Can you make a good thing… better? Originally published in 2013, this deliciously chewy no-knead bread is EASY to make. But over the years, I’ve added clearer instructions which are extremely useful for a bread beginner. I also made some small improvements to the recipe including reducing the honey and cinnamon, plus adding a little more yeast to achieve a better rise. I also updated the photos and added plenty of step photos, too.

Ingredient Honey Bread (no Yeast, Eggs, Butter Or Oil)

Though this is a very hands-off recipe, let me show you a few process photos so you have a solid understanding of the instructions below.

This is a sticky dough, so a mixer will not do you any favors. Mix it by hand with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula (photo below, left). The picture below on the right shows the dough after the 1st rise. Notice how the dough rises OUT more than it rises UP:

Pictured below is a close-up of the dough after rising—I pulled the dough inward so you can see the strands of dough. This dough is full of AIR and that’s exactly what you want:

Next you will add a little flour to the sticky risen dough—just enough so that you can gently shape it into a loaf. Careful not to deflate the dough:

Shaping: The picture below on the left shows the loaf after you shape it. Do not overthink the shaping step because the less you handle and tinker with the dough, the better. As shown below on the right, place into a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan and use a sharp knife or bread lame to score it on top. Scoring allows the airy dough to “breathe” as it rises and bakes.

After that, it’s time to bake the bread. Before baking, you can sprinkle the top of the loaf with oats or add a cinnamon-sugar topping. See details for both optional toppings in the recipe notes below. Usually my loaf is just covered in baked flour leftover from the shaping step:

Cool for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Again, homemade honey butter is a fantastic finishing touch and you can quickly prep it as the bread cools. And if you love honey in your homemade breads, you’ll enjoy these honey butter rollstoo.

Honey Wheat Sourdough Sandwich Bread

This honey wheat bread recipe involves two rises. First the dough rises in the bowl and the second time around it rises in the loaf pan. Have patience and don’t rush to the next step before the loaf has properly risen, or you may end up with a dense, short loaf of bread that is yummy but not really what we’re going for in this recipe!

To speed up the rising process, cover the dough with a moist cloth and put it in the bowl/pan in the oven (while it’s off). Then place two cups of boiling water in an open container near the dough in the oven and turn the lights on. The warm damp environment will make the dough rise much faster! Just be sure to remove it before you preheat the oven!
