Description
A simple yet delicious no-knead bread recipe that combines the chewy texture of bagels with minimal effort. Perfect for breakfast or as a snack!
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 ¼ cups warm water (about 110°F)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Optional for topping: Sesame seeds, Everything bagel seasoning, Poppy seeds, Coarse sea salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and instant yeast. Mix these dry ingredients well.
- Slowly add the warm water and sugar to the dry mixture. Stir it with a wooden spoon until it comes together into a shaggy dough.
- Once combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a towel and let it rise for about 2 hours.
- After the dough has risen, place it onto a floured surface and shape it into a round loaf.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place your shaped loaf on the sheet, cover it, and let it rise for another 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 450°F.
- Just before baking, sprinkle the surface with your chosen toppings.
- Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
- Once baked, let it cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Letting the bread cool helps improve the texture. Be patient and resist the urge to slice too early.
