Who doesn’t love a low-effort, high-reward bake? Even more so when it comes to baking bread.
No-knead bread requires less effort, less stress and takes up less time. While these recipes take more time to prepare, most of the time, they are passive. You can still go about your day, run errands and get a good night’s rest while the dough rests.
Are you ready to give up kneading for a while? These seven amazing no-knead pieces of bread are great — from classic, crusty boules to sweet swirled Brioche.
Ridiculously Simple No-Knead Sticky Buns
These cinnamon-packed sticky buns can be made in a few minutes and are very easy to make. The dough can be kept in the refrigerator for up to three days after rising. A bonus: The recipe makes three batches of buns. You can enjoy one batch right now, and the rest will be available in the freezer for sticky buns when you need them. Future, you are welcome.
No-Knead Crusty White Bread
This is the right recipe for yeast baking if you are new to it. This recipe is suitable for anyone who is a pro at yeast baking. This recipe is simple to stir the dough, but it can also be developed with a rest in the refrigerator (that can last up to seven days). It’s a classic no-knead recipe that shows that just a few ingredients can make a crusty, artisan-style loaf every time.
Artisan No-Knead Pizza Crust
It can be overwhelming to plan meals for the week. What if I said you could make pizza any night by mixing the dough in five minutes on Sunday morning? The dough should be allowed to rise at room temp for one day. Once it is ready, please place it in the refrigerator, where it can rest for up six days. You can remove the dough at any time to complete shaping and baking, so you are always only 60 minutes away from fresh-baked pizza.
Strawberry Swirl No-Knead Brioche
This buttery Brioche is smothered in strawberry jam and topped with a tender crumb. It’s hard to believe that so much work makes bread as beautiful and delicious looking as this.
No-Knead Garlic Cheese Flatbread
This yeasted flatbread recipe is easy to make: Combine the batter and pour it into a 9×13″ pan. Give it time to rest, or overnight, and voilà! A delicious appetizer that’s almost worth the calories of the bread.
No-Knead Chocolate-Cherry Pecan Bread
The delightful combination of tart cherries, chocolate chips, and toasted pecans is matched by a mix of all-purpose, wheat, and whole-grain flours that create sweet and nutty flavours. The recipe takes only a few minutes to prepare. You can split the time into several days by dividing the active prep.
No-Knead Cheese Burger Buns
This recipe will give you a more gourmet take on the humble hamburger bun. It calls for the addition of cheese powder (or shredded cheese) and onion powder. You will need to mix the dough and divide it into bite-sized portions quickly. The rest of the work is done after an hour.
