There is a 3 minutes no-knead bread we have been recommended by a good friend of ours that we cannot wait to share with you all.
Anna is a good friend from when we used to work together. She has moved with her partner to Brittany a few years ago, when Brexit was still a distant dream. Since living there, they have been cooking up a storm. And this bread came highly recommended because of how quick it is to make.
Of course, when you mention no-knead I am all over the place with doubts. And I tend to never trust recipes like this. Yet I have to admit this one not only works, but it is also brilliant and oh, so tasty!
To put things into perspective, we have made this bread pretty much every day the past couple of weeks. It’s meant to last a day or two, but it never gets to the next day because we are addicted to it.
We are already planning to change some things around, and add some flavours to it. But in the meanwhile, we cannot take credit for this amazing recipe from the lovely Nagi at RecipeTin Eats!
Ahead we go to prep the 3 minutes no-knead bread then.
3 Minutes No-Knead Bread
From the website RecipeTin Eats.
Ingredients
- 450g strong bread flour
- 2 tsp instant yeast
- 2-3 tsp salt
- 375ml warm water
- Extra flour for dusting
Instructions
- Mix the flour, yeast and salt in a large bowl. Add the water and mix well using a wooden spoon until everything is combined.
- Cover with cling film and let it rise until it doubles in size - roughly 2 to 3 hours depending on how warm the spot is, make sure you keep an eye on it!
- Preheat the oven to 230°C, and make sure to include your pot in there to warm up as well.
- Now to shaping the dough: sprinkle some flour on the work surface and move the dough from the bowl, then sprinkle it with some extra flour.
- Shape it with your hands to create a round, folding inwards to the middle of the dough, then flip it on some baking paper and shape further if needed. The less you work it, the better the result here.
- Once the pot is hot enough, remove it from the oven and use the paper to place the dough into it, then place the lid and bake for 30 minutes covered.
- After the 30 minutes are up, remove the lid and bake for a further 10 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
- Let it cool completely on a rack before slicing - but a good 10 minutes could do, if you can't wait.
Notes
- It can be frozen for up to 3 months.
- Nagi has a refrigerated version too on her website, it helps with developing flavour. Check that out if you intend to refrigerate the dough overnight.
- Nagi's shaping process is slightly different from what I found to be working better for me, so you can also check that out on her website should you wish to.
We have been eating this for a few days now, making it every morning. We have also been thinking about some different things we want to try with it, including adding flavours with herbs and veg.
I also want to try out a focaccia-style baking prop for this same dough. But you’ll have to wait a little longer for it.

Oh wow this looks delicious! I have only made bread once before, but it was a long & complicated process (there were 3 flavors that I twisted together), but this looks so easy & I want to try making it!
Thank you Karalee – want to know more about your bread now xx
This looks so good! I am honestly bread obsessed, could genuinely eat just plain bread all day! We’ve tried a few recipes and they’ve mostly been disastrous, so will be saving this one to give it a go!
This one is fool-proof Nicci, it cannot go wrong! Let us know what you think x
This looks good. We have been doing a similar one but in how quick but will check this one out. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much Fransic x
This looks delicious and you can’t beat the smell of freshly cooked bread xx
I love the smell of freshly cooked bread too! Ha! Thank you Della xx
What a nice recipe! I don’t have a machine to knead, so it’s always quite a big task,m. This looks like a great way to avoid all of that!
This will be absolutely effortless, Lisa – you’ll love it! x
Wow this looks delish! I will have to try to see if I can make a gluten free version. I haven’t tried to make my own bread yet, but I think it’s about time!
I am sure with GF flour & yeast you should be absolutely fine Ellie x
Okay, this looks delicious! I feel like the only person who hasn’t tried making bread themselves in the last year, but this looks like a good, simple starting place! I may just have to try ❤️
Meredith, this will be a walk in the park – it is an effortless loaf you’ll end up eating as it comes out of the oven, trust me x

Thank you Mia – it is so scrumptious! Let me know what you think x
My, this bread is making my mouth water! It has a beautiful golden top and, cut into, must have such a lovely crust! I love that it is only five ingredients too.
Thanks for sharing!
It is such a great bread, Jaya – you must try it!
This looks absolutely delicious. I tried making bread during the first lockdown and it was a complete fail but I’d love to have another go using this recipe.
Oh no, Kelly! Let me know what you think – it’s easy and so so tasty! x

Thank you Toma x
Oooh this looks amazing! I’ve never made bread before so will definitely give this a go, now we’re back in lockdown!
Hey Ellie, lockdown only means one thing – homemade fresh bread! If you, like me, sourdough it’s not much of an option so this works wonderfully! x
That sounds delicious and so hearty for the winter. Thanks for sharing!
It would be so great with soup, right? x
This looks fantastic! I tried making fresh cinnamon rolls last week and it was the longest process! It scarred me from using yeast for a while haha! I adore fresh bread and will be trying this! Thanks for sharing Simona xo
Oh I would love a fresh cinnamon roll right now – they take so long though, you are absolutely right! This is such a simple recipe, Lynn, I am sure your fear of yeast will go! xx
Ohhhh, this looks so yummy! I’ve been making Katy Beskow’s Beer bread, which is even easier, but it doesn’t have a really good crust, so I really want to try this recipe now 🙂
I need to look into Katy’s Beer bread! Let me know if you try it and what you think of it x
I had no idea you could make something so tasty so easily! The end result looks absolutely delicious, I’m definitely bookmarking this to come back too. Great recipe 🙂
