We recommend this recipe as a first bake with Wild Hive Bread Flour 00 because it clearly showcases flour performance. When dough develops through slow hydration and fermentation instead of mechanical kneading, the strength of the wheat proteins truly matters.

Why This Recipe Works

No knead bread relies on time to build gluten structure, making it an ideal recipe for evaluating flour quality. In this method, protein strength and proper milling directly impact:

  • Natural gluten development

  • Dough elasticity

  • Oven spring

  • Crumb structure

  • Crust formation

With our finely milled Bread Flour 00, you’ll notice strong dough formation, excellent rise, and a crackling artisan crust.
