No Knead Brown Bread Recipe

Whole Wheat No-Knead Bread is a healthy version of the classic no-knead bread made with whole wheat flour. Add nuts and seeds for more texture!

My current favorite breakfast consists of two slices of this Whole Wheat No-Knead Bread topped with sliced avocados, sprinkled with salt and garlic powder. It's so good and so easy and much tastier than oatmeal right now. I love making the No-Knead Bread because it's pretty much hands-off yeast bread but this whole wheat version is currently on rotation here. I have been using whole wheat flour more lately, even in our pizza dough recipe, and we love it.

Easy

This Whole Wheat No-Knead Bread is easy and delicious! It's a great way to limit white flour amount in your diet and skip buying a white sandwich bread. You can add nuts and seeds to give it more texture and enjoy with a generous amount of peanut or almond butter and this chia jam. So tasty!

The Best No Knead Bread Recipe!

To make a tasty whole wheat no-knead bread, I used two cups of whole wheat flour and one cup of all-purpose flour. Stir in yeast, water and salt until the dough is shaggy and sticky. Cover the bowl with saran wrap and leave to rise in room temperature for 8 to 24 hours. Next, lightly flour a sheet of parchment paper, form the dough into a ball and let rest when your oven is preheating. Bake the bread in a cast iron Dutch oven with lid for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake until the top is golden brown.

It is recommended to let a yeast bread (and any kind of bread for that matter, even sweet quick bread) to cool completely before slicing. Otherwise, the crumb will be sticky and not cut nicely.

I love using my Le Creuset Round Dutch Oven to make this bread. It's perfect not only for cooking soups and chili!

No Knead Marathon Bread Recipe (vegan, Nut Free)

If you love the idea of baking homemade bread but are put off by all the hands on time it takes then you've come to the right place.

Artisanal

My Easy Wholemeal Bread recipe takes literally minutes to prepare, there is no kneading involved at all and proving and baking happens as you get on with other stuff.  Make sure you set a timer though, as it's so easy to lose track of time.

I've always loved crusty breads the most and this one has got a lovely golden crust with a bit of crunch. If you prefer softer crust you can simply cover your freshly baked bread gently with a clean tea towel as it cools which will makes it softer.

Lazy Man's Bread (no Knead Bread)

No you don't. I've baked this bread numerous times using just plain white and plain wholemeal (whole wheat) flours and the results are the same as when I've used strong (bread flours).

You can be pretty brave and mix and match your flours here but I would advise you to keep to 50/50 ratio of white to wholemeal/whole wheat flour for the best results and nice, light crumb.

Fast

As with any homemade bread and because of the lack of preservatives it is the best on the day you bake it.

Whole Wheat No Knead Bread, Crusty Bread

My recommendation would be to eat it fresh on the day you bake it and perhaps the following day and toast it after that. I must say I like to eat my sandwiches toasted anyway so I usually only eat it it fresh when still warm on the day I bake it.

If you don't eat a lot of bread you can easily freeze it. Simply let it cool completely, slice it and pop into freezer safe bag until you need it. To defrost simply take it out onto the kitchen counter where it should thaw in an hour or so, usually less than that. Alternatively, you can simply toast it from frozen until thawed and nicely crisped up.

We love it fresh or toasted for breakfast with the variety of spreads like lemon curd, homemade orange marmalade or this plum and chocolate spread.
