Homemade Bread for Beginners EASY Recipe in 5 Minutes of Hands On Time a Day

Enjoying homemade bread doesn't mean slaving away in the kitchen for hours. With my tried and true SIMPLE dough recipe, you'll have two delicious loaves of crusty and chewy artisan bread on your table with just 5 minutes of work.

What's even better, this dough will store perfectly in the refrigerator for up to 14 days, so make this dough up ahead of time and have a hot fresh loaf of bread on the table in about an hour!

No dutch oven? No problem! Though I tend to use my dutch oven for this recipe, I have a special trick that will still yield a nice crust with that perfectly crunchy chew.

Thanks for watching! Have tried this recipe or method before?

[rachelschubert]

I just recently discovered your channel. Completely love it! I am a professional chef who chose to quit career for kids. But I wanted to give a tip. To keep Yeast alive/fresh longer, put it in a glass mason jar in the fridge. The glass will keep it better than the packaging it comes in.

Thanks so much for this recipe and for the time you took to share with us. For those leaving nasty comments, check your hearts. This recipe is quick. The prep time is quick. Having dough made in the fridge is convenient and makes baking bread quick and easy. Be kind, people! ☮️

This recipe is a bread-making dream! No eggs, no milk, no oil, no kneading, yet it's probably the best (and easiest) bread I have ever made. Thank you so much for sharing the video because this bread makes my family (and me) very happy! Delicious!

All these comments, people really don't realize how big a deal bread was throughout history. 90% of human food requires prep of some kind. This really is the microwave generation. I love the idea of making without kneading and then pull a chunk and make what u need good video

You may not see this but I made two loaves of bread last week and brought them to work with a stick of butter. Both were gone before lunch...I got two slices....it was awesome!

[bg-ijuc]

thank you so much for suggesting a cookie or baking sheet with a roasting pan on top to seal in the steam for people who don't have a dutch oven or cast iron with lid! Such an important detail and no one ever says so. NOW, I will try this! YAY! Oh my goodness, I can't wait now! Thanks again!

I have been struggling to make edible bread for about a year now. This recipe has totally changed my bread making game. My family loves this recipe.

[tawnyazeller]

OMG, I've been making bread for 40 years now, I thought my great grandma's recipe was the Boy was I mistaken! Started it yesterday and baked my first loaf today. Crispy and wonderful on the outside, chewy on the inside! Game changer and time saver, absolutely wonderful, I'm be making it again! Thank you for such a great recipe!

[kayedarbee]

This is interesting. I've used a no knead recipe for a few years now and it's the best bread with the greatest texture yet it doesn't require refrigerating it at all. Nearly the same ingredients and measurements, let it rise in bowl until it doubles, use forks to scrape it down the sides which deflates it, use forks to split the dough down the middle and again using the forks, lift each half out and plop into buttered bread loaf pans (or buttered small Pyrex bowls as the original recipe calls for but I like my cast iron loaf pans), let rise again for about 25 min while preheating oven, then bake. Awesome crumb and texture and tastes like my grandmothers bread recipe that has way more steps to make. I can start the bread in the morning and be eating it just a few hours later.

I love that you can defer baking for up 14 days instead of having to bake everything at once. Thank you for posting this recipe!!! 😃

This bread turns out perfect every time and I only refrigerate for one hour. In fact I recently went on vacation and took a loaf. It was so popular I had to make two more loafs in an unfamiliar kitchen while there to appease the group lol. Still turned out absolutely perfect and they dipped it in everything from olive oil to marinara to chicken dip. Also used it to make open face toasted cheese with fresh garden tomatoes and back on. TOTAL

Keep that bulk yeast in the freezer. The other day I realized I was out of yeast packets. Somewhere in my memory, I recalled putting a jar of Redstar in the back of the freezer. Checked the date, it was use by 2006! Gave it a try out of desperation, and it worked great. Stayed active in the freezer, 16 years past the date. Yeah, I know, I need to clean out my freezer more often. That's the problem with frost-free.😂😂

[johannahs]

This bread has been a game changer for me. I keep a batch always going in my fridge so I can always whip up a loaf for dinner. I no longer buy French bread at the grocery store and it makes amazing French toast when starting to go stale. Also... Best cinnamon rolls

[lynnesandifar]

There are some mean people on here…I love your recipe and your taking the time to make this video…I understand that you mean bread quick from what you have premade and is sitting ready in the fridge…awesome!

[lydiafoot]

I made bagels with this recipe this weekend! just added a little extra flour to make a slightly stiffer dough, boiled them for a few minutes on each side and baked them for 25 mins. They were delicious!! So grateful for this dough recipe! Thank you for sharing with us

[larrybeguin]

Melissa, your family is SO lucky to have you! What a beautiful and talented baker you are! My family and I are avid bread enthusiasts, and your contribution is appreciated.

[RobertMacCready]

This video was excellent for 2 reasons...You really know your subject, and there were not a bunch of 10 second segments strung together. It was like I was in the kitchen with you as you explained how to make this awesome bread. Very well done Melissa!

[BillWCA]

I've been making bread at home for many years. I tried Melissa's method yesterday and baked a loaf today. I could smell the apple cider vinegar when I took the loaf out of the cast iron dutch oven. There was no vinegar taste however. The bread is as good as any I've ever made and a lot easier to make. A keeper recipe!

[Redpitdog]

I miss my Grandmas home made bread. Nothing like fresh warm bread. Thanks for making my month water.
