The Best No-Knead Sandwich Bread Recipe – Soft, Fluffy & Incredibly Easy!
Ingredients You’ll Need
3 ½ cups (440g) all-purpose flour: Provides the structure for our bread.
1 ½ cups (360ml) warm water: Activates the yeast and hydrates the flour.
2 teaspoons sugar: Feeds the yeast and adds a touch of sweetness.
1 ½ teaspoons salt: Enhances the overall flavor.
2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) instant yeast: The leavening agent that makes our bread rise.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Activate the Yeast
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and instant yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy. This indicates that the yeast is active and ready to work its magic.
Tip: Ensure your water is warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
2️⃣ Mix the Dough
Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir with a spoon or spatula until everything is well combined. The dough will be sticky—this is completely normal!
No kneading needed! The dough will develop gluten
