No-Knead Italian Sesame Seed Bread… baked 4 ways (super easy… no machines)

This video demonstrates how to make no-knead Italian sesame bread four ways…
(1) Boule in a Dutch oven
(2) Sandwich bread in a bread pan
(3) Sandwich bread in a “poor man’s Dutch oven”
(4) Dinner rolls in a jumbo muffin pan
It’s the same no-knead dough… baked 4 different ways.
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 for the bread (that’s right… 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

Wonderful... I love how easy you make it to understand :)

2021-03-21 💗 🍞🥖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

[@miriamramos5011]

Thanks for your ideas!

[@denisandelainelafreniere8127]

Steve, I used to make bread by kneading it, then I bought a bread machine and finally I found you on You tube. I haven’t used my bread machine in a couple of years and I bake bread 3 times a week. Your instructions are so clear and my bread comes out beautifully every time. My grandchildren only want grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch made with my home made bread. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and love of baking. Elaine

[@debitcredits6886]

Steve you are so gentle in the way you speak and in your touch with what you do. You must have had the nicest parents. I love your videos and making all sorts of breads. But your videos are so soothing and enjoyable to watch. I use them with my little niece and nephew. They're very good for teaching children big and little.

[@Nyx773]

Thank you Steve for providing multiple baking techniques! 🍞 My notes: Rack in lower 1/3 of oven: . 6:16 Cast Iron Dutch Oven: Proof 30-60 minutes.

Rack in middle of the oven, 450F for 15 minutes

[@Sebastopolmark]

GREAT recipe Steve. As always, I like the fact that you mix the dough in real time. The viewers can see how easy it is to make No-Knead bread. Keep those vid's coming.

[@artbarn2624]

Steve, I have your book and I've baked bread using a few of your recipes, all with great success. Yesterday I wanted an Italian bread to go with our ravioli dinner, so I baked this Italian Sesame Bread. It was delicious served warm, with a thin, slightly crispy crust! I used the turbo method, so I increased the yeast to 1-1/4 teaspoons. I was pressed for time, so after the first rise, I sprayed my Dutch oven with canola oil and sprinkled sesame seeds on the bottom. I degassed the dough and just dumped it into my cold, 2-quart Dutch oven, without bothering to shape it. I sprinkled more sesame seeds on top of the dough. After rising for another 30 minutes, I baked it, covered, per your instructions. This bread is every bit as good as the Italian bread I make with traditional methods that is so much more work. Steve's recipes work beautifully. Anyone who has a failure with Steve's recipes needs to look at your ingredients and your oven. If your flour is old, it could be rancid and the bread will taste terrible. If your yeast is expired, the bread cannot rise. If you use water that is too hot (over 140 degrees F), you'll kill the yeast before it has a chance to rise your bread. Also, oven settings are not reliable. You can set your oven for 400 degrees F, but it needs to be at that temperature when you begin baking. Use a $5 oven thermometer to confirm that your oven is fully preheated and has reached the correct temperature before you put your dough in the oven.

[@Nyx773]

Thank you for all those useful tips. I'd also like to add: - If your water doesn't taste good straight out of the tap, then use filtered or bottled water - Store all your ingredients in air-tight containers and in a cool place (I use the refrigerator in the summer)

[@oneitalia2312]

@@Nyx773 Great addition about the water! Thank you on behalf of everyone reading this.

[@Nyx773]

@@oneitalia2312 You're welcome! I have also started to use filtered water for boiling my pasta. It does make a difference.

[@oneitalia2312]

@@Nyx773 indeed, it would make a huge difference (and don't nobody mess with my pasta! LOL)

[@patriciaromanowski7100]

Just took it out of my oven. I used the poor mans dutch oven receipt and regular flour because I did not have bread flour. I only baked it for 5 minutes after taking the top off. I have never had a loaf of home made bread look so perfect. It filled the top half almost full. Smells fantastic. Thank you for this supper easy method, instructions, and receipt!!!!! 🤗

[@bpp325]

I've made several of Steve's artisan bread recipes. They're all spot on. There's nothing better than bread made fresh and eaten warm from the oven. This is good eats. Thanx Steve.

[@alisongordon2]

I followed this recipe as per the video, using the poor man's dutch oven technique, and it made a delicious loaf of bread! Thanks Steve. The only change I had to make was to proof the loaf the second time for 1 1/2 hours since it is still pretty cold here in Wisconsin and the loaf didn't rise that quickly. I greatly appreciate all of your videos and careful instruction!

[@KagakuGakusei]

I haven't seen a new video for a while, I hope everything is ok. I love your channel.

[@latun91]

Thank you very much Mr. Steve. You really deserve more subscribers. I haven't bought bread ever since I started watching your video. Your recipes really work. You saved me money!

[@irairod5160]

Sir, if I could give your videos a million stars, I would. I just made a sesame loaf using your PMDO method, and it's spectacular! So good in its simplicity! My pans are Wilton Advance Select (9.25 x 5.25 inches) and have a wider, flatter lip at each short side, which I found to be perfect to accommodate the same kind of large binder clips you used in this video. I'm thrilled with the results and very grateful you decided to share your bread making passion with the world. Thank you!

[@rachellearcaro1984]

Steve I love how easy these techniques are - I especially love the turbo method of proofing in the oven with the oven light on - genius! Thanks so much!

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

[@WhotKnot]

Yay, your back missed you and the recipes, so happy when you popped up in my feed😁

[@ticktock01]

I followed your recipe exactly except I used everything bagel seasoning instead of sesame seeds. The bread came out beautiful and delicious.

[@gardengalsu]

Thank you for another great tutorial! I'd *toast the seeds that go into the dough* for greater flavor. The seeds outside the loaf, don't need toasting as they will toast when baking.

[@macnutz4206]

I made this in a bread pan last night, first time I used a bread pan instead of the dutch oven. It is much easier to slice. So far, the Italian sesame is the favourite of the breads I have made so far. The olive loaf is also very popular but that one is for special occasions. For every day bread, this is favourite, to date. One is in second proofing right now. We have not bought bread this month. I have been baking bread every day. It is easy to do with a bit of planning. Tomorrow, I am getting some whole wheat flour. I understand that whole wheat goes rancid in about six months. Assuming that is true, shelf dates are very important. Thanks to you I am saving money, having fun, and having great bread, fresh from the oven, every night.

[@gladtidings4all]

Macnutz420 I usually store my flours in half gallon wide mouth mason jars. I fill the mason jar half way with flour I use a wooden mallet rounded flat end and pound it packed. I keep filling the jar and pound it packed. I fill to the head inch spaced of the jar rim. Leave that inch head space. And I crunch a dry clean coffee filter. With a dry towel wipe any flour dust if any put the canning lid and put the mason jar wide mouth vacuum sealer adapter connect my vacuum seal hose and vacuum seal my jar. I do this with every dry powder goods- sugar, salt, baking soda, etc. Even my dry pasta, rice, dry beans what ever I want to vacuum seal. All my dry goods are vacuumed sealed in mason jars no plastic or boxes in my pantry and pest free. You can also use the atlas mason jars that come in Classico spaghetti jars just buy a regular size jar sealer adapter. They cost $10 each. My pantry looks so pretty and organized.

[@iluminameluna]

If you use up what you buy fairly quickly, it's easier to store your flour, any flour, in your freezer. I double zip lock bag each 5lb pkg of flour and stick it in the freezer. At least the whole wheat and graham flour (which is coarser than regular whole wheat). I use less of those than AP or bread flour, which is the only reason to freeze it.

[@Nyx773]

To reiterate and expand upon the other 2 comments: Store all food in air-tight containers. Glass and metal are far superior to plastic. Storing in a glass container with a metal lid could keep it for several years whereas plastic is only good for a few months to 2 years. I also use mason jars for all my food storage, but I don't do the vacuum sealing. Maybe I would if I bought in bulk. In the summer, I store most of my food in the fridge.

[@marotigreta748]

I've been watching your amazing videos in the past months and this was the first and yet only rolls I made with your no-knead method. Amazing, simply amazing. Rolls are light and the recipe is forgiving enough to replace half the flour with whole wheat flour. And the muffin tin idea is just simply brilliant.

Steve, your recipes and methods rock. Like many of us, I’ve been trying my hand at sourdough lately. I had two starters taking up space in the fridge, one of which was last fed well over a month ago. It was only 1/4 of a cup, but with the memories of pandemic-related flour shortages fresh in my mind, I couldn’t bring myself to toss it. I tried this recipe, substituting the 1/4 cup of old starter for the yeast with no other modifications. To my astonishment, the dough tripled in size during its overnight proof. I baked it in an enameled cast iron Dutch oven; it rose beautifully, look, smells, and tastes wonderful. Thank you Steve!

[@westcoaststacker569]

I went through 125lbs of bread flour since watching Steve's videos. Family is always happy. I used his basic no-knead recipe and will replace 1/2cup flour with a cup of cheese, cheese/jalapeno, raisin. chocolate chips, cranberries, apple/cinnamon the recipe is very forgiving. To add to the artisan look I sometimes divide the dough, dust with flour and drop into the bread pan causing the top to be more textured.
