Ultimate Introduction to No-Knead Bread (4 Ingredients... No Yeast Proofing... No Mixer)

[@Torbis101]

Please do not ever delete these wonderful videos from the internet. I keep referring to them again & again.

[@jacquelynriley9038]

I found ur site a few weeks ago. I have on average made several loaves each week. My friends and neighbors can’t wait for me to call and say “ come and get it!” I am going to buy ur cookbook. I plan on owning each one. You are a hero in my world!!!

[@jimwoods8998]

Just wanted to thank you for all your teaching. I have depended on your videos for years. This is my favorite recipe.

[@RealPeterGunn]

Steve, I have watched so many "simple" bread recipes that my head is spinning. However, I decided to try a few more when I ran into yours. I no can make bread because of you. I can not thank you enough for this video. I'm also going to purchase your cookbook. You have helped me beyond imagination, Thanks!!!

[@amazinggracefields]

I just ordered his, How to make no-knead bread in a skillet.

[@agrim93077]

Oh

[@Ptpau1970]

I so love this recipe of Steves for Artisan Bread! It’s so good and makes great sandwiches! His Cinnamon Raisin Bread, Mediterranean Bread, Italian Bread, and his Oatmeal Cookie Recipes are among my favorites! Thank you Steve for the time you take to make these videos and teaching us the true art of making homemade bread. You’re appreciated more than you’ll ever know! Hope you and your family are doing well and staying safe!♥️

[@adelelashmawy2156]

Your recipe is out of this world !!! I baked it tonight. I let it sit 24 hours and im telling you . Its fabulous! Never ate bread like this before. Thank you so much . P.s. i mixed another one tonight for tomorrow ! Lol....! Thanx so much !

[@sherrychipwoman60]

Hi Steve. So glad I found you and your recipes! The way you film the recipes is awesome. No silly music and you keep things simple for us new bread converts. Since we've all been staying home, I wanted to learn how to make my own bread. You're the one I selected after much research. I've also ordered 2 of your books. I hope you and your family are doing well in these strange times. Thanks Steve! I can now say, I am a bread maker. :-)

[@zuo2000]

Hi, Steve, I prepared the dough yesterday afternoon and baked the bread today at around 11:00. The bread is amazingly tasty. I followed exactly your recipe. I think you would like to know. Thank you so much, Steve!!

[@KSt-nv8eb]

You are a natural teacher, Steve. I enjoy your videos very much. You have me baking bread again. Thank you :)

[@Ptpau1970]

I’ve been making this No Knead Artisan Bread Recipe of Steve’s for the past couple years and it turns out great every time. It’s a great tasting bread with a crispy crust and good crumb texture. I just wish the crust would stay crispy when storing. Great for cold cut sandwiches, toast with spreads, or just by itself. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your video’s and learning from them. The pandemic has really affected and changed the lives of so many people and it’s really taken our lives to a whole new level of living. People are going more back to the basics of baking homemade bread. I couldn’t have learned this art of baking bread at a better time. Thanks Steve! Be well and stay safe.❤️

[@mariroberson-soranch1476]

Just made and tasted my first loaf with this method and recipe and it is the best tasting, fluffiest, and most delicious crust so far, even better than sourdough in my opinion! Totally recommend this one!!!

[@juliacoy-ybarra7953]

Made my bread using your recipe and a dutch oven . Best bread ever. Thank you for making these videos. You're a blessing.

[@billzee-tg8hh]

finally got up the nerve to try this. 10 minutes prep time. Stick it out of the way someplace. Next day into the oven and done in under an hour. My wife loved it. thank you so much

[@deebieg]

You do great videos and have inspired me to make bread! Thank you! May I pass along a tip I got from watching Italian Grandma? She uses a heavy piece of plastic to wrap around her bowl of dough instead of using plastic wrap. It reduces the use of plastic significantly. I use a plastic bag that sunflower bird seed came in. I cut it to lay flat and then use a silicone band bought on Amazon to hold it on. If the plastic is big enough, you can just wrap the bowl. After, I just wash it off, dry, and refold and store in the cabinet for next time.

[@kendmaes]

Awesome recipes with a very simply approach. Out of all the people on here this man is by far my favorite!

[@mollieyaxley8215]

THANK heavens there’s no background music, what a switch off that is.smashing video STEVE, great teacher.

[@isabellabuchanan3446]

Yes sirree! No horrid music - and wonderful instruction!

[@michaelwills9611]

I agree completely, background music is distracting. This guy is great.

[@isabellajones8535]

Also love that Steve is direct and fast. No waiting half the time for the person to quit chattering about this and that - yadda yadda. Just information, direct and easy to follow and out.

[@greendancingshoes]

Agree!

[@jenniferruthholden6672]

These videos are the best; to the point, no irritating and distracting music, both written and aural instructions. Superb. Thank you, Steve

[@janegardener1662]

I didn't have time to make the bread yesterday, so I made the dough in the morning and stuck it in the fridge. I took it out in the late afternoon and let it rise overnight. Formed the loaves, let them rise for 1.5 hours and baked them this morning. Best bread ever! Thanks, Steve for your easy to follow recipes.

[@j.alangibson4733]

Dear Sir your recipe sounds so easy and wonderful that I can’t wait to try it. I noticed it has been nearly 7 years since you uploaded it and I remember listening to it years ago but I have just now come across you finally once again so I quickly saved before I reviewed it this time thanks so much.

[@pritchardhall]

I started using Steve’s method a year ago after seeing this video. I bake a loaf or rolls every weekend because my family demands it. Steve has made me a star! Thank you!!

[@brendasavaria847]

I have made a lot of bread but my husband said this is the best tasting bread I have ever made. And so simple. I make it the night before and cook it when I need it. For either lunch or dinner. Thank you so much. I use to make sour dough bread and it was such a long process. I thank you for making my life easier.

[@gerardlefrancois4746]

I mixed and cooked a home bread for the first time the same way that Steve does it and I did a nice good bread, thank you Steve. It is so easy the way you do it Steve..

[@suzitagroom2869]

My Dad who is in heaven is a beautiful Dad. He adored me. And he was a Chef too. He made wonderful meals for me and my Mum and Children. I miss him. Thanks for sharing your bread recipe.

[@crossdrawjohn821]

After buying your book ive been a bread baking fool. I don't have a plastic spoon so I take a wooden spoon and spray the handle with cooking spray works for me. I made a few mistakes in the beginning and now I'm doing great. YUM - YUM. Every body needs your book it makes baking bread so simple.. Thanks Steve. John from Arizona...

[@artisanbreadwithsteve]

Thanks - Steve

[@popanddonnacollinsworth7741]

I am impressed. Your way is easier and quicker than the way I have been making bread. You are a good teacher Steve. Thanks. Bob (aka: TheOldPhart)

[@hannabaal150]

I liked your use of the dutch oven so much that I bought one. It's a Lodge cast iron, and the lid doubles as a frying pan, as in handles on the side instead of in the middle. I just turn it upside down and it works great; I don't have to worry about getting burned as easily when transferring. It's perfect for bread. Thanks for all the videos, Steve, thanks to you I'm on a roll!

[@jakepeters4370]

Hi Steve, Thanks for your inspiring instruction. I bake a loaf every other day. I add some herbs de province, tarragon, some toasted seeds, pumpkin, sunflower and I throw in a handful of toasted almonds. Wonderful-and buying flour in bulk saves a fortune. I can't get bread like this in a store.

[@JesusisKing222]

Hi Jake, do you add them right in the beginning or put them on top before baking?

[@kristieprice8015]

I love this guy! Simple clear instructions, especially during this crazy time when many of us are trying to make bread for the first time ever!

[@mrsmith8990]

Thanks Steve nice and easy, I like how you don't complicate things.

[@wakeupnow2996]

Steve, you're such a gentle soul. I really hope God blesses you and your family!

[@drl_324]

Made the dough last night, baked it this morning...I will never buy bread again! It turned out fantastic. Thanks again Steve

[@NewEarthWellness]

I made this and wow it is delicious. I put it on a baking stone. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@terryfriedman3556]

I love how much information you give in a concise, educational video. THANK YOU

[@smallfootprint2961]

Seems simple enough. I've tried several recipes with varying results. This is the simplest. Cross your fingers. Thanks for posting, Steve. I like the simple approach.

[@lizbits9339]

I can't believe I made bread and it came out fantastic! Thank you so. much. I don't cook and am terrified of cooking but I have a good friend I wanted to do something for so cooked a meal with this bread for them. I thought at every step I would ruin it but followed the instructions and couldn't believe how fantastic it turned out. Thanks so much!

[@bonsaikathy]

Oh my gosh, this looks just like the bread we used to buy at the bakery in Syracuse, NY. I still buy it when we go up to visit family. I can't wait to try it. Thank you for sharing.

[@srbaynes5406]

Update from my last comment: I made this bread today - in an oval casserole dish as that’s the only vessel I had with a lid - and it’s come out GREAT!! For someone like me who almost had ‘dough phobia’ 🤪, it’s an incredible achievement. I’m fired up now and my husband is also a happy bunny, really enjoying this fresh bread with the butter melting as you spread it... A BIG thank you Steve! I’ll be trying your other bread recipes ASAP. 👍🏼😁

[@MrOlgrumpy]

Brilliant tutorial,made my first [and successful] loaf today,used your method with 2cups wholewheat and one self raising flour,proofed overnight for lunch today,thank you from "down under",stay well.

[@Ptpau1970]

Since you used 2 cups of whole wheat flour, did you add the salt and yeast from Steve’s recipe or was the 1 cup of self rising flour sufficient?

[@RQ2024]

Great video. Thank you. Waiting on the 2nd proof now. My first proof left my dough very loose though it poured out the bowl. Not sure what I did.

[@irairod5160]

Sir, I had never in my life made bread, and following your instructions, baked my first loaf today. It came out spectacular! I had a couple of slices with good olive oil for lunch, and now I'm trying to figure out what kind of soupy-stewy thing I can prepare for dinner. Thank you!

[@Sapphires47]

I would think any kind of homemade soup would be good; beef stew, bean soup, pea soup, or hamburger soup - now I'm hungry!

[@DeaconHipolitoLagares]

Thank you so much!!!! I have done many baguettes and buns and cinnamon for my family and neighbors. Your method is the best. Thank you again, blessings

[@soniavadnjal7553]

I like this baker, like his voice, and certainty. And I'm going to try his recipe.

[@visionree]

I've been trying for a week to follow other people to make good bread. Yours has been successful on my first go! Thanks for showing us the old fashioned way, just like my mother did with the same perfect result.

[@artisanbreadwithsteve]

Thanks - Steve

[@catmom1322]

I made this bread yesterday & I'm happy with the results. My 1st proof, which was supposed to be longer, started the next phase at only 5 hours. the results were perfct. I coated the dough towards the end with olive oil. I also put a few sesame seeds on its top. I would like to try a whole-wheat and/or many-seeded next time.

[@lmeroney9078]

Totally new at Dutch Oven bread baking. Tried someone else's method with dismal results. Fortunately stumbled on Steve's video. Awesome results every time!!! In the process of making Dutch Oven sesame bread at this moment. Anxious to see how it turns out!

[@leahkornpalmer9574]

I love this bread so much, I've been making it almost every week since January. I wanted to tell you about a variation I've been making. I use exactly the ingredients you say in this video, but I add 1/4 cup whole rye flour and a tablespoon of caraway seeds. Then when I turn it out of the bowl the next day, I use rye flour on the surface and add some more caraway seeds on top. I also like to make your exact recipe with sesame seeds added. Thanks so much for this video and recipe!

[@gabriellebudd1166]

thank you Steve for your class on bread making... I love your gentle tone of voice so soothing and you're very direct in explaining everything in a simple manner it's not complicated... You're a great teacher and very therapeutic to the ear thank you God bless you I'm ready to make my bread all because of you and when I have a slice of that bread I'll think of you you're a sweetheart

[@rosemarybaker7320]

Thank you Steve. This was so easy to do. Your voice is so calming.

[@henegar4]

Love this method. I made bread and bake in a cast Iron dutch oven. Turned out awesome. Thank you for posting your techniques.

[@MsKariSmith]

I have to agree, your a great teacher and make it look so easy.

[@lindarhudy7232]

I have learned so much. I have messed up shoulders, and the no-knead method is great for me. Thanks!

Hi Steve, Great video and a great recipe as well. I made the recipe today and the loaf is already gone. The family is clamoring for another loaf of bread! Thanks for all your efforts! Dutch Oven Chef

I have been making No knead Artesian bread for awhile now..but Steve has shown me improved methods.. buying bread dough today.. must get his cookbook

[@alisons1192]

Making this today for the first time. Just done step one so got a while to wait now! Thanks so much for a great, easy video 😁🍞

[@lindamull189]

I really enjoy having learned to bake my own bread. Thank you! A couple months ago, I decided to try something different. Just before I add the water to dry ingredients, I've prepared 3 small tomatoes, par-boiled so the skins will come off easily. I then put tomatoes in blender to puree them, pour pureed tomatoes onto flour mix and then add water and mix in. I use a cast iron pan and have learned to pre-heat oven at 400 degrees instead of 450 degrees so I get a nice brown color where before my bread would come out darker and a harder crust. I've always gotten beautiful bread but now I get a bread with a bite into you'll not forget! Joe would say the bread was great when fresh from the oven but now with the tomatoes added, he compliments the bread always! I slice the bread, butter it and toast it on my flat griddle. We like the bread with tomatoes much better! I decided to send some toasted bread slices fresh from the griddle, individually wrapped in parchment paper & foil wrap for Joe to pass out to his friends at work. One person doesn't like tomatoes and won't touch a ketchup packet but after someone told her it was great tasting, she asked Joe if he still had the bread he'd offered her and turned down. He did. She loved it! I grow my own tomatoes but in the last year, I've been buying tomatoes during the winter, I let them sit and ripen on my counter and then use them in my cooking. I had a thought to try putting tomatoes in my bread mix to see if I could still follow the same proofing method I've learned hoping it would be a success. I've also tried something new with the end bread. I slice it to split it open, I butter and toast it, I then push it down to toast the inside of it and then add mozzarella cheese and flip it down split open to slightly toast the cheese to melt! Wow! As well, each time I bake a bread, I butter the top, flip it upside down onto a plate, butter the bottom and sides and then let cool. My African Grey, RodneyBird has been watching me bake bread for over a year now. I tell him to wait 20 minutes to let cool and I'll give him a piece. Like Joe, RodneyBird loves my tomato bread even better! The bread has a pinkish tint to it and is quite appealing-looking. Even our friend who doesn't like tomatoes was impressed with her warm toasty bread with bits of tomatoes staring up at her but she ate the whole thing (half a slice of a slice), before she went to her job to work! Periodically, I'll send in chocolate chip cookies and sometimes tortillas to work with Joe. I wondered if anyone would turn down the bread Joe had to offer using the words tomato bread but they didn't. One of them said, yeah, anything she makes is good! That was a great compliment! In the last year, I've passed on this channel to friends who are interested and now I'll be passing on the adding of one extra ingredient, tomatoes, to our friends who've been baking this easy to prepare bread! I mentioned my African Grey because when we got him almost 4 years ago, we were told he doesn't like females. He doesn't fly and he has his own space where he free roams...in my kitchen! Egads, huh? Every time I'd be washing dishes and singing as I typically do, he'd sneak up and bite my bare feet. Well, the singing stopped so I'd be alert to the little guy. I started baking bread Nov. 2020 and since then he hasn't bit me! I finally got his love and appreciation via his tummy. I do keep 2 different buckets of water with 2 drops essential oils; anise myrtle, which he loves where he will perch to keep the dander & feathers contained from flying around the kitchen, so don't get grossed out when I offer you any baked goodies or a meal at my table, k? Foremost, I've just started singing again since baking my tomato bread and RodneyBird responds with "Woo!" and we now whistle back and forth in the kitchen together. Oh, and I allow my tomato bread dough to rise 12-24 hours before I do the end process of letting it rise 1 1/2 hours before putting into bake for 30 minutes in my cast iron pan for 30 minutes. I felt like sharing a long-azz story with you all that has been a significant part in my joyous discovery in the baking of bread. Just sayin'!

[@stitch54]

Followed your excellent instructions and made the most wonderful bread ever! Used my cast iron dutch oven to bake it and am amazed with the result from 4 simple ingredients. Many thanks! Must try all your other varieties!!!

[@homidphilodox]

It's March of 2020... AKA COVID19 quarantine time. I just made this, and it literally turned out exactly as the video. Could not have been happier with this recipe and process. The video was perfect, clear instruction, and easy to follow. Can we say perfect midnight snack?

[@teoli67]

I did this a week ago and used bread flour. It turned out fantastic. Then I did it today and used pastry flour because I ran out of the other. Wow, what a difference. It turned into a giant hamburger bun using my cast iron pot. I recommend using only bread flour. Live and learn.

[@BlasianBobbi215]

this is awesome, I'm gonna give this a try this weekend. I make lunch for husband during the week and I've been looking around for an easy bread recipe I can make at home at my leisure instead of buying bread from the market.

[@briankilcoyne9763]

Many thanks, Steve, always enjoyed home made bread and rolls, but hated the kneading part, Looking forward to many more of these tremendously easy breads.

[@francesnoerr3240]

Can’t tell you how many times I’ve made this bread. Thank you for sharing. Incredibly easy no fail recipe. So versatile just add anything to it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼

[@eveny119]

Nice trick with the spoon handle mixing. I always wondered why you couldn't just let the dough sit overnite, I assumed it would rise then fall, but I never tried it. Looks great.

[@isabellajones8535]

I have also used this recipe / method to make great pan bread / flat breads, like naan. I just use a spoon to scoop out a small amount, flour to mould to a ball then roll out, then drop into a pan with some hot ghee or oil. A few minutes per side to get it as I like it - gold and a touch crispy. It's delicious and fast.

[@lilianbalfour9066]

Love this guys voice its so smooth and relaxing... Great recipe... I love making bread. I must buy a Dutch oven. 😘

[@patriciaburr4826]

I love your videos. I made the no knead rolls twice so far and I'm really enjoying myself. I'm not a crafty person or artistic...cooking and baking I guess you'd say is my thing. My dad used to make when I was. Kid and I'd like to think he's smiling down at me while I'm baking your breads. Thanks for sharing this.

[@jgfr22]

This was my first bread baking attempt, and it was wonderful. I moved on to sourdough but Steve's bread was the first and I have come back to it for timing and simplicity. And taste. I just did the math, and this bread is about 88% hydration. That's really something!

[@alexg9896]

I am glad I found your comment. I've been trying to do the math myself. Question: how did you determine the weight of the flour? Thanks.

[@jgfr22]

@alexg9896 Steve's scoop and shake works for this. For all the other breads I bake I use a scale and weigh in grams

[@alexg9896]

@@jgfr22 Thank you for the quick reply. I meant: how did you determine the weight of the flour in the video to arrive at 88%? The video gives only the volume in cups.

[@jgfr22]

@alexg9896 ok. So you have to convert everything to grams . Weigh the water. Weigh the flour. Do the math. Weight of water divided by weight of flour times 100= hydration percentage

[@jgfr22]

Actually it should work with oz as well and you should get the same answer. The trick is to weigh it

[@missygilly9917]

Hi Steve. I was wondering if you have any recipes for no knead sourdough bread and starter for sourdough bread? If not, I’m thinking another video (or two) might be in order. I’ve been following your videos for quite a while and enjoy how easy your videos are to follow. You are truly the “no knead bread king”.

[@CountDrunkula]

That loaf looked amazing when it came out. I'm giving this a go right now. Please could you show the loaf cut so we can see the crumb in some videos because it's so great seeing different textures.

[@catmom1322]

I put my dough into an oval Corningware dish & it was perfect.

[@Ptpau1970]

I let my bread cool at least 30 minutes before slicing, however, sometimes I cut it before. Anyway, the crust is always wonderful and the bread crumb has a great texture! It’s yummy with butter!

[@HeronCoyote1234]

My bff was tired of paying $4 for a loaf of, essentially, Wonder Bread. So then he wanted to buy a KitchenAid stand mixer. I talked him out of that. Next was a $300 bread machine. Really? Let me see what I can do. I tried one recipe (I lost track of your excellent video), using whole wheat flour. First time making yeast bread since HomeEc 1973. Hey, not bad! Then I (re)found this video (yay!). I’m recovering from the nastiest cold I’ve ever had. Once I’m 100% I’m going into “artisan bread-making” mode, thanks to you, Steve. I think my bff created a monster!

[@dollphyn1]

[@cornwasher]

Steve, watched this Ultimate no-knead bread recipe and technique and found it to be highly superior, so much so I had to find a three qt DO. A used Martha Stewart three qt. cast iron DO turned up on Ebay and got it. So baked my first loaf in the new DO and was amazed at the crust and crumb of this loaf. I recently watched a DIY video on baguettes which gave me an idea. I wanted to try softening the crumb by replacing one cup of bread flour with half cup of cake and half cup of rye flour and let it rise for 24hrs and 1 1/2hrs on the second rise. Results are fantastic. The crumb is soft and pliable and perfectly baked. Even my wife who hates rye bread ate a couple of slices for dinner last night. It's also great when toasted and a garlic clove rubbed on both sides then butter spread. Exceptionally delicious. Thanks for your video.

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'.
