Introduction

Want freshly baked bread without all the fuss?
This simple no-knead bread recipe is inexpensive, light, and incredibly easy to make.
No kneading, no eggs, no butter—just mix, wait, and bake.
The result? A crispy crust and a soft, fragrant inside—just like from the bakery!

🥣 Ingredients (for one loaf)

• 500 g flour (wheat or whole wheat flour)
• 400 ml lukewarm water
• 1 teaspoon dry yeast
• 1.5 teaspoon salt
• Optional: seeds, kernels or herbs for extra flavour

Preparation

1. Make the dough:
   Combine the flour, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Add the water and stir with a spoon or spatula until the dough comes together.
   The dough will be sticky—that’s how it should be! Cover the bowl with a cloth or plastic wrap.
2. Resting time:
   Let the dough rest at room temperature for 8–12 hours.
   During this time, the yeast will do all the work and create airiness naturally.
3. Preheat oven:
   Preheat the oven to 230°C and place a cast iron pan with a lid (or oven dish) in the oven to heat up.
4. Shaping:
   Lightly flour a work surface. Scoop out the dough and gently shape it into a ball (do not knead!).
