🌟 Introduction
Some recipes aren’t trendy. They aren’t fancy. They don’t need improvement.
This is one of them.
This old-fashioned daily bread method is simple, patient, and deeply satisfying. No kneading machines. No rush. Just flour, water, time — and a technique passed down by someone who’s been baking longer than most of us have been alive.
This is bread the way it used to be made.
🧾 Ingredients
Just the essentials — nothing more:
3 cups all-purpose flour (or bread flour)
1½ cups warm water
1 tsp salt
½ tsp dry yeast
That’s it. Four ingredients. Pure magic.
🍳 Instructions
In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and yeast.
Add warm water and stir until a sticky dough forms.
Cover the bowl with a cloth or plastic wrap.
Let rest at room temperature for 12–18 hours.
The dough will rise, bubble, and smell slightly sour — perfect.
Turn dough onto a floured surface.
Gently fold it a few times (do NOT knead).
Shape into a round loaf.
Place on parchment paper and rest 30 minutes.
Bake at 230°C / 450°F for 30–35 minutes until golden.
🔥 Cooking Method
This bread uses the no-knead fermentation method, relying on time instead of effort. Long fermentation develops flavor, texture, and digestibility — exactly how bread was made before shortcuts existed.
🕰️ A Little History
Before mixers and instant methods, bread was made slowly. Older bakers understood that time is the most important ingredient. This method was common in rural kitchens, where bread was baked daily with calm hands and deep patience.
The 70-year-old master knew this secret well: 👉 Don’t force the dough. Let it teach you.
🧩 Formation & Texture
Crisp, crackly crust
Soft, airy inside
Natural holes and chew
Every loaf is slightly different — and that’s the beauty.
