A 2 1/2 Hours No Knead Bread Recipe

I prepared it dividing the dough and making three loafs, I did it as small round bread balls, and I did this today, dividing the dough in two, resulting in a larger loaf (I ate a slice for snack with a thin layer of salted butter and it was delicious).

It is that comfort recipe that you can prepare with no risk and will always solve your bread supply. If you keep it into a plastic bag, it last for two or three days and are excellent when re-heated.

It’s easy to prepare and you don’t need space to work the dough nor kneading machines.

Important: melt the yeast into the water, together with the honey. Delicious potatoes with sundried tomatoes and basil pesto.
