Bread, British

Large Loaf: White (No knead Method)

How to make a no knead large white loaf of bread, easy step by step instructions, from start to finish.

1

Grease a 2lb / 900g loaf tin, see video for tin dimensions.

2

Add the flour to a warm bowl, add the salt and yeast and mix in.

3

Add the water and oil and mix to a slightly sticky dough ball, cover the bowl and set your timer for a least one hour, rise times may vary depending on the temperature of your kitchen.

4

Turn out the risen dough onto a floured surface and knock the dough back, as shown in the video.

5

Form the dough into a ball and return it to the bowl, cover and set your time for 30 minutes or until the dough has doubled in size.

6

Turn out the risen dough onto a floured surface once more and knock it back again.

7

Form the dough into an oval shape and place it in the greased loaf tin, pressing it down to fill in any gaps in the corners.

8

When there is only 10 minutes left on the timer preheat your oven to 190°C that’s 375°F or gas mark 5.

9

Sprinkle a little flour over the top of the dough, cover with a dry, clean, lightweight cloth and set your timer for at least 45 minutes.

10

Once the dough has risen to about 1½ inches / 4cm above the tin, sprinkle on a little flour and get it into the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

11

After the 30 minutes remove from the oven and tin and allow the loaf to cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes.
