This is the easiest vegan no knead bread!
And it’s so nice just whipping this up knowing theres no unnecessary additives in it. I used to make sourdough weekly, but since moving I stopped looking after my starter 🙈🤣 so this has become something we make multiple times a week due to all of us eating it within two days 🤣 our little one loves it so much too. And the crust ends have been the best for sore teething gums this week 🙌🏼
It’s no knead as it’s made in the food processor, however if you don’t have a food processor this dough is easy enough to hand knead instead (just negates to no knead name) – just mix in a bowl and knead on a floured bench for 5-10mins till soft.
No Knead Bread
Ingredients
- 550 g plain flour (plus some for the bench)
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp instant yeast
- 375 ml water (lukewarm)
- 1 tsp olive oil (for the bowl)
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a food processor with a dough blade (not sharp/a plastic dull blade to mix) and mix on low/dough function for 60seconds. The dough will bunch together into a ball. It should easily roll into a ball in your palm if you pinch a little off; if it’s too sticky, just add a little more flour.
- Using floured hands remove from the food processor and shape into a ball.
- Add to a lightly oiled large bowl and cover with cling film or a wet towel.
- Once double ~4 hours (will take longer in a cold room), gently pull out on to a floured bench and shape into a ball.
- Place onto some baking paper in a Dutch oven and cover with the lid for 20-30 minutes to allow it to rise another 50% in size while you preheat the oven to 230c/450f..
- Bake covered for 30 minutes, then remove the lid and bake a further 15-20mins till golden.
- Leave in the Dutch oven for 5 mins and then remove and place on a cooling rack to cook fully.
- Slice however.
Storage
Store on the bench for 3 days or freeze on slices for 2 months.Nutrition - Per Serving

Hi,
It seems like a great recipe! Is there an alternative if we do not have a Dutch oven?
You can use a cake tin and then make a little dome with alfoil as the lid! x
Also curious-can i use loaf pans? I dont have a dutch oven
Yes! I often bake two at a time and have one in a round cake tin and use alfoil to create a dome like lid for the first part to trap the steam in.
Hiya, can I use spelt flour or wheat?
Hi this is made with wheat flour. I haven’t trialled it with spelt. I assume it will work, just a lot denser.
