Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar or honey, if using.
- Use a whisk or spoon to blend well.
- Slowly add the water and stir with a wooden spoon or your hands, until well mixed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set in a draft-free place to rise for 4 hours.
- Grease an 8-by-4-inch loaf pan with butter.
- Scrape the dough out onto a well-floured surface, such as a silicone mat, parchment paper, or a cutting board.
- With floured hands, shape the dough into a rough rectangle about 8 1/2 inches by 12 inches. Add small amounts of flour, if needed, to keep it from sticking to the surface. Try to handle the dough gently so it doesn't deflate too much. You want lots of little air bubbles through the loaf.
- Gently fold the ends to form a rough loaf shape. Drop it into the prepared pan.
- Cover the pan loosely with a clean, lightweight dish towel, and set in a draft-free place for 1 hour, or until it is approximately double in size.
- Heat the oven to 425 F. With a sifter or fine-mesh sieve, dust the risen loaf with a little more flour.
- Bake the loaf for 25 minutes, until it's a deep golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Remove from the oven and turn the bread out onto a rack to cool completely before slicing.
- Enjoy!

SUPER-QUICK NO-KNEAD BREAD
This is the latest version of bread coming out of my kitchen. Husband and Son eat it almost as soon as it is out of the oven which makes me grouse at them about sore stomachs. Blahblahblah is probably all they hear because they carry on eating it! Sometimes I make plain crust bread and other times I roll the dough in cracked wheat before placing it in the pans. Either way the bread has a wonderfully crisp crust and a really tender inside.

Steps:
- Mix all dry ingredients together.
- Add water and stir in until a really sticky dough has formed.
- Cover with a cloth and leave in a warm place to rise.
- Punch down and divide dough into two balls.
- If you are using the cracked wheat, roll the dough balls in the cracked wheat now.
- Place into well greased pans and bake at 400F for 1 hour.
- Cook's note: No need for a second rising as the bread rises perfectly in the oven on baking.
NO-KNEAD BREAD
Here is one of the most popular recipes The Times has ever published, courtesy of Jim Lahey, owner of Sullivan Street Bakery. It requires no kneading. It uses no special ingredients, equipment or techniques. And it takes very little effort - only time. You will need 24 hours to create the bread, but much of this is unattended waiting, a slow fermentation of the dough that results in a perfect loaf. (We've updated the recipe to reflect changes Mark Bittman made to the recipe in 2006 after publishing and receiving reader feedback. The original recipe called for 3 cups flour; we've adjusted it to call for 3 1/3 cups/430 grams flour.) In 2021, J. Kenji López-Alt revisited the recipe and shared his own tweaked version.

Steps:
- In a large bowl combine flour, yeast and salt. Add 1 1/2 cups/345 grams water and stir until blended; dough will be shaggy and sticky. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough rest at least 12 hours, preferably about 18, at warm room temperature, about 70 degrees.
- Dough is ready when its surface is dotted with bubbles. Lightly flour a work surface and place dough on it; sprinkle it with a little more flour and fold it over on itself once or twice. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rest about 15 minutes.
- Using just enough flour to keep dough from sticking to work surface or to your fingers, gently and quickly shape dough into a ball. Generously coat a cotton towel (not terry cloth) with flour, wheat bran or cornmeal; put dough seam side down on towel and dust with more flour, bran or cornmeal. Cover with another cotton towel and let rise for about 2 hours. When it is ready, dough will be more than double in size and will not readily spring back when poked with a finger.
- At least a half-hour before dough is ready, heat oven to 450 degrees. Put a 6- to 8-quart heavy covered pot (cast iron, enamel, Pyrex or ceramic) in oven as it heats. When dough is ready, carefully remove pot from oven. Slide your hand under towel and turn dough over into pot, seam side up; it may look like a mess, but that is OK. Shake pan once or twice if dough is unevenly distributed; it will straighten out as it bakes. Cover with lid and bake 30 minutes, then remove lid and bake another 15 to 30 minutes, until loaf is beautifully browned. Cool on a rack.
Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the yeast activate more quickly and evenly, resulting in a better rise.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour too much, making the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: The ideal temperature for rising dough is between 75°F and 85°F. A warm spot in your kitchen, such as near the oven or on top of the refrigerator, is a good option.
- Don't let the dough rise for too long: Over-proofing can cause the bread to collapse or develop a sour taste. Once the dough has doubled in size, it's ready to bake.
- Bake the bread in a preheated oven: This will help create a crispy crust and a fluffy interior.

One-dish no-knead bread is a simple and delicious way to make homemade bread.
