We didn’t just do it 1 or 2 times, but we did it 15 times! Yes! It wasn’t meant to match our Cheesecake #17. hehe~
There were tests where we thought it was good for a pressure cooker bread, but we think if we made a tweak, it might tastes a bit better, or rise a bit better, or get a bit fluffier…so we said YES to another full day of breadmaking. Then, day after day, we just kept going…
Making bread at home might sound complicated & intimidating. But it’s actually really easy! All you need is 4 ingredients (we’ll discuss more below).

Instant Pot Bread Pudding With Bourbon Sauce Recipe
Oops…we got way too excited to try “Test #9 – the oven-baked version” that we forgot to take a photo of the sliced bread… 😛
We tried both Active Dry Yeast & Instant Yeast and both worked. However, we found Saf instant yeast to be a bit more beginner-friendly for a higher success rate.
Technically, you can add active dry yeast directly to the flour. However, for a 100% success rate, we recommend activating the active dry yeast with 110°F lukewarm water first.
No Knead Bread
In a small mixing bowl, add in the active dry yeast and 2 tablespoons (30ml) 110°F lukewarm water. Cover for 5 – 10 minutes. When it starts foaming, it is ready to be added to the dough.
*Note: Be careful not to add too much salt because it can affect yeast growth. The ratios we’re using will work fine, but we’re mixing them separately just to further foolproof this easy bread recipe.
The best way to make the bread dough is to push all the flour mixture to the side by creating a well in the middle.

*Pro Tip: Make sure all the flour is mixed in. Depending on your flour, you may need another 30ml of cold water. However, be careful not to add too much additional water.
Finally, it’s important to cover the dough with a lid or food wrap to retain moisture. If you don’t have those, cover the dough with a damp kitchen towel.
*Note: This rising process takes roughly 2 – 3 hours at 75°F to 85°F or 24 hours in a 37° F (3°C) fridge.

*Pro Tip: The temperature affects the time it takes for the dough to rise, and the rising time determines the bread’s flavor. Generally speaking, the longer you let the dough rise, the more flavor it develops.
Let the dough rise to almost double in size for 1.5 – 2 hours at 75°F to 85°F. Then, place in the fridge for 8 – 12 hours.
Let the dough rise to almost double in size for 1.5 – 2 hours at 75°F to 85°F. Then, place it in the fridge for 24 hours.

But if your kitchen is cooler (especially during winter) or warmer, you can use the Instant Pot Yogurt Low/Less setting. The temperate is roughly 72°F – 76°F.
*Tips for Instant Pot Duo Evo or Ultra models: you can use the Sous Vide function and set the custom temperature to 80°F.
*Pro Tip: To avoid the dough from sticking to your hand, wet your hand with a bit of water before you fold the dough.

Fold the bottom part of the dough up, then pull and stretch the top part of the dough and fold it down.
Grease the bottom of a stainless steel container or cake pan with some oil, then place the round dough in the container.
*Note: This final proofing step is recommended. We proofed our bread on our kitchen counter at 75°F. But you can proof the bread in Instant Pot using “Yogurt Low or Less setting” or “Sous Vide function” (see Step 2 for more info).

We’re sharing all three methods on how to bake bread in the Instant Pot, Oven, and Air Fryer. This way, you can choose your favorite method! 🙂
*Pro Tip: Out of these three methods, we like the oven-baked bread the most (better texture – fluffier and better crust all around). The Instant Pot and Air Fryer Lid methods yielded similar results.
*Pro Tip: If you’re using a springform pan or cake pan with a removable bottom, add a trivet and place the pan on top of it.

If you’re using a cast iron dutch oven, warm it up with the lid in the middle rack of the preheating oven for roughly 30 minutes.
Place the crusty bread on a wire rack and let it cool down for at least an hour before slicing into it.
You can store the Instant Pot Bread at room temperature for 2 to 3 days. You can also place the leftover sliced bread in a Ziploc bag, then store them in the freezer for 3 to 6 months.
