Homemade No Yeast Bread
So it seems we are getting to the point where it is extremely difficult to find yeast, so what’s the next best thing? Yup bread without yeast, so why not make a Sourdough Starter and while you wait until it is active enough to use, you can always make your bread and eat it too with this recipe.
My daughter has already made this bread three times and loves it. She toasts it and of course like any good Italian tops it with her favourite Hazelnut Spread.
The best thing about this bread is it’s made in one bowl, no heavy kneading needed and of course no rising time.
How to make No Yeast Bread
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Then add the water and mix together, either with a fork or spatula.Sprinkle a flat surface with a little flour, place the dough on top and knead until smooth.
Gently flatten with the palm of your hand into an oval shape, then fold like an envelope. Sprinkle with flour if needed.
Then form into your preferred loaf shape and place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Bake for about 25 minutes.
Let cool on a wire rack before serving.
Why cool bread on a wire rack?
Bread should be cooled on a wire rack and not in the pan because the loaf will become moist, soggy, and sponge-like quite quickly, because the moisture in the pan condenses onto the bread. So be sure to immediately move the bread to a wire rack to cool.

Notes
To help with the dense crumb adding a tablespoon of olive oil with the water, should help soften it.
I have no idea why this bread will work some and not for others, it could be the oven temperature, it might be off, it could be the type of flour used in different countries, even the water, . All I know is it works for me, other readers (and no the comments aren’t fake) and it also works for my daughter (as per the video). Thanks! 🙂
