This no-knead bread is light on the inside with a gently crisp crust. Made with pantry staples and minimal effort, it’s perfect for beginners and seasoned home bakers alike.

Ingredients & Quantity
Water: 200 ml (¾–⅞ cup), lukewarm
Sugar: 25 g (2 tablespoons)
Yeast: 3 g (1 teaspoon)
Bread flour or wheat flour: 300 g (about 2 cups)
Salt: 3 g (½ teaspoon)
Olive oil: 1–2 tablespoons
Instructions
In a bowl, mix the lukewarm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Add flour and salt, then drizzle in olive oil.
Stir with a spoon until a sticky dough forms—no kneading required.
Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place for 45–60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Transfer the dough to a greased or parchment-lined baking pan.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 30–35 minutes, until golden brown.
Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Origin
No-knead bread techniques originated from traditional European home baking, where simplicity and affordability were essential. Long fermentation replaced heavy labor, allowing time and yeast to do the work instead of kneading.
Cultural Significance
Bread has always been a symbol of nourishment and resilience. Recipes like this reflect generations of home cooks making the most of basic ingredients—proving that good bread doesn’t require luxury, only care and patience.
Optional Additions
Dried herbs (oregano, rosemary, thyme)
Garlic powder or minced garlic
Seeds (sesame, sunflower, flax)
Whole wheat flour (replace up to 30% of the flour)
Tips for Success
Use lukewarm water—not hot—to activate the yeast properly
Don’t overbake; check for a golden crust
Let the bread cool before slicing to maintain texture
For extra crust, lightly brush the top with olive oil before baking
