A 4-Ingredient No-Knead Artisan Bread Recipe

We all dream of baking homemade bread. But all those ingredients and all that kneading? This no-knead artisan bread recipe (The Simple Veganista) is the ideal solution! It uses just 4 ingredients, and even makes good pizza dough.

Keep fresh dough away from young children and pets. Read more on food safety for people and pets. 

You only need flour, water, salt and yeast to make this loaf. But you have to use the ingredients well. Choose good flour and sea salt, and instant yeast. You’ll also need to let the dough rise for 2 hours (away from children and pets). 

The recipe has instructions for gluten-free loaves, you’ll have to adjust the ingredients slightly. Spread with vegan butter (Flora has no palm oil) or serve with homemade soup or vegan sandwiches.

Why Real Bread is Better

Most ‘fresh-baked bread’ in supermarkets is not! It’s part-baked dough and then just shipped to supermarkets to be baked in what the Real Bread Campaign calls ‘supermarket bread tanning salons!’ If you buy bread, indulge and buy a real loaf from an independent baker or farmers’ market.

Real bakers get up at 3am to start baking bread. Support them, as they are helping to keep ancient crafts alive, and use real ingredients (wheat, yeast, salt and water) over artificial improvers etc.
