Recipes for No Knead Bread


Brioche Batter BreadNo Knead Bread is great if you don't have time to prepare a kneaded bread.

These types of bread are also referred to as batter breads. The bread rises once, then bakes.

Some batters require refrigeration, such as Brioche (featured in the photo) which enables you to do a lot of the work ahead of time.

How do you make no knead bread?

No-knead (or batter breads) are yeast-risen loaves that are not kneaded; the batter is vigorously beaten with a wooden spoon or an electric mixer to develop the gluten. Batters may vary in consistency depending on the recipe. Since the mixture is a batter, no shaping is involved as the bread takes on the shape of the pan it is baked in. Examples of batter breads are Brioche and Sally Lunn.

Batter breads can be baked in many types of molds - coffee cans, ovenproof glass baking canisters, mini stoneware bread crocks, flower pots and regular loaf and tube pans of any size.
