Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups (440 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) warm water
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast (1 packet)

How to Make No-Knead Sandwich Bread

Step 1: Activate the Yeast

In a large bowl, mix the warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the instant yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5 minutes until slightly foamy.

Step 2: Mix the Dough

Add the flour and salt to the bowl. Stir everything together with a spoon or spatula until a sticky dough forms. Do not knead the dough.

Step 3: First Rise

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean towel. Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 4: Shape the Bread

Lightly flour your hands and gently shape the dough into a loaf. Place it into a greased loaf pan.

Step 5: Second Rise

Cover the pan and let the dough rise again for about 30 minutes.

Step 6: Bake

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread for 30–35 minutes until the top is golden brown.

Step 7: Cool and Slice

Let the bread cool on a rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.

Secret Tips for Ultra Soft Sandwich Bread

  • Use warm water (not hot) to activate the yeast properly.
  • Do not add too much flour. The dough should be slightly sticky.
