Short History
No-knead bread became popular in the early 2000s as home bakers rediscovered slow fermentation methods that produce artisan-style loaves without labour.

This no-knead bread recipe is proof that baking does not require expensive ingredients or complicated steps. With only flour, water, oil, and yeast, you can produce bakery-style loaves in your own kitchen. The long resting time replaces kneading, allowing gluten to develop naturally.
Free from eggs and butter, this bread suits vegan and dairy-free diets while maintaining a soft crumb and golden crust. It is perfect for breakfast toast, sandwiches, or serving warm with olive oil and herbs.
