No-Knead American Baguettes... (Easy... No Mixer... No Yeast Proofing)

This is the world's easiest bread recipe. 4 ingredients... no mixer... no kneading... no yeast proofing... no Dutch oven... great taste. All you need is a baking stone, pizza paddle, parchment paper and the desire to eat fresh from the oven bread.
The no-knead bread making method has revolutionized bread baking. The average family can now have bakery quality artisan bread fresh from the oven in their own homes with little or no-kneading... Mother Nature does the kneading for you. No mixer... ingredients can be combined with a spoon... it's almost as easy as easy as making a bowl of Campbell's soup.
I understand what Italian bread, French bread and baguettes are and I understand the proper techniques for making those breads, but we live in a new world and we should embrace new ideas. Instead of trying to emulate the bread methods of the past we should focus on the goal... to make great tasting quality bread with methods and techniques that fit into our busy schedules.
Thanks - Steve

I was skeptical of this method. I tried it and OMG! It works. It really, really works. I made the dough last night, and brought it to church pot luck. It was a hit! This kid says it's even better than the bread his mom buys from the store. Thank you for sharing this recipe and the "no Knead" ," no need" for mixers and gadgets. The easiest bread I ever made.

[@cnguyendo2000]

I love to eat baguettes and always wish that I can make them. I just finished baking them today. It turned out delicious and just like the French bakery. Your instructions are very clear and easy to follow. Thank you, Steve for the recipe.

[@whoobonhooaglo]

Wow! I just baked my first batch for my hubby and I, and it is Frenchman approved! A great taste, flavor, and crunch! I cant believe how little yeast and effort was put into such a delicious baguette. Thank you for sharing, I look forward to trying out your other recipes.

[@klarak3523]

Hi Steve, I just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you for your videos. I discovered this method of bread baking from your clips here on youtube. I used to make a different type of "no-knead" bread, which you in fact had to knead. I now make the most amazing breads thanks to you! I really appreciate your nice clear way of explaining each step. I have always loved making bread but now it is even more enjoyable. Thank you again and look forward to more of your videos in future.

[@linnettanavarro1466]

Steve, This is such an awesome method. You have turned breadmaking from an arduous chore (due to the kneading) into an absolute joy! It is so easy I have my 9-yr-old making bread weekly. Thanks you so much!

[@twallace71a]

I love this channel. Steve is the Bob Ross of bread making.

[@lagigilupe510]

MUY BUENO! Very good! Love this bread and for me that’s good because I am picky. Love just the instructions clear and right to the point. Gracias.... thank you 😊 Steve

[@joeydbreck]

Genius reply. Agreed!

[@lorill2631]

Hey Steve and I hope you and yours are well. I’ve been making your bread for years and I’m very grateful to you for teaching me. As a side note, I love the comment that you made about living in a new world and we should embrace new ideas… as long as the goal is achieved… thanks again!

[@annacacheiro9983]

Love how simple yet delish your recipes are! Another one for the books...👍

[@debywine3199]

Steve it's almost 1 am and your recipe looked so easy, I had to add it to the other 2 I have on the counter proofing now. A 3 day proof of a rye, a No-Knead Sourdough with Olives and Rosemary, and now these baguettes. My oven will be busy tomorrow! Thanks so much, looking forward to a fresh roll for my sandwich at lunch.

[@themontephone875]

Deby W ...Ms. W... I have to ask you...how did they turn out? Does it taste perfectly delicious? Please advise. T y.

[@nievesescobar1924]

I usually don't leave comments for anyone that I follow, I tend to be the quiet admirer...but I gotta say to love your craft so much and not give you any props almost seems like a crime. I tip my hat of to you sir 👍👏 not only do you have a gift but you share it in a way that is so simple to understand....love it ❤ Thank you.

[@missyd7749]

I just love how you make it look so easy to make bread. Can't wait to get started.

Thank you Steve!!!! I gave some of your books to my daughter. You are the best!!!

[@amirabarsum6067]

So easy , and blessed backing, I love ❤️ backing the bread 🥖, thank you for the simple process too

[@mamacamano7507]

By far the easiest way to make baguettes. I'll give it a try. Thank you for sharing!

[@ramaajagadeesan2400]

Your recipes and demos are so simple and inspiring....thank you so so much👍👍

[@elenagoh3554]

I use a round pizza stone and it works too. My baguettes came out with thin crispy crust and soft and chewy on the inside. Had to bake for 30 minutes and turn them over to bake the underside for a crispy crust all round. Thanks for the detailed instructions, Steve.

[@Fernando-ox5mo]

Great recipe. I liked your way to use the scissors. Thank you!

[@thehandyhouse4412]

This is a wonderful video- so clear, so informative. Super job!

[@AcornHillHomestead]

I know this is an old recipe but Holy Cow. Just made this to serve with tortellini tonight. In a word YUMMY! I have made several of your breads and they are all fabulous. They turn out every time. I have even started a loaf of herb parmesan bread dough in the evening and traveled with it to our vacation house the next day just to have it right away!!! I haven’t bought a loaf of bread in months! I make at least 2-3 loaves a week. Pizza dough and cinnamon rolls are fab too!! Thank you so much!

[@scottwasik79]

Steve I have watched so many videos andby far I have making so delicious bread I've ever tasted you are the man out of all the videos I've watched thank you very much Steve you're the bomb

[@AcornHillHomestead]

Three years later and I am still not buying bread. Your recipes are awesome! Now that we live rural and with the virus still with our country, these recipes are such a blessing!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Blessings! 💕

[@artisanbreadwithsteve]

If you have any difficulty shaping your dough, let the dough rest for 15 minutes. The yeast will go to work and soften the dough making it easier to work. Steve

[@themontephone875]

I’m glad I saw your “updated “ recipes first. Both are fabulous...

[@tamaracharland1036]

Thank you for demystifying the art of bread making. Since lockdown I have been baking 2-3 times per week.

[@gracearmstrong990]

Steve, what can I say ... YOU ROCK!!!!!

[@KelseytheLetteredDandy]

Hey Mr. Steve! I'm not sure if you'll see this comment, but I just made these baguettes today. I made mine a little wider and shorter to make them look like the loaves of bread from a video game I like, Skyrim. I brushed the tops with a little butter and honey as soon as they came out of the oven and they were lovely. I've never been successful with baking from scratch before, but I am so proud of these. Thank you so much!

[@anglu5494]

I love this channel!! I have made the pizza recipe and sent it to a few friends and family members! I tried the artisan roll/no knead rolls it’s amazing!!

[@CookingWithBenoit]

Thank you for this video on baguettes in America. Just what I need when I visit Michigan.

[@janettejones2125]

Thank you so much for this recipe and easy to follow video. Its always a bit hit and miss for me when making bread but these baguettes turned out great and tasted amazing 😊

[@florankya5836]

Thanks so much for a wonderful recipes.

[@homemclaughlin7830]

If you want a crustier bread and don't have a baking stone..maybe add a few ice cubes in the bottom of the oven to create moisture/steam so the bread comes out crispier. I do that for my loaves.

[@maunster3414]

Great idea, thanks.

[@march6693]

You are amazing. Thank u for sharing. I have always been afraid to make bread. I am not afraid anymore.

Thanks for your awesome video! Really simple and easy to follow, detailed, and looks great. Can't wait to try it!

[@CaribsurfDon]

tried your recipe for the 1st time, and I have to say. it was really , really good. I cannot find any decent breads where I live and this recipe is a game changer. I still have to tweak a couple things, and I think my oven needs to be hotter than 450 or keep the bread in for longer than 15 mins, but the baguettes came out a little chewy and airy and tasted great! Thank you for your easy to follow, thorough video

[@seaotter1975]

I watched this video last night and made some today. OMG! This was the best no-knead bread ever! I'm very impressed with this recipe and it's so easy! So glad I found your video on this... now I'm looking forward to making those pretzels you posted. :) Thank you for posting this video! Now I don't have to buy the store bought crusty breads... Thanks! :)

love it! thank you! so easy!

[@buddy2828]

Thanks for your wonderful channel and easy to make bread and rolls recipe.

[@DavidMaurand]

This turned out beautifully, with splendid crumb! Rather than four 8" loaves, I was able to get two 16" batards because I have a particularly roomy sheetpan (with a heat sink on the bottom). Note to others - this is an artisan bread, the no-knead technique combined with bread or a.p. flour makes for more structure than the traditional French or storebought kind. (read: it's better!)

[@kimalton6556]

I love to watch these videos. Meditative

[@autumnsky8647]

The Best! Thank you!

[@SusieCueZ]

I watched your video and I'm going to give this A shot! I think what I'd like to do is make three baguettes and then the fourth one I'm going to make 3-4 smaller ones for hot dog buns and see how that works out! Thank you so much! Your videos are awesome!

[@SrSrk98]

awesome video....lovely recipe..thanks a million:)

[@vickierogers9219]

Steve, you make the BEST breads. Love your technique, recipes, and videos. My favorite is the American Baguettes. Any chance of you creating a gluten free version? That would be great. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@mariafurtado7572]

I love the way you explain yourself and your bread looks so delicious.lam going to try it and then let you know. Thank you for the incentive..

[@lizalvarezllamas]

Hi, did you try it?

[@chriskeuhlen7372]

Well it's today 11-20-2016 and your informative and complete instructions made me the hit of the evening. Fresh banquettes with vegan chill. A meal to die for. Thank You!!

[@kathychandler7803]

I am vegan. Did you use the egg wash or did you skip that part?

[@hemasubramanian1338]

Hi. Me a vegan and want to know if we can skip the egg wash? Steve, great explanation and gorgeous looking breads. But request you to reply us too. Thanks in advance.

[@phyllis3832]

I'm not a vegan so do use eggs. Have you tried brushing with olive oil?

[@AChighur]

@@hemasubramanian1338 Egg isn't needed to bake bread. You can simply put a bowl with water in your oven when you turn it on : the steam will settle on the dough, delay the crust formation and allow a better spreading. It will also make the crust more glossy and crusty. Remove the water bowl when your bread start to brown, and let the bread cooking finish.

[@murieltaylor4699]

That is wonderful, I am going to try and see if I can do it .

[@Tazbocat]

I am glad I dont know where you live. ..lol I would be at your door begging for bread! you make it look so easy that I am inspired to try. thank you for making videos for a new baker wanna be!

[@ginacable5376]

Another winner Steve.

[@artisanbreadwithsteve]

No, you don't need parchment paper... it makes it easier to transport the dough, but you can proof the dough directly on the cookie sheet. Make sure you spray the cookie sheet with no-stick spray first. Steve

[@pragawa]

Hi, Steve! I'm happy to inform you that I now use an equal mix of all purpose flour and whole meal flour. The breads bake very well. Thank you one more time for the recipe and the demo. ~Pragati India

[@SeragElayouby]

Good job and so easy thank you

[@fayutang]

💗 2021-03-22 🍞🥖Steve Gamelin taught me to bake my own bread. I have been making them for almost three years, I mix with dried garlic powder, all kinds of dried herbs, curry, nuts, seeds etc. but also, cinnamon, honey or with extra sugar then you get sugar bread :-) No one makes bread so fast, simpel and much easier as 'Steve from no knead bread'. I thank you a lot Steve😃 Much loaf love from the Netherland

EHAT IS SO COOL I ILL BE TRYING THIS IN THE MORNING THANKS SO MUCH.

[@1operamom]

I learned something new there, about letting the dough rest for 10 minutes to allow the yeast to regas a bit, thus allowing a more flexible dough, thanks!

[@tonylau5922]

I know it is almost impossible to make authentic french bagueetes in America, but I am really satisfy with this american version bagueetes, tender, soft and full of flavor, only the crisp crust is missing though. Thanks Steve.

[@feliciaalbanese3338]

Thank you Steve!

[@pheadrasfall]

my first ever no knead dough is on it's second proofing all seems good at this point dough handled nicely , first proof did well i set my dough bowl in microwave with door shut seems good environment for proofing, I don't have dough/scrapers yet, but a cheap plastic clean putty knife worked wonders for giving the proofed dough a turn on floured board. and also for cutting the dough .I might add the finished round dough ball felt beautiful , now must invest in pizza paddle, for now I put parchment paper cut to size of my oven stone and placed on the top of a floured sturdy pizza box praying it will transfer my dough onto hot stone like a paddle ,parchment might be the saving grace..this is actually fun and starting a new batch today....thanks so much steve can't wait to see and taste the end result.. next will be the skillet to heavy pot round loaf method
