“Traditional” No Knead Bread Videos… proof for 8 to 24 hours (updated & newer videos on top)
In France bread is a religion to the point where law prohibits bakers from using fat or oil in long loaves and boules. French bread must be made simply… with water, salt and yeast and flour, while Italian breads typically include olive oil. Thus, I call my long loaves… American baguettes and generally include extra virgin olive oil. I used 2 Matfer double loaf French bread pans to make these loaves. (June 2020 – 9:41)

No-Knead Rosemary Bread – Appetizer Loaves (updated)

No-Knead Honey Oatmeal (updated)
Fresh-from-the-oven bread with the wholesome goodness of oats and the sweetness of honey… what’s not to like? This loaf is as delicious to eat as it is pleasing to the eye. I garnished the loaves with oats, then baked one loaf in a Dutch oven and the other in a PMDO. (Nov 2018 – 8:06)
.
This is one of my most popular loaves. My first multigrain loaves used 2 cups bread flour and 1 cup wheat flour. One time I forgot the wheat flour and used 3 cups bread flour. Surprise, surprise… the multigrain country white became one of my most popular breads. I had assumed those who liked grains also liked wheat breads, but there appears to be a significant segment of our society who likes multigrain bread without the wheat bread taste. Wheat is one of those things you either like or don’t like, but it doesn’t mean you don’t like multigrain bread. Video demonstrates how to make no-knead multigrain bread in a bread pan and “poor man’s Dutch oven” (PMDO). (Sept 2018 – 7:41)

The technique is worth watching and it makes a special loaf. (Jan 2014 – 9:24)

Thank you Artisan Steve!
We’ve been following your Youtube channel and love the way you make the No Knead Bread and how easy you make it!!! My Fiance made your Chedder No Knead Cheese bread and it’s been awesome!! The second time we made it, we added a few sprinkles of cheese on top after we took the lid off the Dutch Oven and it was great!
Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing!!!

I don’t remember what theme i used, but GoDaddy.com has excellent customer service and may be able to help you. Steve
alot of info thank u alot
Your instructions are great for us beginners so that we are successful from the very first bread making efforts. Is there away to slow the proofing time when the weather turns HOT. I make the dough in the late afternoon for baking the next AM. I am finding that by 10pm that the dough has risen to the top of the 3qt glass bowl . How do I slow the process down?
Thanks
Place the dough in a cooler location or get a 3-1/2 qt bowl. Steve

Unquestionably consider that that you stated. Your favorite justification seemed to be
at the net the simplest thing to keep in mind of.
I say to you, I definitely get annoyed at the same time as folks think about concerns that they just do not realize about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the highest and outlined out the whole thing without having side
effect , other people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more.
Thank you
I believe what you wrote was actually very logical. However, think
on this, what if you composed a catchier post title?
I ain’t saying your information isn’t good, however what if you added something that makes people want more?
I mean Traditional Videos | No-Knead Bread Central is kinda
plain. You might look at Yahoo’s home page and see how they create article
headlines to get people interested. You might try adding a video or a related pic or two
to grab readers interested about what you’ve got to say.
In my opinion, it could make your website a little livelier.
Hello this is kind of of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I
wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Word Press is WYSIWYG. Steve
Excellent write-up. I certainly love this website. Keep it up!
Right now it seems like BlogEngine is the top blogging platform available
right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what
you are using on your blog?
I’m with GoDaddy.com. Steve
Hi Steve. Loved your videos and bought your book “My no-Knead Bread Cookbook” Adore it.
Was wondering if you have a recipe for a No-Knead Pumpernickel bread like the kind you get in the Cheesecake Restaurants. It is sort of a French type. You are so talented that I thought you might have an idea on this. Thank You. Julia C
I have a rye bread, but not pumpernickel. Steve
In fact no matter if someone doesn’t understand after that its up
to other viewers that they will assist, so here it takes place.
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is needed to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100 certain. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Kudos
Go to a service like GoDaddy.com… it’s not that expensive. Steve
I don’t know whether it’s just me or if perhaps everybody else experiencing
issues with your blog. It appears as though some of the
written text within your content are running off the
screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback and
let me know if this is happening to them too? This might be a
issue with my internet browser because I’ve had this happen previously.

Hmm it appears like your blog ate my first comment (it was super

but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any helpful hints for
inexperienced blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate
it.
Don’t focus on profit. Focus on customer service (profit is the byproduct of customer service). No popup screens… they irritate viewers. And don’t have so many ads that it will take 5 minutes to open. Steve

Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this blog could certainly be one of the greatest in its field. Wonderful blog!|
I followed the oatmeal honey recipe and proofed overnight and my dough was very very wet what did I do wrong?
You probably watched an old video using old technique. Since then I developed “roll-to-coat”… I dust the wet dough with flour before I roll it out of the bowl. You may want to check my website (nokneadbreadcentral.com) and watch my updated video “No-Knead Honey Oatmeal… (super easy… no mixer… no bread machine)”. Steve
Hi again Steve. I did use the new video it was wet after the 24 hour proofing could it be because I air rated my bread flour so it was not enough flour? I was thinking that it might be that. What I did was add more flour and oats and let it proof again in the loaf pan and baked it. I haven’t cut it yet to see inside because it’s for my daughter.. I will let you know
Thanks for all your great videos.
Hi again Steve
Just to let you know the loaf came out great my daughter said it was great so all in all adding the extra flour and letting it rest for an hour worked. Thanks again for your great recipes.
Great goods from you, man. I’ve keep in mind your stuff previous to and you’re just too great. I actually like what you’ve received here, really like what you are saying and the best way by which you say it. You’re making it entertaining and you continue to care for to stay it smart. I can’t wait to learn far more from you. That is actually a great site.
Thank you for all your bread making help and problem solving. I have had VERY poor luck making a sourdough starter but just found a new product from Red Star Yeast … “platinum instant sourdough culture”. It states to use the .63oz (18 G) packet to replace the yeast in making a loaf of bread. It indicated that it replaces one 1/4 oz packet of their yeast. Can you advise how much of this powdered culture I would need to use in your Beer bread recipe to replace the 1/4teaspoon of yeast that is normally used.
Thanks,
Hi Steve,
I just finished making the Honey Whole Wheat Bread from your cookbook. I used the traditional method, which works best for me. I followed it exactly. It turned out beautifully. My question is: How do you get whole wheat dough to rise as well as bread flour does? I’m enjoying your recipes and want everything to turn out excellent. I’d appreciate any suggestions you might have.
Thanks,
Jackie
I blend it 50/50 with bread flour. Steve
Hi Steve, I tried the no knead bread recipe in a convection oven which cannot go beyond 200C 🙁, proofed the dough overnight, baked it after shaping in an open bread pan as I don’t have a Dutch oven. Baked it for 30 mins @200 C and for another 10 minutes as it didn’t brown . Ended up with a really over chewy crust and a dense crumb….
Want to understand what changes I need to make to avoid the rubbery texture and get a softer and open crumb. Pls note my oven’s max temp is 200C…will shaping the dough into smaller rolls help ??
The hardness of the crust is controlled by the amount of time it is baked with the top off. Steve
Steve, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for this Wealth of Knowledge! I have tried to make bread for years….made your raisin cinnamon bread!!! AWESOME!!! MY FAMILY LOVED the texture and taste!!!
Question: Could you share a video of making sourdough bread that has a strong sourdough taste…? Also, do you have any receipes for creating pie crusts…?
Again, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR SHARING your videos and recipes…it really makes a difference when you can see the process of baking. 🙂
Hi Steve, I just love how easy you teach on making these no kneed breads. By the way, do you have any recipes for using sorghum flour for no kneed bread? I would appreciate your thoughts on that. Most of what’s online is either a sourdough bread or something with too many ingredients. Thanks.
Hi Steve. Just wanted to let you know that I made your Cinnamon and Raisin recipe and baked it this morning at 6. One word…PERFECTION!!! The house smelled fantastic and when my wife woke up with a smile thats even more Perfect. Thank you. Jim
Hi Steve,
I have been using your method of no knead bread for several years now. This past June I started using your “poor man’s” Dutch oven method and I have to tell you the method is absolutely great! I have tried several of your recipes in the PMDO recipe book and have had great success and have turned several others onto your technique with everyone being extremely happy with the outcome.
In the last day or so I have come to realize that King Arthur Flour will no longer be stocking and selling their Harvest 8 Grain package which is used in the multigrain loaves.
I contacted them and was told it was a corporate decision. My question for you is do you have a recommendation that can be used for the KAF product?
Also I wanted to tell you that although my mother (who has been gone for better than 20 years now) always made her own bread, it would be a huge bowl of dough that would produce 7/8 loaves of bread. No recipe and no exact measurements, just all by feel….but I wish she had lived long enough to use your method because as she got older, that big bowl of dough was a lot for her to handle. She would have been so amazed at the outcome of your recipes.
Thank you for all the hard work you have put into the web site and videos and for sharing all the wonderful recipes! Stay healthy in the coming year and many blessings during the Christmas season.
At the very beginning I tried to develop my own blend with limited success and a 9 grain was cost prohibited. In my tests I did have very good success with my multigrain (sesame seed, flax & oats) and you may want to try the “everything” bagel seed pack. Steve
Hi Steve, Thank you so much for your videos. I made your simple no-knead bread and it came out perfectly! My question – I am happy to buy your cookbooks, but wondering if you have a recipe for egg bread in any of them? Not braided challah, just egg bread in a bread pan. Thanks again.
No, I don’t have an egg bread recipe in any f the cookbooks. And, to browse cookbooks go to my website (nokneadbreadcentral.com) because it has a complete list… organized logically… with a brief description… including links to Amazon.com. Steve
Hi Steve: I’m going to make your Honey Whole Wheat bread, but I prefer the 8.5 x 4.5 2-pan method, “Dutch oven” technique. What are the baking instructions for this, temp & time? Thanks! another Steve — in Folsom, CA.
Your ‘world’s easiest no knead sandwich bread’ with the poor man’s dutch oven is life changing! I grew up with my mom making fantastic whole wheat sandwich bread in batches of 4 every other week, and I make a mean ‘kneaded’ loaf myself, but I needed something quicker with little kids on hand. This is as easy as a bread machine, except so much better. The tradeoff in time/work between my kneaded loaf vs this loaf is SO worth it.
Hi, Steve. I baked your updated version of no-knead cinnamon raisin bread this morning. I substituted honey for the brown sugar, as we have a sugar allergy in my family. I measured a generous 2 tablespoons into a measuring cup, then poured the water until it reached 16 ounces. I used my 13×4-inch pullman loaf pan with lid as my PMDO. I proofed for an hour, and during that time, I preheated the oven for about forty minutes. I preheated the oven with a baking stone as I read in a bread baking book that using the baking stone would produce a crisp crust.
These were the only things I did in addition to your instructions. I browned the crust in the pullman pan for only three minutes. I cut into it when it was cool enough to handle without hot pads. My kids and I couldn’t wait any longer after having only a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast.
The crust was crispy and the crumb was soft. An overall perfect texture: crispy, soft, chewy. I was very surprised. I tried several other recipes before yours, and they all fell well below my expectations. The texture of your no-knead cinnamon raisin bread was perfect.
However, my kids were wondering if I can make it a little more sweet and a little more cinnamon-y. Next time, I’ll make it with brown sugar, and instruct that one member of my family not to eat the loaf.
Would you suggest I add a little more yeast if I add a heaping tablespoon of cinnamon?
I use the Costco brand. Maybe I should try a different type of cinnamon, like King Arthur’s Vietnamese Cinnamon.
Instead of increasing the amount of yeast… proof in a warm environment. Steve
Hi Steve!
I have been making your no knead breads for awhile and love them! I’m a bread baker from the 70’s and this method is wonderful. Have you worked with sprouted grains? Most sprouted recipes I have found use about 1/2 cup of sprouted grains. Can I add them and the set aside overnight as usual?
Thanks for all the videos and books!
Yes, the sprouted grains would add a lot of flavor. Steve
Hi Steve! First of all, thank you. I am making wonderful bread and I owe it all to you. I usually make the rustic sourdough bread from King Arthur’s website. Do you a no knead option using sourdough starter?
I have been using your PMDO for about 1.5 yrs. I need to replace my two loaf pans for my sandwich loafs. I am thinking about purchasing two cast iron loaf pans for my new PMDO set up. Would this work? If so should the pans be pre-heated? Using my current two metal loaf pans I don’t preheat them but when I bake boules I do pre-heat my cast iron pan and lid.
Thank you for all your instructions and recipes along with your recommendation.
Donna Cruz
They will work. Do not preheat… extend baking time 5 to 10 minutes. Steve
When making either traditional or turbo cinnamon roll recipe can you use lactose free nonfat milk? If so what adjustments to the recipe are needed?
Thank you, Donna Cruz
Steve,
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I made a few of your recipes. They all turned out great. I always thought you could not add salt with the yeast. I see that the salt does not diminish the yeast’s properties.
This morning I baked your honey wheat bread with sunflower seeds (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsxGGX5KwnQ). The best no knead bread I’ve made so far.
Since I used stone ground wheat, I changed out 2 T for vital wheat gluten. Needless to say, we already ate half of it. The only thing different I would do is cook it in a smaller dutch over for a change in height. However, the bread rose beautifully in a 6 qt.
I’m going to try some of your turbo breads next!
God bless you, Steve!
Thank You Steve.
I am so happy to report that the videos you make and your recipes are awesome.
I especially like to use my PMDO.
Have you ay thought of doing a Ciabatta bread
if so I can hardly wait.
Love the way you teach.
Gordon
Steve. Where did you buy the olive trays for proofing
I got them at Target, but that was a long time ago. Steve
Question! Is there a baking time difference between baking bread in a glass/ceramic loaf pan versus a metal one? Thank you love your bread!!
Metal pans come to temperature much faster than glass or cast iron. I typically add 5 minutes for bakeware with more mass. Steve
How long should you wait before slicing the bread after taking it out of the oven?
Typically you wait until bread comes to room temperature (it will slice cleaner), but you can slice it at any time if you need to… I typically slice when it still warm. Steve
I was looking for some random information and landed on your website. If that I start read the stuff and found really interesting and informative. The content is very well written and nicely designed. Well done

Hi! Adore the Steve Gamelin way to make bread! Haven’t bought store bought in a year! BUT as hard as I try, slicing a PMDI loaf without tearing a few pieces. Can anyone, perhaps Mr. Gamelin himself, have any recommendations!!!!!
Steve, I am an evolving bread baker and tried your honey whole wheat bread last night. I was at first skeptical that 1/4 t of yeast would suffice, but this morning I had a beautifully risen losf, even though I misread the recipe and added 2T of EVOO. The dough from the very beginning looked stickier than yours, but I soldiered on. I degassed the dough and added more seeds and proofed the dough in an 8″ non-stick pan for about 45minutes as I waited for my Lodge Dutch oven to preheat in a 450* oven. GThe dough was still looking good , but it did stick to the towel a bit; flipped it into the oven (not fast enough and it stuck a little to one side); removed the lid after 35 minutes and it looked beautiful; left it in 7 more minutes to brown; removed from the oven — gorgeous !!; inverted the Dutch oven, disaster !! It was as if the bottom crust had been super glued to the bottom of the Dutch oven. What did I do wrong and how can I correct it? Thank-you. I really enjoy your straight forward videos and thank you in advance if you are able to get to this and give me an answer.
As Dutch ovens age they lose their non-stick properties. As a general rule I now use no-stick spray in all bakeware just before adding the dough. Steve
Your blog serves as a constant reminder that we can overcome any obstacle with a positive mindset.
Steve
Do you have a pumpernickel recipe?
No… but I do have rye. Steve
Hello Steve, I am making a no-knead bread as I type this, using a dutch oven, but have decided to begin using the PMDO version for MANY reasons including the end resulting loaf shape. I will need to purchase the two pans (already have clips). It seems to me that I should spend a bit extra and get quality pans (more expensive). If you have any other advice on the pans I would appreciate it. Also, I could see myself making many varieties of your breads (big fan), but I don’t see a Portuguese Sweet Bread. I bet it’s because it would be impossible in the no-knead style ? Finally, (sorry), I purchased one of your books for my good friend who was just starting out. But, I didn’t get one myself. If the answers to my questions are in the book, feel free to say, just buy the book.

Hi Steve, Great videos Thank You 🙂 Please, would you consider a video on New York style bagels. Crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside. What they’re pedaling these days are nothing but cheap bread with a whole in the middle.
