Dough Ready in 1 Hour! Authentic Italian Bread—No Kneading, Quick and Easy
There’s nothing quite like the aroma of freshly baked bread filling your kitchen. If you’ve ever wanted to make authentic Italian bread but felt intimidated by the long fermentation times and kneading process, this recipe is for you! In just one hour, you can have a crispy, golden loaf with a soft and airy interior—all without kneading. Let’s dive into this foolproof method!
Why This Recipe Works
This recipe uses a high-hydration dough, meaning there’s more water content than traditional bread dough. This allows the gluten to develop naturally during resting, removing the need for kneading. The result? A light, airy texture with a delicious crispy crust.
Ingredients
To make one large loaf or two smaller ones, you’ll need:
3 ½ cups (450g) all-purpose or bread flour
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar (optional, helps with browning)
1 packet (7g) instant yeast (or active dry yeast)
1 ½ cups (360ml) warm water (not too hot, around 100-110°F or 38-43°C)
2 tablespoons olive oil (optional, for extra flavor and softness)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Activate the Yeast (If Using Active Dry Yeast)
If you’re using instant yeast, you can skip this step!
In a small bowl, mix the warm water with the sugar and yeast.
Let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
This ensures the yeast is alive and ready to work its magic!
Step 2: Mix the Dough (No Kneading Required!)
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
Pour in the yeast mixture (or just the warm water if using instant yeast).
Add olive oil (if using).
Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix everything together until a shaggy, sticky dough forms.
Tip: Don’t worry about making it smooth—just ensure no dry flour remains!
