Equipment
- Kitchen scale May use measuring cups but the scale is more accurate.
Ingredients
- 4 cup all-purpose flour (500g)
- 8 teaspoons baking powder (36¾g)
- 3 teaspoons granulated sugar (12½g)
- 1½ teaspoon kosher salt * see notes (9g) If using table salt decrease amount to 1 teaspoon.
- 2¼ cups milk (549g)
- ¼ cup oil (54g) use olive oil, canola, sunflower, grapeseed - whatever plain oil you prefer.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉.
- Grease a 9X5" Loaf pan (22X13 cm) then line with parchment paper with about 2"-inch overhang so you can lift the bread loaf out of the pan.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Mix together the milk and oil then pour the liquid in the well.
- Stir until the flour is completely mixed. The batter will be thick.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Grease your fingers with no stick spray and pat the dough into the pan so it is perfectly lever. Smooth the top with your greased fingers.
- Bake the bread for 30 minutes at 375℉.
- Remove the loaf from the oven, lower the oven temperature to 350℉, loosely cover the bread with foil and return it to the oven for an additional 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then use the excess paper to lift the bread from the pan and transfer to a cooling rack.
- Cool completely before slicing. At least 45 minutes.
Notes
STORAGE: Prior to storage, make sure that this No Yeast Breast is completely cool. You can then store your bread in a sealed container for up to 3 days at room temperature. If you intend to keep the bread for an extended amount of time, consider wrapping it and freezing it instead.
VARIATIONS:
-
- For cheesy no-yeast bread: Add in some grated parmesan cheese (about ½ cup).
- For rosemary and lemon no-yeast bread: Add 2 teaspoons of chopped fresh rosemary and 2 teaspoons of chopped lemon zest.
- For a nutty no-yeast bread: Add 1 cup of coarsely chopped walnuts or other nuts of your choice.
- For olive no-yeast bread: Add ⅓ cup pitted niçoise olives, ⅓ cup pitted dry-cure olives and ⅓ cup pitted picholine olives, all coarsely chopped.

- Muffins: You can easily make muffins with this bread recipe. Add the batter to a muffin tray and bake for 22-25 minutes at 350F.
- Ingredient swaps: Non-dairy milk can be used instead of whole milk. Use self-raising flour instead of all-purpose flour and omit the baking powder. Baking soda (about 2 teaspoons) can be used instead of baking powder but then you’ll need to combine it with 1 teaspoon of white vinegar so that it activates.
