Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast. Add the warm water and vegetable oil, then mix with a spoon or spatula until a sticky dough forms.
2. Let it Rise
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let the dough rest in a warm place for 60-90 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
3. Shape the Dough
Lightly grease a loaf pan. Transfer the dough into the pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Let it rest for another 15-20 minutes to allow for a second rise.
4. Bake to Perfection
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
5. Cool & Enjoy
Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
Tips for the Best No-Knead Bread
Use Warm Water – Not too hot, not too cold! Around 110°F (43°C) is perfect for activating the yeast.
Let It Rise in a Warm Spot – If your kitchen is cool, place the dough in a slightly warm oven (turned off) or near a sunny window.
Don’t Skip the Second Rise – This ensures a soft, airy texture.
Store It Right – Keep your bread wrapped in a clean cloth or in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
