Bread Recipe That Doesn'T Need To Rise

Yep, you CAN make an amazing bread without yeast that’s just like proper bread!5 common ingredients: flour, baking powder, oil, milk and sugar.It’s a no yeast bread based on Damper, a traditional Australian bread historically made by swagmen and drovers over campfire – except we’re using an oven!

This no yeast bread is inspired by the Australian Damper, a traditional bushman’s bread made with flour and water that was cooked over campfires.

Except I’ve brought it into the 21st century to make the crumb fluffier, more tender and tastier, and made it look like sandwich bread rather than a freeform loaf. (Oh, and we cook this in an oven instead of over fire!)

Ingredient No Yeast Bread

This is THE emergency bread that you make when you don’t have yeast, or you don’t have time to make yeast bread.It has a proper crumb like real bread, rather than being crumbly like muffins which many no-yeast breads are. It’s mixed in a bowl with a wooden spoon – no kneading, no rising. You’ll have this in the oven in mere minutes!

In a way that bread made without yeast will never have. But this is as darn close as you will get to a yeast bread recipe

Bread lovers might recognise this as a simplerversion of Irish Soda Bread. It’s easier because the dough is just mixed up in a bowl (ie no kneading at all) and it doesn’t require buttermilk or baking soda which aren’t pantry staples for everyone.

Easy Homemade Gluten Free Bread Recipe

This is just like making your favourite Chocolate Chip Muffins! Mix the dry ingredients, then add the oil and milk. Mix, pour, bake!

Why use a loaf pan?Because the mixture is a very thick batter rather than a kneadable dough (like Friday’s pizza dough or focaccia). So you can’t freeform it like Irish Soda Bread. If you don’t have a loaf pan, make it in a muffin tin – well greased, 20 minutes at 180°C/350°F.

It takes 50 minutes in the oven, so I like to do half the time uncovered to get a lovely golden brown crust, then I cover it the rest of the time (otherwise the crust gets a bit thick and dark).

Easy Homemade Sandwich Bread

LOOK at that crust!↓↓↓It’s tempting to just lift the whole thing off and run away with it! (Swipe the butter while you’re at it)

TIP: Let it cool completely before slicing, otherwise it will besusceptible tocrumbling on the edges. On Day 2, it slices 100% perfectly!

Slice it up like normal bread then use it for anything and everything you ordinarily use sandwich bread for. A simple ham sandwich. Or an epic Pastrami orReuben sandwich. Grilled cheese – or cheesy GARLIC bread. Toast it and slather with jam, Vegemite, peanut butter or whatever you heart desires.

Hour Wheat Beer Bread

As with all homemade breads, this no yeast bread is at its best on the day it’s made. But even the day after, it’s still very, very good thanks to the touch of oil which keeps the crumb moist. Then on Day 3, a light toasting is all that’s needed to resurrect it.

It also freezes 100% perfectly – which is what I’ve done with the 8+ loaves I’ve made in the past few weeks, trying to nail the recipe. I’m going to be eating this for weeks and weeks – no complaints here!!

Recipe video above. This is a bread loaf made without yeast or any other non-standard pantry ingredients. It's as close as you will get to real bread made with yeast! It has a proper crumb like real bread and it's sliceable, rather than being muffin-like which many no-yeast breads are. Loosely based on Damper, a traditional Australian bread historically made by swagmen and drovers over campfire (except I've brought it into the 21st century!) Toggle for METRIC (weights).

Why Your Bread Didn't Rise (even Though You Followed The Recipe Exactly)

1. Flour – can sub up to half with wholemeal/wholewheat. Can also use cake flour and bread flour (but using bread flour won’t give you a better result in this one, unlike yeast breads).

Sandwich

Self raising flour (aka self rising flour) is just plain/all purpose flour pre mixed with baking powder. Can sub the flour in this recipe with self raising flour. If you do this, skip the baking powder (don’t bother subtracting 8 tsp flour, this recipe is flexible enough).

Baking powder – I know 8 tsp sounds like a lot, but this is a big loaf we’re making here, and baking powder doesn’t have the same kick-start rising power as when you use baking soda (bi-carb) plus buttermilk, like in Irish Soda Bread. Hence we need more (but actually, 2 tsp baking powder per 1 cup flour is the standard).

2. BAKING SODA SUB – (aka bi-carb) use 2 tsp baking soda PLUS add 1 tsp white vinegar when you add milk (vinegar activates baking soda).

3. Salt –Table salt are finer grains than cooking/kosher salt so 1 tsp table salt is more salt than 1 tsp cooking salt. So if you only have table salt, reduce to 1 tsp, otherwise your bread will be too salty.

4. Milk – anything will do, low fat, full fat, power reconstituted, non dairy (I’ve used soy and almond milk, so confident others will work just fine). Also works with WATER but the crumb is not quite as tender.

5. Loaf pan – the mixture is a like a very thick muffin batter rather than a kneadable dough, which is why we can’t freeform it. You could bake it in a 20cm/8″ round or square pan (it will be slightly less tall), it might takes slightly less time to cook because it’s not as high.

Two Hour Bread

Need bread in a hurry? This easy no-yeast bread loaf is the answer. There’s no waiting for it to rise and barely any kneading. All you need is four store cupboard ingredients and it can easily be made vegan.

My emergency no yeast bread is variation on soda bread. It is much better as a standby, however, as it uses ordinary milk and baking powder rather than buttermilk and bicarbonate of soda.I much prefer this loaf to soda bread, as I find that soda bread can taste bitter.

This recipe was first published in 2011, and has been popular ever since. It has saved the day many times, through unexpected guests and when the store hasn’t any yeast. Here are some of the reasons why I think this is the best recipe you’ll ever find for those times when you are out of bread and need to bake in a hurry.

How to test your baking powder is fresh Put a teaspoon in a small pot and pour over boiling water. The baking powder should bubble and fizz vigorously. If it doesn’t, throw the baking powder away and buy fresh. If the powder is past its best before date, it may still be good, so don’t throw it away without checking. The one shown in the photo is two years past the ‘best before’ and fizzing away just fine.

Step 1 – Gather your ingredients. Heat the oven to 190°C Fan (210°C regular) / 375°F /Gas Mark 6. Put a baking sheet or stone in the oven to heat.

Step 3 –Add the milk, and mix the ingredients until they come together into dough. It’s easiest to do this with your hands rather than a wooden spoon. Turn the dough out onto your work surface, and give it a very quick knead to make sure the milk is evenly distributed. It doesn’t need a lot of work.

Step 4 – Form into a flat loaf – no more than about 1½”/3 cm thick.Important! Your no yeast bread mustn’t be too thick; otherwise, it won’t rise or bake through properly. Then score the top in a deep cross (or make three or four parallel score lines if you prefer).

The photo shows the dough before it goes in the oven. As you can see, it’s formed into a round pancake, about 1½” (3 cm) thick, and deeply scored with a cross across the top.

Step 5 – Put the loaf on the baking sheet or stone. Then place in the oven and cook for about 35 minutes. The bread will still be quite pale once cooked. Don’t expect, or wait for it to be golden brown.

An Untraditional Bread

Step 6 –Check the bread is cooked by flipping it off the baking sheet and giving it a tap. If it is done, it will sound hollow.

Absolutely yes! Use your favourite soy or nut milk, and add one tablespoon of lemon juice just before mixing the dough. Alternatively, you
