No Knead feather light bread

  • 1

Ingredients

  • Combine and set aside:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon salt
  • 2 packages dry yeast (not quick-rise)
  • Heat until warm:
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • Other ingredients to add later:
  • 2 and 1/2 cups additional flour
  • 1 egg

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter 2 small bread pans. Once the liquids are warm, add the egg and then stir into the flour mixture. Stir with a wire whisk for 3 minutes. Then add the rest of the flour, one cup at a time, and stir with a wooden spoon until smooth and just combined. Cover with a piece of buttered plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place for an hour (or until doubled in size.) Gently pat the dough down with well-floured hands. Divide dough into 2 portions and place in the bread pans (I used 2 small, oven-safe Pyrex mixing bowls.) Bake at 350 for 35 minutes (or until golden and pulling away from edges of the pan slightly.)
