I Don’t Buy Bread Anymore! No Kneading, No Eggs, No Butter! The Easiest and Cheapest Bread Recipe

Ingredients

  • 3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) instant dry yeast
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) warm water
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (optional, for softness)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast.
  2. Add warm water (and oil if using) to the dry ingredients. Stir with a spoon until everything is well combined. The dough will be sticky—no kneading required.
  3. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rest at room temperature for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  4. Once risen, transfer the dough into a greased loaf pan (or shape into a round and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment).
  5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until golden brown on top and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Soft, fluffy, and budget-friendly bread—perfect for everyday use!


Do you want me to make it a crusty artisan-style bread (like bakery loaves) or a soft sandwich bread style?
