No Knead Bread
by munatycooking • 18/01/2013 • Bread, Home • 24 Comments
Although it is a no knead bread, but it’s light and delicious. You can brag in front of your friends and family and present a classy looking loaf of bread that go perfect with butter, or dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.
I can go on and on talking about this bread. Light crust from the outside, spongy and moist from the inside. It is just heavenly.
Did I mention that it’s amazingly scrumptious if used in making French toast?
Here you go!
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon dry active yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons flour to dust the top of the dough
- Mix water with olive oil, yeast, and sugar. Keep aside.
- In a bowl, whisk flour with salt, then pour the previous mixture on top and mix using a spatula or a wooden spoon.
- Cover the dough and leave to double in size in a warm place, this might take an hour or an hour and half.
- Place a parchment paper in a baking pan and brush with olive oil.
- Pour the dough on the parchment paper, using a spatula bring the dough’s edges to the center, trying to form a round shape.
- Cover the dough again and let it increase in size, for 30 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour on top of the dough, then using a sharp knife make a cross in the middle of the dough. The cut shouldn’t be deeper than 1/4 an inch.
- Preheat oven to 190C – 374F. and bake the bread for 20 to 25 minutes.
- Let the bread cool, and enjoy!
Note: Some ovens have poor heat circulation, therefore the surface of food baked in it don’t turn brown, and the heat is concentrated at the bottom. If you have similar oven, turn off the oven after baking this bread for 20 minutes, and turn on the broiler while the oven door is open, until the surface of the bread turns brown.
yay i love no-knead breads too!because I love homebaked bread but am usually too lazy to work those muscles hee hee. looks lovely! x
I hear you
I love baking but at times kneading for 10 minutes is no fun. Hope you like it!
Is is supposed to be a wet dough?
Yes, It should be a bit wet and elastic in texture. Hope this helped!
One of my favorite breads. Put some olive oil with garlic and herbs and I am happy camper. Great video too!

Thanks Nami, I started to enjoy making these little videos, I look forward to uploading more. I’m glad you liked my bread, it tastes great with butter when just out of the oven, in fact that’s my way to test if the bread is good
Beautiful! A method I love to use when I cannot be bothered to go into too much trouble in order to make bread.
Cheers,
Roosa
I can imagine having this bread with some of your delicious recipes. Hope you enjoy the bread as much as we did
Yeay!!! Skipping with joy here. No knead bread is definitely a bliss.. And I am certain this is a recipe keeper. I always had fear of making bread and only attempted making bagels and doughnuts. This bread is perfect for anything, dip in hummus, make some bruschetta out of it.. gosh! I really want to make this now. Have a great week my friend!! ♥ Jo
