Softest No Knead Bread

My Mamma’s Bread (softest no knead bread)

My mamma makes this bread every week. She usually makes two baguette loaves for Sunday dinner. We walk into my parents home and the smell of homemade bread fills the air- instantly making our mouths water and feet run towards the kitchen. Between the adults and the grandchildren the loaves are gobbled up in the same evening. This bread is also delicious with butter and jam for breakfast, as a sandwich bread, or even a plain slice on the go! Who can resist the smell and taste of hot, chewy, tender bread with a perfect crunchy crust? Not me!

It’s the easiest recipe and packed with extra nutrition– just what you would expect from a mother’s bread. This will easily become your go to bread recipe that your entire family will love. There are A LOT of bread recipes out there. After the 2020 lockdown it seems that everyone decided to turn their homes into bakeries! This is a tried and true that our family has made for decades. You can trust it and I promise you will love it.

What makes it special …

Steel cut oats

Adding the steel cut oats adds extra fiber and also makes the bread softer as it absorbs the water without weighing down the bread. Do NOT add regular oats or the bread will change in texture and remain very dense. You don’t actually taste the steel cut oats or even feel them when you eat the bread. They absorb into the dough leaving a moist and delicious texture. It’s the softest bread with the perfect exterior crunch.

Flax meal

Adding ground flax meal makes this bread a little more nutritious without adding the hearty flavor and density of a whole wheat flour. The flax creates a beautiful crumb and perfect crust, plus the nutrition of flax is unbeatable! It’s another hidden ingredient that makes this bread unique and extra special while still creating the most lovable loaf.

Optional Mix-Ins:

• walnuts
