No-Knead Cinnamon Raisin Bread (updated) super easy… no machines

Homemade fresh from the oven cinnamon raisin bread is a great way to start your day. And, when guests stay overnight, my wife wants them to wake up to the aroma of fresh from the oven cinnamon raisin bread filling the house. This video demonstrates how to make no-knead cinnamon raisin bread in a “poor man’s Dutch oven” (PMDO).
I used two OXO Good Gripe Non-Stick Pro Loaf Pans (8-1/2” x 4-1/2”) for my PMDO.
Bread making doesn’t get any easier than this… no mixer or bread machine (I’ll make it in a glass bowl with a spoon)… no-kneading (Mother Nature will do the kneading for me)… “hands-free” technique (I won’t even touch the dough with my hands)… no shaping (I’ll let the bakeware shape the bread for me). It doesn’t get any easier than this.
Thanks - Steve

[@stevedoolanTacoma]

I have been watching Steve's videos for about 10 days or so. I ordered the book ( 28 Popular No-Knead Breads) from Amazon and it came today. My wife saw me reading it and asked me to make raisin bread so I followed this recipe in Steve's book. I used the Turbo method with the PMDO. My bread pans were not deep enough so the bread expanded to touch the top pan and it filled both pans perfectly. It looked weird but WOW it's the best tasting raisin bread I have ever had. It's very moist, almost like desert breads. Every other raisin bread recipe I consulted had butter and milk, amazingly this recipe calls for no fat added to the dough. Good book, good recipe, just 27 more to go.

[@WitchyPoo411]

I just watched a guy take 5 hours to make fancy bread. This is more my speed. Easy peasy. The homemade dutch ovens with clamps is genius. 🤔

[@sandracarli1110]

The longer the dough rests, the better digestible it is ;)

[@pavel9652]

A lot of bread can be done without time-consuming needing and proofing. I make my own sourdough bread, actually more like sourdough Italian focaccia, in just 15 minutes + plus the time spent rising in the form. You trade some flavor and strong gluten structure, but the main sourdough flavor is there and it can be topped with olives, herbs, tomatoes, onion, spinach, you name it ;) I can bake fresh bread every day, almost by the way of eating breakfast. The clamps he is using have to be heat-resistant.

[@rick262]

I just made this and I'm having some warm bread with butter now. Amazing. I've been having different cinnamon raisin breads and bagels for breakfast for years and this is by far the best one yet. It has a bit of a crust like a rustic loaf but it's super moist inside and there's a nice chewiness to the bread. Thanks for a great recipe. I'll be making this one again and again.

[@zackblake1411]

I tried this today and let me tell you it was EXCELLENT! It was unimaginably good!! Everyone in the house loved it!!! So easy. Thanks for the video.

[@marymaryquitecontrary9765]

Aloha from Hawaii🌺🤙🍹 The biggest change I've made to baking bread since coming across Steve's videos is stirring with the tail end of the wooden spoon🥄🥄🥄 Crazy, it's such a little thing but soooooo much easier to stir & clean... Mahalo Plenty 🍍🤙🌴

[@crossdrawjohn821]

FYI.. Try spraying the spoon handle with a cooking spray like Pam. It works even better. John. Arizona.

I am just finding Steve, because someone mentioned him, while commenting on another persons site. I have to admit, him stirring with the handle both fascinated and puzzled me. ha. I am going to keep watching as well as order his book …

Steve's No knead bread recipes are the best. Easy to understand and makes great bread. I've been watching his videos for years and have made almost every one of his No knead breads. They really are no fail recipes.

[@Ouroneacrefarm133]

Hi Steve, thanks for this video. I used your raisin bread recipe as a spring board for my own, modifying to my own taste. The poor man's dutch oven is super interesting. I've made no knead bread many times in a round 3 qt pyrex bowl with a cover that we've had for over 30 years, but I like your idea for a traditional loaf shape. Anyway, on the raisin bread, I decided I wanted something sweeter, so I used 3 T brown sugar + 2 T maple syrup. For spices I used 2 t cinnamon, 1/4 t nutmeg and 1/4 t cardamom. I used half dark raisins and half golden raisins. I added 2 T butter. The result is out of this world delicious. The aroma while it was baking put me in orbit 🙂. Thanks again.

[@sedighehrowhani5174]

Hi Steve; I've been watching and making your breads since the beginning of your video's. your recipes are fantastic and your techniques are unique. I also watch baking bread on you tube from other people. None of them are as easy as yours and all of them talk too much and make their video long . From your video I learned a lot. You are teaching from your heart . You are making love loaf of bread . And this is important. you are kind, generous, and humble. I'm glad you are updating your video's, that give us to see you back and teach your wonderful techniques and knowledge. I wish you and your family the best. Stay well and enjoy your life.

Just made this (overnight) and baked it in time for breakfast. I was a bit concerned about using the extra yeast as I’ve only previously used 1/4 tsp for No-Knead plain bread with the same quantity of flour. However, it turned out really beautiful and soft inside with a delicious crust ( I wanted to upload photo here but can’t see how/ if it’s possible) So I guess the explanation about cinnamon retarding the fermentation was spot on! 😉 My dough was a lot wetter than in the video and It filled my Dutch oven with no room for ‘oven spring’ so I left the lid off and added a bowl of water to the oven to generate steam instead (for a nice crust ), And it still turned out great! Thanks for the recipe and video Steve , this will be on my breakfast menu now! 👍👏
