Ah yes! You’re talking about no-knead, egg-free bread—super easy and perfect for beginners. Here’s a simple version you can whip up at home:
🍞 Easiest No-Knead, Egg-Free Bread
Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (or bread flour)
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar (optional, helps yeast)
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 1/4 cups warm water
Instructions:
- Mix: In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Pour in warm water and stir until a sticky dough forms. No kneading needed!
- First Rise: Cover with plastic wrap or a towel and let it rise 8–12 hours at room temperature (overnight works great).
- Shape: After rising, lightly flour your hands and a surface. Shape the dough into a rough loaf—don’t worry about perfection.
- Second Rise (Optional but Better): Let it rise 30–60 minutes while you preheat the oven to 450°F / 230°C.
- Bake: Place dough in a preheated oven-safe pot (like a Dutch oven) or on a baking sheet. Cover if using a pot, bake 30 minutes, uncover, and bake another 10–15 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool: Let bread cool before slicing—it will be easier to cut and the texture will set.
💡 Tip: You can add herbs, olives, or seeds to the dough for extra flavor without changing the method.
If you want, I can give a super-fast 3-ingredient version that’s literally the easiest bread ever—no yeast, no kneading, no eggs. Do you want me to share that?
