Dough ready in 1 hour! Authentic Italian bread. No kneading, quick and easy
🍞 Why This Recipe Works
This recipe uses a high-hydration dough, meaning there’s more water content than traditional bread dough. This allows the gluten to develop naturally during resting, removing the need for kneading. The result? A light, airy texture with a delicious crispy crust.
đź“ť Ingredients
To make one large loaf or two smaller ones, you’ll need:
3 ½ cups (450g) all-purpose or bread flour
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar (optional, helps with browning)
1 packet (7g) instant yeast (or active dry yeast)
1 ½ cups (360ml) warm water (not too hot, around 100-110°F or 38-43°C)
2 tablespoons olive oil (optional, for extra flavor and softness)
🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Activate the Yeast (If Using Active Dry Yeast)
If you’re using instant yeast, you can skip this step!
In a small bowl, mix the warm water with the sugar and yeast.
Let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
This ensures the yeast is alive and ready to work its magic!
Step 2: Mix the Dough (No Kneading Required!)
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
Pour in the yeast mixture (or just the warm water if using instant yeast).
Add olive oil (if using).
Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix everything together until a shaggy, sticky dough forms.
💡 Tip: Don’t worry about making it smooth—just ensure no dry flour remains!
