Homemade No Knead Bread

I love baking this bread during the school year for tasty school lunches. PB &J is elevated to a whole new entree when made on fresh baked bread! Ham and swiss never had such a tasty wrapper! We also love a simple dinner of freshly baked bread, fruit, vegetables, and a bit of cheese. So simple and yet so yummy!

Even if you have NEVER baked I hope you try making Homemade No Knead Bread! It is a virtually foolproof way to enjoy delicious home baked bread.

    Could I possibly add shredded cheese and herbs to this before I put it into a pan, would adding something as dense as cheese change the quality and structure of the bread? Could I possibly use a round cake pan instead? Should I add the herbs when making the dough?

    Bren, I will be making this within the next few days. If i wanted to add some herbs to the dough, would I add them with the dry ingredients?

        I made the bread with a few tweaks. I added 3 tablespoons of vital wheat gluten and 1 1/2 teaspoons of dried thyme. I also used steam as someone referenced previously. Delicious!!!

    hi, I recently found your website and will be making the bread today. I always put a baking pan filled with hot water at the bottom of my oven when baking bread & cinnabons. this keeps the dough soft.

      Excellent idea! I’ve never tried that method with bread but have used it with cheesecake. I will try it the next time I make bread!

    Dear Bren, I like your blog so much! May I ask how long this bread lasts for on countertop versus in fridge?

      It will last for about a week on the countertop of a kitchen. Thanks for visiting!

    I am very glad to see that it worked for some but unfortunately, not for me. Nothing have changed since 7:00 this morning. I veryfied if my ingredients were the same, the yeast and everything. I followed but no success….

      Marie, I’m so sorry you haven’t seen any changes. I let my dough rest for 12 to 18 hours in a warm place. Did you test your water temperature? If you did you might want to proof some of your yeast to make sure it is active before using it in another recipe.

        I decided to let go and 33hours later it rose about half of the bowl. I intend to persue, bake it and see, may be I’ll try a bite. The expiring date on the teast envelope is June 2016… I’ll let you know and I will try the recipe again!

          If the yeast has been opened, its proofing properties diminishes.

    How ‘hard’ is the crust when it’s done? That seems to be one of the biggest problems with homemade bread for my husband: the crust is so hard he can’t really enjoy it as a sandwich.

      Sami, it has a denser crust than store bought bread but is still quite soft. My kiddo with braces has no complaints! Make sure you brush it with the butter immediately after baking. This keeps the crust soft.
