This no-knead bread recipe uses just a few simple ingredients and minimal effort and the result is a beautiful, crusty loaf with a tender inside. The secret is using a small amount of yeast and letting the dough slowly rise overnight to develop a rich, deep flavour. It will give you an artisanal bakery-style loaf with minimal effort.

Baked this today and turned out amazing! First time baking bread, as I was always intimidated to try. But it was so easy and looked super impressive out of the oven! This will be a go to recipe for sure.

Can I try this with gluten-free Measure for Measure flour? I love your recipes, but I'm gluten free.

Heyy Sarah ☺️ we haven't tried it ourselves, so we can't say for certain. Baking is a bit of a science, and we suspect the loaf will turn out denser and a bit less airy! If you're up for experimenting, a mix of gluten-free flours typically works better than using just one gluten-free flour on its own (such as Bob's Red Mill GF flour blends).
In the meantime, we'll add gluten-free breads to our list of future recipe ideas to explore 🫶

Thank you! I would be so glad if you have gluten-free bread recipes!

Do you plan to start testing recipes with sourdough? I have perfect ones for (Czech)bread and waffles however still seeking a good one for whole seeds bread and baguettes :)

Hey! Do you think it will work if I try it with rye flour?
PUL Team - May 21, 2026, 12:51 a.m.
Heyy Savvas, hmm you could experiment with rye flour! Rye has less gluten than bread flour, so the loaf will likely turn out denser and a bit less airy.
We’d recommend starting by replacing only part of the bread flour (for example, 25 to 50%) rather than all of it for the best texture and to see how the recipe turns out. You may also need a touch more flour if the dough feels extra wet. Let us know if you give it a try 🤗

Hiya, is it possible to make this bread in air fryer which has baking option ?

Hiii SD, we haven’t made bread in an air fryer before, so we can’t say for sure how it would turn out 😊 if your air fryer has a baking function, it could be fun to experiment with though!
We'd recommend lowering the temperature a little since air fryers tend to run hotter than conventional ovens, and keeping an eye on the top so it doesn’t brown too quickly. Using a small oven-safe dish with a lid (if it fits) might also help recreate that nice crusty bakery-style texture. Let us know if you test it out 🫶
