BREAD IN A BAG – One of my favorite bread of all time!
Easy no-knead bread made right in a plastic bag — minimal cleanup, soft crumb and a crisp crust. Perfect for sandwiches or toasting.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast about one 7 g packet
- 1.25 cups warm water about 105°F to 115°F
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large resealable plastic bag, add the flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast. Seal the bag and shake vigorously to combine the dry ingredients.
- Pour the warm water and vegetable oil into the bag with the dry ingredients. Seal the bag and gently knead and squeeze the mixture through the plastic until a sticky dough forms and the ingredients are evenly hydrated.
- Leave the sealed bag in a warm spot and let the dough rise inside the bag until doubled in size, about 45 to 60 minutes.
- Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Open the bag, transfer the dough into the pan, shape the top gently with damp hands, and cover with a clean towel. Let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes for a short second rise.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the loaf for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
For best texture, allow the loaf to cool completely before slicing. Dough can be mixed in advance and refrigerated for a slower rise.
