- 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.
