3-Ingredient No Knead Bread

So, what exactly is no knead bread? As the name suggests, it’s a bread-making technique that eliminates the need for tedious and time-consuming kneading. Developed by renowned bakerJim Lahey, this method has captivated home bakers worldwide with its simplicity and incredible results. The secret lies in the long fermentation process, allowing the dough to develop complex flavors and a light, airy texture, all without the need to knead. By simply combining a few basic ingredients – flour, water, yeast, and salt – and allowing the dough to rest for an extended period, you can achieve professional-level bread without any special equipment or skills. One of the greatest advantages of no knead bread is its convenience. Traditional bread-making often requires a considerable investment of time and effort, but with this technique, you can easily fit baking into your daily routine. Whether you’re a working professional, a busy parent, or someone who simply wants to enjoy freshly baked bread without the hassle, no-knead bread is the solution you’ve been waiting for. Not only does no knead bread save you time and effort, but it also guarantees exceptional results. The slow fermentation process enhances the bread’s flavor, creating a tantalizing aroma and a delightful taste that will rival that of your favorite bakery. The crust is perfectly crisp, while the crumb is soft, moist, and filled with small air pockets – the hallmark of a well-made loaf. No knead bread allows for endless creativity in the kitchen. Once you’ve mastered the basic recipe, you can experiment with various flours, adding seeds, herbs, or even dried fruits to create your own unique flavors. This technique empowers you to become a true artisan baker, impressing your family and friends with a wide range of delicious homemade breads. My family and I fell in love with this bread a few months ago and I make it pretty regularly now.

I like to think of this plain version as a quick sourdough bread because as it sits for 12-18 hours with a very small amount of yeast, it’s collecting wild yeast and developing amazing flavor. But don’t let me saying that I think it’s a quick sourdough deter you if you don’t like sourdough because it’s definitely mild. And let me tell you this: this bread recipe makes the most amazing french toast. Cut it about 1 1/2 inches thick and use it for the best french toast breakfast you’ve ever had. 3 cups bread flour*
