How to Make 100 Whole Wheat Bread Plain And Simple No Knead

  1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly until a shaggy dough forms.
  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise at room temperature for at least 12 hours, or up to 2 days (longer is better).
  3. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C) with a Dutch oven inside for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Gently remove about 1.25 pounds (approximately 1/4 of the total dough) from the bulk dough. Shape it into a round or oval loaf.
  5. Carefully place the dough into the preheated Dutch oven.
  6. Cover the Dutch oven and bake for 30 minutes.
  7. Remove the lid and bake for another 15-20 minutes, until the crust is deeply golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Repeat with remaining dough portions.
