 minutes, until doubled, bubbly, and jiggly.
  4. Place a Dutch oven (with lid) on the middle rack. Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, turn the dough onto a floured sheet of parchment. With floured hands, gently shape into a round. Rest 20–30 minutes.
  5. Brush the top with olive oil. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Optionally, score a shallow X on top with a sharp knife.
  6. Carefully lift the dough on the parchment into the hot Dutch oven. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 10–15 minutes more, until deep golden and the center reads about 205–210°F (96–99°C).
  7. Remove to a rack. Cool at least 60 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with butter, olive oil, or soft cheese.

Notes

Dough should be sticky, not dry. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water if needed. Using parchment makes transfer easy and prevents sticking.
