The recipe (for those who would like a quick summary): 1. In large bowl, mix: • 16 oz (i.e. 475 mL) cool tap water • 1.5 tsp salt (use less if you are salt-conscious) • 1/4 tsp instant yeast • 1 tbsp sesame seeds • 1 tbsp flax seeds (ground flax may be healthier) • 1 tbsp EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) • 3.5 cups whole wheat flour (or 2 cups bread flour + 1.5 cups whole wheat flour) • ½ cup oats 2. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, then let it sit (i.e. proof) 8-24 hours at room temp (e.g. overnight) 3. Oil/grease bottom pan 4. Mix dough a little (to de-gas/pull/stretch the dough, but whatever you do, don’t call it kneading!), making sure to scrape the sides/bottom. 5. Sprinkle oats on top of sticky dough, roll dough ball around so that oats mostly coat the surface. 6. Transfer to bottom loaf pan, cover it with same-size top loaf pan and use two metal binder clips at each end to secure the top and bottom pans together 7. Let dough sit (proof) in pans for another 30-60 minutes 8. Preheat oven to 400F, move top rack to lower third of oven 9. Bake for 40 mins at 400F with top on, then another 3-15 minutes with top off to brown the crust
Didn't have rolled oats on hand (as I thought), so substituted polenta flour. Will let you know how it turned out. Also used unsweetened applesauce in place of the oil as I know that works.
Nice, straightforward presentation. Thank you for not telling us the story of your life before getting down to what we really came here for - how you make bread!
attention RUclips viewers...this man taught me HOW to make bread at home from scratch ! Thank-you, Steve ! You make it look so easy, it seems almost impossible, but it isn't.
Hey Steve, I live in Nicaragua and I had never made bread before. I made this bread yesterday and baked it today. It's fantastic! I didn't think it would turn out because of the extreme heat and humidity here, not to mention I made the dough in the middle of a rainstorm. My bread is beautiful and delicious. You are my hero!
Hi Steve, my friend and I were looking for whole-wheat bread without sugar and I came across your video. I baked for the first time a few months ago and since then we ended up baking this bread twice a week and not buying bread at all. I wanted to say thank you because you made it so easy for someone like me who failed baking many times before. Thank you for the healthy, easy and tasty recipe.👌
Ok this was legit one of the very few considerate RUclips videos I’ve seen, considerate of my time and patience. I love old school people, he’s also so grandpa cute 😭
Hello Steve. About 3? years ago I wanted to start making bread and I watched a ton of videos yours included. It was YOU that gave me the courage to make my first loaf. Now I make all kinds of bread no knead and kneaded. I spend all day sometimes on cold New England days baking bread it just brings me GREAT Joy. I truly have you to thank for this. I have not made bread in a couple months now and I have the itch so I popped in for a refresher but to also take the time to Truly Thank You whole heartedly for starting me on my baking journey. God Bless you for being the teacher that inspired his student.
Love it. I don't know if it is "cheating" but I mix it using a stand mixer and dough hooks; a little disabled, so I do what's easy. A suggestion: I use "atta", or Indian whole wheat flour. It develops gluten well, and is a bit finer grind than most "western" whole wheat flours. It may need a little more water as it absorbs well. Maybe subjective but I think it gives a nice structure and good loft.
I'm in the US so I'm not sure you can find atta here easily, but any finely ground, red wheat flour with a good protein content should work. I found a good recipe that also "cheats" by soaking the entire whole wheat flour content of the recipe with all the water, THEN adding the rest of the combined ingredients together. So, 16 ozs of water + 1.5 c whole wheat, soak for at least 4 hrs. Meanwhile, combine the rest of the DRY ingredients. Once the WW flour mash is ready (no matter how long it's been soaking), add all the other ingredients to it, then continue with the recipe as indicated. Trust me, you'll get an AMAZING loaf of bread. Fluffy and flavourful. I've got fatigue and pain issues so I've left my mash soaking up to 2 days, so I've had whole wheat loaves that have had a very faint taste of sourdough, but only I've noticed it. My kids (the grown men and my grands) have inhaled it so there wasn't much discussion about it. The grands in particular haven't even commented on the fact they were eating whole wheat! They thought it was dessert! 🍰 🤣 💯 And it ALL began with Steve, the rocket scientist...
Steve, I made this bread last night, baked this morning. My loaf looks exactly like yours and tastes great!!! I didn't have pans to make a PMDO, so I just placed a shallow pan of water (about 1") at the bottom rack to create steam for the first 40 minutes, then removed the water for the last 10 - 15 minutes. I think that worked well.
Thank you so much for your video! My youngest daughter and I have been making bread for years, but she's living in an Airbnb right now, without much of a stocked kitchen. No mixer, no Dutch oven, which is how we've been baking it in. Your pan method is btilliant! Making my first loaf this morning. Also, you are a rare RUclips that doesn't have annoying background music and who knows how to GTTP (Get to the Point!). No incessant yanking! Love that! Going to make Rye next...hubby is so excited!!
We’ve been following and using your bread recipes for a number of years now. Whenever someone sees our stories/photos on our social media accounts and they asks us for the recipe, we automatically send them to your channel!! THANK-YOU STEVE FOR MAKING IT SO EASY TO FOLLOW ALONG! And our favourite line from you: “It’s very forgiving” 🤗🤗
Hey, I’m new to the bread game and I would like to thank Steve. Three loaves in over the past 2 weeks and I’m an expert it seems. You would think I had baked hundreds of loaves thanks to Steve’s easy to follow videos. So much bread to bake and so little time.
Hello Steve, for the first time in my life I baked a loaf of bread. Your instructions are superb, no fuss, no mess, easy to follow. I'll always remember how easy you make the process. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Peace and Blessings!
"You can use any recipe with any baking method." I love that. I have watched so many of these videos in the past few days, I find myself trying to remember which recipe goes with which method. How empowering to know that I can make that choice for myself. It is also helpful for those who don't have all the pans featured in the videos. You can still do it!
Hello Steve. I've been making Dutch Oven bread for over ten years and just discovered your site last week. You are a natural teacher and I've learned a lot from your videos. Thank you so much - bread making is a balm for the soul in the difficult times we are living through and your videos are a lot healthier to follow than the news - and a lot tastier too! Thanks, Richard
I stumbled on you about a month ago because I love bread, but I don’t have the counter to knead and roll out. Very limited space. You have really helped and I want to formally thank you. In this time of crisis, I may only have 3 rolls of toilet paper but I have about 50lbs of flour (bread/all purpose) to make my own breads. You have given me the confidence I need. Without my bread maker. Thank you!!!!
It is so clear that this Mr. Steve is one of the best presenters of bread-baking. He is down-to-earth, clear and, recognizes that many of his audience may be intimidated by the thought of baking bread and also don't necessarily have sophisticated tools. So thank you for making bread baking accessible. I have just one (I hope) tiny request. If you are still making new videos, would you consider covering your bowl with something other than single-use plastic? Tea towel, pot covers, re-usable plastic or silicone? I know I don't have to explain why and I thank you if you will consider this request.
What do others use instead of plastic wrap on the first rise? I have an 11" bowl . . . I'm having trouble finding a suitable silicone replacement. Anyone?
@@EDTMKT I use a lid from my pots and pans. An overturned plate would work. I also have a set of silicon covers which fit different size bowls. I never use plastic wrap for that job
@@rosalindpaaswell9513 Thank you! I've been eyeing a silicone lid, so I'll give it a try! I just ran out of plastic wrap & this was the only thing I used it for (which is plain silly). Much appreciated.
@@rosalindpaaswell9513 For the first rise, I saw a tip to try a pot lid instead. Why didn't I think of that?! I have a large stew pot and the top fits PERFECTLY on my rising bowl. 😁🍞
I have never made bread from scratch, I was too intimidated. Until now. Thank you so much, I did it. Your video was so easy to follow and the trick with the second loaf pan worked perfectly. It turned out beautifully.
Thank you. I love the simplicity of your baking. It’s wonderful to not feel pressured to buy 1 million gadgets to create a loaf. I look forward to purchasing your cookbooks.
I started watching your videos about 8 years ago. I've made so much bread and pizza dough...probably 500 loafs. I bought your book and still refer to it for baking times and temps.
Thank you, Steve! This bread was great! I was surprised at how good it was; it's hard to believe I made this! I could not have made it without Steve's video's and teaching, explaining and showing what he does-just wonderful! I'm very thankful! I already shared this video with someone else! I'll be making this again! I look forward to making more of Steve's various breads!
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
@@artisanbreadwithsteve I’m living in K C, MO and reaching out to old friends and coworkers during this crazy year. You are certainly the entrepreneur.
Thank you for providing more knowledge on the "No-Knead Multigrain Whole Wheat Bread"-recipe for flat bread" that was obtained and could have been effortlessly and was created and can easily remember how I am a newbie.
Greetings from central Ohio. Thanks Steve for your videos. I have your cookbook, but it never hurts to watch the technique used by “the breadman”! Thanks again!
Your video was the 1st i watched on RUclips years ago before it was popular. I always come back to your channel for the real deal instructions. Thank you
What a great recipe! I just made bread for the first time in quarantine!! So delicious. I halved all ingredients to test it out and made a small loaf. came out exquisite!
Hello Steve, I watch all you videos and when advertisement video popped up, I just let it play start to finish. That is my way of saying thank you for giving us no nonsense, informative skills and for the sake of learning. I wish you all well in the world. Be safe and stay healthy. 💜☺️
This was really fun to watch. Enjoyed the no nonsense instructions with no background music or noise, as well as your soft spoken voice. Really pleasant video without all the overly done chatter, as other videos have. Step by step easy to follow instructions. Thank you!! Can't wait to try this. I just subscribed and looking forward to watching more videos from you, sir.
Found a work around for the PMDO when Steve’s method didn’t work for me (clips kept popping off). I used heavy duty aluminum foil and tented the loaf pan by completely surrounding the pan. It worked out fine. The bread was delicious
Honestly, I dont even use clips. I just place the second bread pan on top and have it sit there with nothing holding it. I've never had a problem and my bread has turned out perfect every time
@@DreginyReacts Hello. What is the typical humidity in your area and how long do you put it at counter top before baking? Ours is 84-89F and when I tried Steve's 16oz cool water, 31/2cups flour, 11/2 salt, 1/4 yeast which is all too common in his videos, mine didn't shape as dough and was too wet. 😔 I baked it after 15 hours in kitchen counter top. It turned out cooked on the outside not on the inside. 😔😔😔
@@arvi8843 I like Steve's recipes, as HE makes them. But they are always too sloppy to me. I've been using European recipes (and some American ones) that weigh out the flour and liquid. They always work well for me. I am learning about hydration and going to try some of Steve's recipes with weighing water and figuring out the hydration level by weight, for no-knead bread. Best wishes. "Baking with Jack" has a video about figuring hydration.
I love the clear and to-the-point instructions. Just mixed up my first batch, letting it proof on the counter so I can bake it this evening. Thanks for the great videos!
This is my go to recipe, I dont buy sandwich bread anymore. I always saw bread-making as a long, messy process but Steve you truly revolutionized this view! Thank you for your amazing, clear videos. I recommend you to my friends and family.
Thank youSteve, just when i decided to give up on making any sort of bread you video popped out and what to say, in two days i have been making two different breads. Finally my family call it The bread, it looks like bread, it taste like a bread. So simple and so effective, thank you again….bring us more recipes with more seeds if possible, please?
I need to learn how to bake my own bread. I love how simple your technique is for beginners . The empty store shelves due to the corona virus had me worried i wouldn't find bread for my family. Thank you Steve for sharing your video you are helping many people be self reliant. Blessings to you and your family.
I'm convinced that purple spatula is magic. It's like a magic wand that makes beautifully fresh bread for all the realm! Thanks for this great video. (I recently binge-watched nearly all of your videos this past week.)
Thank you so much for this very easy recipe, Steve. I just tasted it fresh from the oven and it's wonderful! Even my husband (a Frenchman) was impressed! The only change I made was to add some poppy, chia, and sunflower seeds along with the the flax and sesame. I'll be making this a lot and I'll be buying your recipe book.
Thanks for this recipe. With the way things are going these days, this is one of the way to not run out of food. Atleast we can eat nutritious bread to keep is filled, if we can't afford most other food items.
This is THE manliest baking video. Something made me want to make my own bread, and I have been looking for ingredients to use and instructional videos to guide me. Here I am stumbling upon this super detailed video. I'm gonna give it a shot.
The elderly often have bad teeth or false teeth. If so the will find it hard to eat. If you brush butter on after baking it will be softer. I personally like chewy bread over soft. But my husband likes soft. If sharing with the elderly try baking more small loaves to share. My husband and I are 73 & 78 and we don't eat a lot of bread before it goes stale. So I have to freeze it sliced than take out a few slices to thaw for breakfast or lunch.
I tried this recipe and it was amazing! Only difference- I slightly ground the flax. Otherwise flax just goes out of the body as it comes in. I baked it in a regular bread pan (no cover) and it came out perfect and delicious. 😄
Thank you Gila for sharing your experience with a normal pan without a lid. I don't have a dutch oven and currently only have multiples of my mini loaf pans. So I thought I couldn't make this without buying another large bread pan. I'm really excited to give this a try now!
Omg! I just made this bread. I am 56 years old and have tried and failed to make edible bread several times in my life. This is so easy, and it works!!! Thank you so much! From Chilliwack British Columbia.
Thank you so much for the super easy and great tasting no-knead bread recipes! I love to cook and I do all kinds of cooking for my family but I've always been intimidated by bread making, particularly using yeast, proofing and kneading. I was gifted a bread machine a few years ago and used it a couple of times but never thought the bread tasted that great nor did I like the weird shape it created. During the COVID-19 lockdown, like everyone else, I became interested in bread making. After searching long and hard to secure bread flour and yeast that were out of stock everywhere, it was finally time to make bread! I came across this video and was impressed by how easy it seemed so I gave it a try. Wow! The best bread ever, especially considering what little effort I put into making it! The poor man's dutch oven is a brilliant idea! I've made the multigrain whole wheat bread several times now as well as the cinnamon raisin bread and they are both great and come out perfect every time! My family loves them! This is easy enough that I can incorporate into my routine and continue to bake fresh bread a couple times a week. I can't wait to try your cinnamon rolls recipe! Again, thank you so much for sharing these wonderful recipes!
Great recipe, i change it to 1 cup of plain flour, 1 cup spelt flour, 1 cup rye flour … while mixing gently it turned out quite soft and couldn’t form a lamp as in your video. I added more spelt flour, lets see what will happen in the morning! Just trying to introduce more other flours than plain bread white.
* Oh I bought - BREAD FLOUR - for the 1st Time a month ago and LOVE it !! Also the POOR Man's DUTCH OVEN is a Game Changer!! I can do this!! I will one day get a DUTCH OVEN again as I'm Starting Over as they say and now use the Two Loaf Pans and Binder Clips and IT WORKS !!! 😁🍞🍞💗👍👍👍👍
You are such a practical baker Steve! And I really enjoy your videos 😊 Today I am taking some sourdough starter that is obstinately refusing to rise and I'm incorporating into this recipe. The starter is 50/50 flour and water, with about 1/3 of the flour being rye. So it should make a nice loaf!
You seem so sweet. This was so peaceful to watch and so instructive. I don’t have bread flour but heaps of oats. Maybe I’ll make an oat flour bread? Anyone have any idea if that’ll work? Also, I’m sure you know but just wanna say they have silicone bowl covers so you don’t have to go through so much wrap. A great space and money saver! I love em
I made a loaf with this recipe, with 100% whole wheat flour and it was the best bread I have ever had. It turned out so well my wife upon tasting a fresh slice thought I had buttered it for her - which I had not.
Love this recipe. Will try it soon. I love seeing the crumb of breads. In future videos could you cut a slice so we may see the crumb? Thank you. And love your videos and recipes!!!
yes definitely that is one thing that he seriously needs to do. How the heck do we know if we've baked it correctly well I mean obviously sometimes it will be easy to tell but seriously, he needs to cut a slice and show
Thank you. I did my first bread ever following your instructions and I loved it. I have been looking for a bread like this one in stores and not success. I will never buy bread again. I have gotten a great joy in doing my own bread. I thank you a lot.
Thank you for this! My boys loved the homemade bread as comforting foods are welcome as we are self-isolating. A warm moment in a tough time. My youngest said I should become a baker:)
Dear Steve, your videos and recipes are wonderful. You are a fantastic teacher explaining and demonstrating each step of your recipe. I have watched countless bread videos from professional bakers to home cooks and your videos far exceed anything I have seen. Sending prayers and love! 🙏❤🍞🥐🥖❤🙏
I appreciate when you tell us 'why' you do something. i.e. dusting with flour in order to handle easier. When instructions are given with a 'why' explanation it certainly makes it easier to remember.
@@Alexkpz888 I use ground, but I add it to the flour instead of the water, for the same reason he adds oats last: ground flaxseed absorbs water, like a sponge. And, FWIW, ground flaxseed in water is used as an egg substituted in vegan baking and cooking.
Well what a pleasant surprise. While looking for a German bread recipe I found your channel. I retired almost 3 years ago and miss the German bread I enjoyed during the many years I worked there. I will be making some of your breads shortly. I see a new cookbook popping up for my birthday.
Thank you from the uk 🇬🇧 xx I can’t get out to buy food or get a delivery and there’s no way I could knead bread the way I used too xx Thank you so much for your great recipes x I bought your No knead bread book and I’m enjoying baking again thank you xxx

@@rosalindpaaswell9513 Thank you! I've been eyeing a silicone lid, so I'll give it a try! I just ran out of plastic wrap & this was the only thing I used it for (which is plain silly). Much appreciated.
@@EDTMKT You're welcome.
@@rosalindpaaswell9513 For the first rise, I saw a tip to try a pot lid instead. Why didn't I think of that?! I have a large stew pot and the top fits PERFECTLY on my rising bowl. 😁🍞
I have never made bread from scratch, I was too intimidated. Until now. Thank you so much, I did it. Your video was so easy to follow and the trick with the second loaf pan worked perfectly. It turned out beautifully.
After watching lots of bread making yours is the easiest most natural thanks steve
Thank you. I love the simplicity of your baking. It’s wonderful to not feel pressured to buy 1 million gadgets to create a loaf. I look forward to purchasing your cookbooks.
I started watching your videos about 8 years ago. I've made so much bread and pizza dough...probably 500 loafs. I bought your book and still refer to it for baking times and temps.
Thank you. I haven’t bought bread since I have been watching your videos. Greetings from South Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you, Steve! This bread was great! I was surprised at how good it was; it's hard to believe I made this! I could not have made it without Steve's video's and teaching, explaining and showing what he does-just wonderful! I'm very thankful! I already shared this video with someone else! I'll be making this again! I look forward to making more of Steve's various breads!
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
I worked with Steve in California. A many faceted man. Always good information.
It's good to hear from you. I hope you are enjoying your retirement as much as Beth and are enjoying ours. Steve
@@artisanbreadwithsteve I’m living in K C, MO and reaching out to old friends and coworkers during this crazy year. You are certainly the entrepreneur.
@@deeallen6295 We also live in KC (Platte City). We should meet for lunch some time. I can be contacted at ArtisanBreadWithSteve.Gmail.com. Steve
Thanks Steve! You made me a home baker! I've baked bread weekly per your recipes for 18+ months. 👍
Impressive!!
Have you ever doubled the recipe so as to make a bigger loaf?
@@margaretmclean6748 No, I haven't.
Thank you for providing more knowledge on the "No-Knead Multigrain Whole Wheat Bread"-recipe for flat bread" that was obtained and could have been effortlessly and was created and can easily remember how I am a newbie.
Greetings from central Ohio. Thanks Steve for your videos. I have your cookbook, but it never hurts to watch the technique used by “the breadman”! Thanks again!
Your video was the 1st i watched on RUclips years ago before it was popular. I always come back to your channel for the real deal instructions. Thank you
What a great recipe! I just made bread for the first time in quarantine!! So delicious. I halved all ingredients to test it out and made a small loaf. came out exquisite!
This man is a legend in my book thank you for the wisdom
Hello Steve, I watch all you videos and when advertisement video popped up, I just let it play start to finish. That is my way of saying thank you for giving us no nonsense, informative skills and for the sake of learning. I wish you all well in the world. Be safe and stay healthy. 💜☺️
All recipes are simple and they work. Nothing fancy and real recipes.
Definitely deserves more subscribers
This was really fun to watch. Enjoyed the no nonsense instructions with no background music or noise, as well as your soft spoken voice. Really pleasant video without all the overly done chatter, as other videos have. Step by step easy to follow instructions. Thank you!! Can't wait to try this. I just subscribed and looking forward to watching more videos from you, sir.
I made this bread today. It is DELICIOUS. Thank you SO much!
Thanks for letting me know.
Found a work around for the PMDO when Steve’s method didn’t work for me (clips kept popping off). I used heavy duty aluminum foil and tented the loaf pan by completely surrounding the pan. It worked out fine. The bread was delicious
Honestly, I dont even use clips. I just place the second bread pan on top and have it sit there with nothing holding it. I've never had a problem and my bread has turned out perfect every time
Dreginy Reacts That’s what I do too because I couldn’t find any binder clips during lockdown.
@@DreginyReacts Hello. What is the typical humidity in your area and how long do you put it at counter top before baking? Ours is 84-89F and when I tried Steve's 16oz cool water, 31/2cups flour, 11/2 salt, 1/4 yeast which is all too common in his videos, mine didn't shape as dough and was too wet. 😔 I baked it after 15 hours in kitchen counter top. It turned out cooked on the outside not on the inside. 😔😔😔
@@arvi8843 I had the same problem 😢
@@arvi8843 I like Steve's recipes, as HE makes them. But they are always too sloppy to me. I've been using European recipes (and some American ones) that weigh out the flour and liquid. They always work well for me. I am learning about hydration and going to try some of Steve's recipes with weighing water and figuring out the hydration level by weight, for no-knead bread.
Best wishes. "Baking with Jack" has a video about figuring hydration.
I first started watching your videos during Covid.
Still love watching them
I love the clear and to-the-point instructions. Just mixed up my first batch, letting it proof on the counter so I can bake it this evening. Thanks for the great videos!
Thank you Steve. I learnt to make bread from you 3 years ago, and never looked back. It’s our favorite in the house. Thankyou again
This is my go to recipe, I dont buy sandwich bread anymore. I always saw bread-making as a long, messy process but Steve you truly revolutionized this view! Thank you for your amazing, clear videos. I recommend you to my friends and family.
Thanks Steve, Our Pastor loves your wheat bread, and so do we!😌
Thank you! In future videos ~ would love to see the slice of the bread and crumb ☺️. Also, recipe in notes would be great 👍🏻
Thank youSteve, just when i decided to give up on making any sort of bread you video popped out and what to say, in two days i have been making two different breads. Finally my family call it The bread, it looks like bread, it taste like a bread. So simple and so effective, thank you again….bring us more recipes with more seeds if possible, please?
I need to learn how to bake my own bread. I love how simple your technique is for beginners . The empty store shelves due to the corona virus had me worried i wouldn't find bread for my family.
Thank you Steve for sharing your video you are helping many people be self reliant. Blessings to you and your family.
Try it, it's easy with no knead recipes. I will never buy bread again!
Bread making was this esoteric thing before I stumbled on this recipe. Thank you from India
I'm convinced that purple spatula is magic. It's like a magic wand that makes beautifully fresh bread for all the realm! Thanks for this great video. (I recently binge-watched nearly all of your videos this past week.)
Steve you are the Bob Ross of bread! I love your books. I bake beautiful bread now because of you!! Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much for this very easy recipe, Steve. I just tasted it fresh from the oven and it's wonderful! Even my husband (a Frenchman) was impressed! The only change I made was to add some poppy, chia, and sunflower seeds along with the the flax and sesame. I'll be making this a lot and I'll be buying your recipe book.
How was it with the other seeds? I just made it with ground flax seeds and sesame seeds did it end up more dry by adding additional seeds
I FINALLY DID IT!
I did the Raisin Bread first, but this is the one I want to be able to go back to FOREVER. And now I CAN. THANK YOU STEVE
!
Thanks for this recipe. With the way things are going these days, this is one of the way to not run out of food. Atleast we can eat nutritious bread to keep is filled, if we can't afford most other food items.
This is THE manliest baking video. Something made me want to make my own bread, and I have been looking for ingredients to use and instructional videos to guide me. Here I am stumbling upon this super detailed video. I'm gonna give it a shot.
Cant wait to try this! Thank you for NOT using music. I find music too distracting.
The elderly often have bad teeth or false teeth. If so the will find it hard to eat. If you brush butter on after baking it will be softer.
I personally like chewy bread over soft. But my husband likes soft.
If sharing with the elderly try baking more small loaves to share. My husband and I are 73 & 78 and we don't eat a lot of bread before it goes stale. So I have to freeze it sliced than take out a few slices to thaw for breakfast or lunch.
You improve people's lives. You can't do better than that! Thank You!!
I tried this recipe and it was amazing! Only difference- I slightly ground the flax. Otherwise flax just goes out of the body as it comes in. I baked it in a regular bread pan (no cover) and it came out perfect and delicious. 😄
Thank you Gila for sharing your experience with a normal pan without a lid. I don't have a dutch oven and currently only have multiples of my mini loaf pans. So I thought I couldn't make this without buying another large bread pan. I'm really excited to give this a try now!
@@anonnnnnsh happened same with me...flex powder effects taste badly
Omg! I just made this bread. I am 56 years old and have tried and failed to make edible bread several times in my life. This is so easy, and it works!!! Thank you so much! From Chilliwack British Columbia.
Thank you so much for the super easy and great tasting no-knead bread recipes! I love to cook and I do all kinds of cooking for my family but I've always been intimidated by bread making, particularly using yeast, proofing and kneading. I was gifted a bread machine a few years ago and used it a couple of times but never thought the bread tasted that great nor did I like the weird shape it created. During the COVID-19 lockdown, like everyone else, I became interested in bread making. After searching long and hard to secure bread flour and yeast that were out of stock everywhere, it was finally time to make bread! I came across this video and was impressed by how easy it seemed so I gave it a try. Wow! The best bread ever, especially considering what little effort I put into making it! The poor man's dutch oven is a brilliant idea! I've made the multigrain whole wheat bread several times now as well as the cinnamon raisin bread and they are both great and come out perfect every time! My family loves them! This is easy enough that I can incorporate into my routine and continue to bake fresh bread a couple times a week. I can't wait to try your cinnamon rolls recipe! Again, thank you so much for sharing these wonderful recipes!
Great recipe, i change it to 1 cup of plain flour, 1 cup spelt flour, 1 cup rye flour … while mixing gently it turned out quite soft and couldn’t form a lamp as in your video. I added more spelt flour, lets see what will happen in the morning! Just trying to introduce more other flours than plain bread white.
* Oh I bought - BREAD FLOUR - for the 1st Time a month ago and LOVE it !! Also the POOR Man's DUTCH OVEN is a Game Changer!! I can do this!! I will one day get a DUTCH OVEN again as I'm Starting Over as they say and now use the Two Loaf Pans and Binder Clips and IT WORKS !!! 😁🍞🍞💗👍👍👍👍
I am pretty sure i just binged watched you whole RUclips channel. You are very informational and direct. Your channel is amazing.
You are such a practical baker Steve! And I really enjoy your videos 😊 Today I am taking some sourdough starter that is obstinately refusing to rise and I'm incorporating into this recipe. The starter is 50/50 flour and water, with about 1/3 of the flour being rye. So it should make a nice loaf!
Thank you for your recipe, I'm making it once a week. No more buying at the store, and so much better.
You seem so sweet. This was so peaceful to watch and so instructive. I don’t have bread flour but heaps of oats. Maybe I’ll make an oat flour bread? Anyone have any idea if that’ll work?
Also, I’m sure you know but just wanna say they have silicone bowl covers so you don’t have to go through so much wrap. A great space and money saver! I love em
That's a good idea.
Only if you use Psyllium for texture and BP instead of yeast
Shower caps work well too :)
I made a loaf with this recipe, with 100% whole wheat flour and it was the best bread I have ever had.
It turned out so well my wife upon tasting a fresh slice thought I had buttered it for her - which I had not.
Love this recipe. Will try it soon. I love seeing the crumb of breads. In future videos could you cut a slice so we may see the crumb? Thank you. And love your videos and recipes!!!
Linda Kintz I agree. I love seeing a slice so that I can compare mine.
yes definitely that is one thing that he seriously needs to do. How the heck do we know if we've baked it correctly well I mean obviously sometimes it will be easy to tell but seriously, he needs to cut a slice and show
@@dcwatashi I, too, would love to see a slice!
I’ve seen multiple people comment about this on several vids, and yet to see him cut a slice. Maybe on newer vids?
Congratulations. Very good video. No music. Just easy to concentrate on what you're exposing, Sir.
Pure substance... No unnecessary explanations... Simple and effective...
I absolutely loved the spoon handle tip! I can't wait to try making this with my nephews this week. Thank you for sharing!
You are such a likable guy and you make instructions very simple. Thanks.
Thank you, Steve! Your easy-to-follow instructions have helped me bring homemade, fresh-baked bread to my family on a regular basis. God bless!
Thank you. I did my first bread ever following your instructions and I loved it. I have been looking for a bread like this one in stores and not success. I will never buy bread again. I have gotten a great joy in doing my own bread. I thank you a lot.
Thank you for this! My boys loved the homemade bread as comforting foods are welcome as we are self-isolating. A warm moment in a tough time. My youngest said I should become a baker:)
Hi how much flour in total ,do you use
Best whole grain bread ever.
I substituted wheat bran for the oats as I don't like oats in bread.
Turned out perfectly.
Thanks
You use so little yeast! I am surprised it rises so well. THANK YOU for your art. :-)
I know, I was skeptical at first because I have seen other videos, but OMG works like magic!
Dear Steve, your videos and recipes are wonderful. You are a fantastic teacher explaining and demonstrating each step of your recipe. I have watched countless bread videos from professional bakers to home cooks and your videos far exceed anything I have seen. Sending prayers and love!
🙏❤🍞🥐🥖❤🙏
You are so organized! I love that and I love the “ no music” as well. Just bought a couple of your books from Amazon
Thanks to you I have a bread machine that I will never use again
This is the best tasting bread I have ever made thank you
i was hoping that you'd slice it open so we can see how it looks inside, the thickness, crunchiness of the crust, etc....
Best bread making with simple explanation and easy to follow.
Please keep posting & love what you do.
That looked super easy. I'm encouraged to break out into whole wheat breads
I did because of Steve. Try it! 👍
It’s as easy as it looks.
I appreciate when you tell us 'why' you do something. i.e. dusting with flour in order to handle easier. When instructions are given with a 'why' explanation it certainly makes it easier to remember.
Thank you for this, Steve! This is very helpful most especially during the quarantine times! ❤️
God bless you, Steve! You have changed many people's lives by your simple, clear teaching method.
Whole flax seed passes straight through you, if it’s ground up it has great benefits for your body.
This is great info! I’m thinking he uses them for texture, will add both though, ground and whole 👍🏻
@@Alexkpz888 I use ground, but I add it to the flour instead of the water, for the same reason he adds oats last: ground flaxseed absorbs water, like a sponge. And, FWIW, ground flaxseed in water is used as an egg substituted in vegan baking and cooking.
Well what a pleasant surprise. While looking for a German bread recipe I found your channel. I retired almost 3 years ago and miss the German bread I enjoyed during the many years I worked there.
I will be making some of your breads shortly. I see a new cookbook popping up for my birthday.
Steve Nobody can find yeast anymore. We need your take on sourdough!
Amazon has yeast. I buy the one pound packages and keep it in the fridge or freezer. Keeps forever.
Amazon
For yeast: Asian food stores; Italian food stores; ethnic food stores. You can also ask your local baker 👩🍳!
I agree, thank you for not playing music. I'm going to make your bread. I enjoyed your video.
Why he doesn't cut the bread, so we can see the texture of the NO KNEAD bread.
Thank you from the uk 🇬🇧 xx I can’t get out to buy food or get a delivery and there’s no way I could knead bread the way I used too xx Thank you so much for your great recipes x I bought your No knead bread book and I’m enjoying baking again thank you xxx
Flax seed is difficult to digest in its whole form. What if you ground it then added it to get its full nutritional value and not just pass through.
Jocelyn Doucette you have to grind up flax seed in order for the body to use it.
Isn’t that what I said?
I have been following you for awhile now and I must say ALL YOUR RECIPES are excellent. Easy to follow. No hooplah. Thank you.
George Jones took a time machine from the 90's to 2020 to teach everyone how to make no-knead bread.
