Making a loaf of no knead bread with Flour Riot.

By Sarah Weaver

New Year’s resolutions I hear most from people are the desire to lose weight and get healthy, save money and do more cooking at home.

This recipe for no knead bread is one of my favorite things to make because it’s simple and uses minimal ingredients.

Give it a try and let me know what you think.

WHAT YOU NEED

1 packet active dry yeast

1 ½ tbsp white sugar

1 ¼ cup warm water

3 cups all-purpose flour 

2 tbsp salt

2 tbsp olive oil 

HOW TO MAKE IT

Start by placing warm water into a bowl; stir in sugar, then sprinkle yeast packet on top.

I like to cover with a clean linen towel because it traps the heat. Let this begin to bubble, it usually takes five to 10 minutes.

Use a fork to mix ingredients; add salt and olive oil, whisk again.

Add flour one cup at a time. I prefer to do this with a wooden spoon to make mixing easier. 

You do not have to knead this bread, which is what makes it so easy, just make sure it is well mixed.

Cover with the same linen towel and let it rise for about one hour.

Remove towel, sprinkle the counter with flour and place dough on the surface.

Form it into a loaf, place in a loaf pan, cover and let rise another 30 minutes.

Remove towel and bake in oven at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. 

Enjoy!
