Homemade Rustic No Yeast Bread
Description
Homemade Rustic No Yeast Bread uses simple pantry ingredients, including flour, a touch of sugar and salt, baking powder as a chemical leavening agent, and lukewarm water. The mixture is combined and gently kneaded just until smooth, then shaped into a loaf with shallow scoring on top. The bread is baked initially at a higher temperature for a crusty exterior, then at a lower temperature to finish cooking inside evenly.
The resulting loaf has a slightly dense crumb and firm crust, lacking the airy qualities of yeast bread but offering a rustic texture and mild flavor suitable for sandwiches or as a side with soups.
A tip from the notes suggests adding olive oil to the dough to potentially soften the crumb. Variations in oven temperature, flour types, and water can affect the final outcome, making this bread somewhat variable but reliable with the described method.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 cup water lukewarm, no chlorine
*Lukewarm temperature 80F (26F).
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 425F (220C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Then add the water and mix together, either with a fork or spatula.Sprinkle a flat surface with a little flour, place the dough on top and gently knead for a minute or two until smooth. Gently flatten the dough into a small rectangle with the palm of your hand and fold it like an envelope. Sprinkle with flour if needed.Then form into your preferred loaf shape, score the top and place on prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 15 minutes then lower the temperature to 350F (180C) for another 10 minutes.Let cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Adding a tablespoon of olive oil with the water may help soften the bread crumb.
- Oven temperature, flour type, and water differences might affect bread texture and rise.
