Helpful Tips on Making No Yeast Bread

  1. Measuring: Spray measuring cup with no-stick spray before measuring the raw honey, making it easier to remove.
  2. Baking Pan: Use a 9×5 pan. This bread does rise. For my first test, I used a 9×3 pan and a little bit of the batter baked over.
  3. White Whole Wheat Flour: You can substitute 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour and 1 cup White Flour.
  4. Oat Topping: Go light because the excess shakes off after baking. 
  5. Mixing Dough: Do not over-mix the dough or the bread can become tough. Gently mix together the ingredients until the flour is incorporated. 
  6. Baking Temperature: Bake until internal temperature reaches 190 degrees.
    1. I took my first loaf of bread out of the oven at 170 degrees because the toothpick came out fairly clean.
    2. But it wasn’t quite baked inside. I put it back into the oven for another 10 minutes but I left it on the countertop too long for it to finish baking.
    3. But since there are not any eggs in this bread, we were comfortable eating the baked portions. 
  7. King Arthur Temperature: For more information on baking bread please refer to King Arthur’s article on using a thermometer when making bread.

How to Make Bread Without Yeast

  1. Sift Ingredients: Sift together the four, cinnamon, baking powder and baking soda. Add in the salt.
  2. Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together buttermilk, dark brown sugar, raw honey, and olive oil.
  3. Mix Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until flour is incorporated. Do not over-mix. 
  4. Add-Ins: Gently fold in any add-in ingredients.
  5. Baking Pan: Prepare a 9×5 baking pan with non-stick spray. Pour batter into the pan spreading evenly to the corners. 
  6. Bake: Place the baking pan into the oven. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes in a 350 degrees oven until the internal temperature of the bread reaches 190 degrees. 
  7. Cool: Place baking pan on a rack and cool for 15 minutes before removing from the pan. 
  8. Slice: Using a serrated knife, slice only what you plan on enjoying to maintain freshness.
  9. Wrap and Store: Tightly wrap to store the leftover bread. Store on the countertop for a couple of days or in the refrigerator.
