✨ Introduction
For centuries, bread has been the heart of every meal, a symbol of comfort, sharing, and simplicity. But too often, people think of bread-making as complicated — requiring special ingredients, kneading, and hours of hard work. This recipe proves that none of that is necessary. With just a handful of basic ingredients, you can make a loaf that is crusty on the outside, soft on the inside, and filled with that irresistible homemade flavor.
This bread is the perfect answer for busy families, budget-friendly kitchens, or anyone who simply wants to enjoy the taste of fresh bread without the fuss. It has no eggs, no butter, and requires absolutely no kneading — making it one of the easiest and cheapest bread recipes you’ll ever try.
🥖 Ingredients
3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups (350 ml) warm water
2 tsp salt
½ tsp instant yeast
(Optional: A drizzle of olive oil or sprinkle of seeds on top for extra flavor.)
👩🍳 Instructions / Method
- Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and yeast.
Add the warm water and stir with a spoon until everything comes together into a sticky dough.
- Let it Rise
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel.
Leave it at room temperature for 8–12 hours (overnight is best) until it doubles in size and bubbles appear.
- Shape the Dough
Lightly flour your hands and surface.
Gently form the dough into a round or oval shape. No kneading required!
- Second Rise
Place the shaped dough on parchment paper, cover, and let rest for 30–40 minutes.
- Bake
Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) with a Dutch oven (or heavy oven-safe pot) inside.
Carefully place the dough (with parchment paper) into the hot pot.
Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the lid and bake another 15–20 minutes until golden brown and crusty.
- Cool & Enjoy
Let the bread cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
📜 A Little History & Formation
The concept of “no-knead” bread became widely popular thanks to artisan bakers who wanted to bring traditional European-style bread to home kitchens without complicated methods. By using long fermentation (resting the dough for hours), the yeast develops deep flavors and naturally strengthens the gluten — no kneading required! This technique mimics the way bread was first made centuries ago: simple, rustic, and full of character.
❤️ Conclusion & For the Bread Lovers
This bread is proof that baking doesn’t have to be complicated. With only four pantry staples and a bit of patience, you get a loaf that looks like it came from a bakery. Crispy crust, airy crumb, and that warm aroma that fills your home — what more could a bread lover want?
Perfect with soups, stews, sandwiches, or just a smear of butter (if you want to add it later 😉), this recipe is a keeper for life.
