No yeast? No problem! This bread is no joke and super easy to make in a pinch or because it tastes really great!

4 SUPER EASY NO-YEAST BREADS

Today, I’m answering my top asked question: HOW DO YOU MAKE BREAD WITHOUT YEAST?! You see, with all the panic buying going on, a lot of people have been buying yeast with the hope of making bread, which means there are a lot of you wondering how you can make bread without yeast.  

One solution is to go the sourdough route, which is heavenly…except for the fact that you have to have a sourdough starter or wait a few weeks to make your own.

So after some careful studying and experimenting, I have a perfectly easy biscuit-like bread that you can make and use in a variety of situations!  Personally, I used it as a side to soup with butter and jam, a sandwich, grilled cheese, toast, and French toast!  So, seriously, even when the stores are fully stocked with yeast, this is a great bread recipe to have in your arsenal and even better for kids to make. (Just think, if they can make banana bread, they can make this bread and feel super proud of themselves.) 

4 SUPER EASY NO-YEAST BREADS

This is similar to an Irish Soda bread, but much easier! Imagine it like a biscuit bread because without the yeast, it won't have that chewy texture. However, that doesn't mean you can't have a tender, tasty loaf without the yeast.

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (I did 2 cups white flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour)
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 2 cups buttermilk (2 cups milk + 2 Tbsp. white vinegar)
  • 1/4 cup butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and baking soda. Blend egg and buttermilk together, and add all at once to the flour mixture. Mix just until moistened. Stir in butter. Pour into prepared pan.
  • Bake for 65 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the bread comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Wrap in foil for several hours, or overnight, for best flavor.

Notes

VARIATIONS:
Everything Bagel Seasoning: Add 1 Tbsp. Everything Bagel Seasoning to dough and combine. Sprinkle a little more on top before baking.
Cheese: Add 1/2 cup cheese to dough and combine.  Sprinkle a little more cheese on top before baking.
Cinnamon Raisin: Add 1/4 cup raisins and 1 Tbsp. cinnamon to the dough and combine.  Sprinkle the top with cinnamon sugar before baking.
(To make a large batch of this, I tripled the recipe and poured into 4 8.5x4.5 loaf pans.  In each pan I added extra add-ins and baked for 45 minutes, or until the toothpick comes out clean)
