The Best No Knead Bread Recipe!
Like so many others during the bizarre Spring 2020, I decided to nurture a sourdough starter. This was merely an experiment to keep my mind focused and the kids engaged, my hopes weren’t high.
We fed our starter, christened Haku after Spirited Away, dutifully every day for a week. There was some bubbling, but it didn’t really look very active. Then on day 9, when I had just about given up, the starter literally doubled before our astonished eyes. Time to get baking!
And here is where my mind literally went into screensaver mode. There was so much information about baking sourdough bread, so many new terms to wrap my head around, so much work.
Easy, No Knead Overnight Sourdough [column]
So I decided to tackle my first sourdough bread the same lazy way I bake my no knead bread: mix the ingredients, leave them to do their thing, shape, rise and bake. To my amazement this no knead sourdough worked a treat.
And the wonder and pride you will feel when you cradle your first sourdough loaf is really such a high, you will soon want to bake bread again and again.
Sourdough bread is easier to digest, more nutritious and better tolerated than regular bread. This basic sourdough bread recipe is also naturally vegan / vegetarian.

Sourdough bread is NOT, however, gluten-free unless it has been prepared using a gluten free sourdough starter and flour. Take a look at this recipe for Gluten Free Sourdough .
An active starter should double in size and be bubbly within a few hours of being fed. To check whether it is ready, add a spoonful of active starter to a glass of water. If it floats you are good to go. If it sinks it’s not quite there yet – this is called the float test.

Easy Overnight Danish Rye Bread (rugbrød)
This is my timetable for making overnight sourdough. You can follow your own schedule just keep and eye on the timing. If the weather is particularly warm the bread will prove quite quickly and is in danger of over fermenting – I usually prefer to prove the dough in the fridge overnight for 12 hours or longer.
6pm Feed Your Starter Feed a mature starter then leave for 4 hours, or until doubled in size, bubbly and floating in water (float test). My starter used to take 6-7 hours at first, now that the weather is a lot warmer it’s ready in around 4 hours. Try to use your starter at its peak, before it starts to sink again (you will see a trail on the sides of the jar when it starts to deflate). Don’t forget – always keep some of your active starter in the fridge for further baking!
10pm Mix The Dough Add the bubbly starter in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the water and mix well – I use my dough whisk for this.
Homemade Rye Bread
Add the bread flour, salt and mix well with the dough whisk or your hands. It’s easier to have a feel for the dough if you use your hands. You will have a shaggy, slightly sticky dough.
BULK FERMENTATION Transfer the dough into a rectangular container (I like a glass pyrex dish), mist with a little water, cover and leave to rise at room temperature overnight (8-10 hours) or in the fridge (10-12 hours) if it is a warm night.
10 am – READY TO SHAPE Take a look at your dough – it should have risen in the bowl to almost doubled. Mist your worktop with water and scrape the dough onto it – do not punch the dough down. If the dough is really sticky then you can dust the worktop with a little flour – I prefer to use water with this recipe.

Flip over, seam side down, and shape using your hands and a bench scraper into a round loaf (known as a “boule”). Keep turning on the countertop, shaping between your hands and slightly tucking under until the loaf is smooth.
SECOND RISE Line a bowl or basket with baking paper and lightly dust the paper and your loaf with gluten free flour or rice flour to prevent the bread from sticking to the paper.
Place into the prepared bowl seam side down, cover loosely with a plastic bag and leave to rise again for 30 minutes to a couple of hours at room temperature (again, this will be weather dependent).

TOP TIP Check your loaf is ready to bake by gently prodding with a finger. If the indent springs back slowly leaving a small dent then you are ready to bake. If it springs back really quickly you need to allow it to rise for a little longer.
BAKE YOUR SOURDOUGH Preheat your oven to 450F (230C) half an hour before the end of proving. Place a lidded pot (Dutch Oven) in the oven to preheat. Score the top of your loaf using a sharp knife, razor or lame.
Remove the pot from the oven using pot holders (please be very careful). Carefully place the dough into the pot, lifting it by the baking paper.Cover and bake for 20 minutes.

Reduce the oven temperature to 425F (220C). Take the lid off the pot and cook for another 20-25 minutes. You can lift the bread out of the pot and cook directly on the oven shelf for the final 5 minutes.
Cool the bread on a wire rack for at least an hour before slicing. Enjoy toasted spread with some salted butter – DELICIOUS!
If you are using a proofing basket bread basket you will need to prep this first before first use – check this guide for preparing your banneton basket. Dust the basket with rice flour or gluten free flour, shaking out the excess.
Easiest No Knead Overnight Bread Recipe
Carefully transfer your loaf seam side up directly into the prepared basket. Dust with a little flour, cover with a bag and leave to rise. When the dough is ready to bake, after the second rise, carefully invert onto baking paper then proceed to score and bake in a Dutch Oven.
If you have never made sourdough bread before, it would be best to try the lined bowl method first as it is easier.
Cover the cooled loaf in a clean tea towel and store at room temperature – the bread will keep for 2-3 days.
Cold Start Sourdough Bread With Overnight Dough
I prefer to slice the entire loaf and then freeze it – that way you can toast slices directly from frozen whenever the fancy takes you.
