No Knead Skillet Bread
21/2 tsp. active dry yeast
2 cups warm water
1/2 TBS salt
4 1/3 cups all purpose flour
olive oil
fresh or dried thyme, rosemary or any italian herb of your choice.
Combine yeast and water in mixing bowl. Using a wooden spoon add 1 cup of flour and then the salt and mix until combined. Stir in the rest of flour 1 cup at a time until all incorporated. Cover with a damp dish towel and let rise for 1 hour.
Do not punch down the dough, lightly oil the bottom and sides of a 10'' skillet. Oil hands and shape the dough into a round disc like shape. Place in skillet and cover with towel and let rise for 30 more minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Gently rub oil over the top of the bread dough and then slash the dough with a knife, making an x. Sprinkle with herbs and bake for 35-40 minutes until top is well golden brown.
Hope y'all enjoy!
