Instant Pot Coconut Muesli Bread
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).

We did 15 bread-making experiments with varying amount of ingredients, rising/proofing/cooking times, temperatures, & methods to find the easiest, foolproof, tasty bread recipe:
Instant Pot Gluten Free Banana Bread
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.
Instant Pot Best Banana Bread (gluten Free)
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.
Amy + Jacky’s Pro Tips: 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.
Best Banana Bread
*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.
Instant Pot Whole Wheat Bread (no Knead!)
*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.
Instant Pot No Knead Herb Bread
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).
Instant Pot Bread #15 (4 Ingredient No Knead)
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.
So Easy Instant Pot Banana Bread Recipe
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.

Soak the bowls & utensils in cold water with a little bit of soap for 10 mins to make it easier to clean. Don’t use hot water because it’ll make it even stickier.

Instant Pot Banana Bread Recipe Recipe
I know I’ve been a broken record about the wholeInstant Potthing, but I promise it’s worth it. I use mine at least a few times a week. And now that I’ve figured out how to make bread in it, I know that number will only increase.
Have you ever had no-knead bread before? This is based on thefamous NYT bread recipe, using whole-wheat flour, fresh rosemary, and flaky sea salt. If you’ve ever eaten at Macaroni Grill and know their rosemary bread, that was my inspiration.
To proof the dough, you will use the yogurt setting in your Instant Pot as a continuous warm spot that allows the bread to proof in a fraction of the time.
Keto Garlic Cheese Bread
TheInstant Potjust saves you time, but it’s not a necessary thing. Original no-knead bread recipes take hours to proof overnight, and using the Instant Pot cuts that prep time in a third. You can start homemade bread at noon and have it warm and ready to eat for dinner that night.
However, in the spirit of being a kinda-sorta-minimalist, I will continue to provide stove-top alternatives for those who don’t want yet another thing in their kitchen and prefer the old method.
As with most bread recipes, you’ll need bread flour along with either whole-wheat flour or all-purpose flour.The same is true for this Instant Pot bread recipe.
Instant Pot Crusty No Knead Bread Recipe Recipe
You’ll also need salt, fresh rosemary, and water. I use instant yeast for this recipe over regular yeast. Since you are only proofing for a few hours, you’ll want to make sure the yeast is fast-acting. You should be able to find the yeast next to regular yeast in the grocery store!
You’ll need a glass bowl large enough to fit in
