Hate kneading bread? This recipe is for you! The Easiest No-Knead Bread will become a family favorite for family dinner, holiday gatherings or even for a quick week-night meal!

The Easiest No-Knead Bread Recipe

MEET THE BEST NO-KNEAD BREAD!

This quick, no-knead bread recipe is our go-to bread. We’re talking days that I don’t have time to roll out rolls, or knead bread for hours.

You know the days that you want to indulge in warm, homemade bread (just like all the characters in the Little Red Hen) without all the work that the Little Red Hen has to do.

If you’re in that boat, then you’ll love this French Peasant Bread. I have to give credit to my dear friend Marcelle who shared this recipe with us so many years ago. It’s a staple around here. And also a favorite to give away for new baby dinners or when someone is sick.

ONLY TAKES 5 MINUTES TO PREP

This bread literally takes like 5 minutes to prep. You’ll just throw the water, yeast, flour, salt into a bowl. Let it rise for a few hours and then you’ll form it into loaves. After it rises again for about 30 minutes, you’ll bake it.

And viola! You’ve got yourself warm, homemade bread with little effort!

THIS NO-KNEAD BREAD IS GREAT WITH:

  • Your favorite soup 
  • Rosemary Ranch Chicken
  • Straight out of the oven with butter and jam

Eat it with soup. Eat it with jam. Or eat it straight out of the oven. It will please your Fall-loving, bread-loving heart.

  • On Sunday night I told my friend that I’m cancelling Christmas. I was feeling very grinchy as the (what felt like) hundreds of ornaments scattered around the house that I had already placed on the tree 5x and the stuff and pressures that can come from the season was getting to me.
My husband and I have already greatly simplified Christmas in so many aspects over the past few years, but I was still feeling overwhelmed ... So I’ve been quieting Christmas over here.  I’m only setting up one tree, leaving most  of our nativities from world travels in the box, not putting garland on the railing that my kids keep pulling down, and not wrapping our Christmas books for our book advent this year. Because if I pick up one more piece of paper off the floor I might scream! 🤣 And Christmas cards? Usually mine are already in the mail by now, but haven’t even started. So who knows if they’ll go out this year?! I’m craving space and emptiness in all senses of the word so I can feel more of Christ’s peace, and have the energy and positivity to spend time serving and making the memories I really want with my family instead of being a mean old witch.
I’m already feeling so much better and maybe Christmas will come after all.🎄❤️ #christmas #simplifylife #simplechristmas #cozyminimalist
