Quick No Knead Whole Wheat Bread

This quick and easy No Knead Whole Wheat bread is a delicious bread I make often. With a moist and tender crumb, sweetened with honey, it’s my go-to, no-knead dutch oven bread recipe I love to make.

While no-knead bread recipes can take up to 14 hours to make, this loaf is made in less than half that time.

And time is always precious.

What I Love About This No Knead Whole Wheat Bread

• It’s a delicious 100% whole grain bread
• Has a short ingredient list
• Fun to make with very little work
• I get to use my favorite tool, the Danish Dough Hook
• The rounded shape is perfect for meals

My Favorite Bread Tool

Other than my stand mixer, which you don’t need for no-knead bread, my second favorite tool is the Danish Dough Hook. A recent find, I’ve fallen in love with this inexpensive odd tool.

It quickly and thoroughly mixes dough, bread or otherwise. Almost like magic, with a few turns, it incorporates the ingredients into a shaggy dough. With almost no effort.

You can find them in most home goods stores. I purchased mine at Amazon. They come in varying sizes.

No Knead Whole Wheat Bread Ingredients

This simple list of ingredients will make the most delicious whole wheat bread!

• 3 cups whole wheat flour (I like stone-ground, but any works)
• 1/2 cup steel-cut oats (I switch this up between old fashioned and even Scottish oats when I’ve out of steel-cut oats)
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 package quick-rise yeast (if using active dry yeast, dissolve it in 1/2 cup of the warm water below along with the honey)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 3/4 cup warm water

Ingredients

• 3 cups whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup steel-cut oats
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 package quick-rise yeast
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 3/4 cup water

Instructions

1. Whisk together the flour, oats, salt, and yeast in a large bowl. Add water and honey, stirring with a wooden spoon or Danish Dough Hook until the ingredients are combined. The dough will be very sticky. Cover with plastic wrap; let the dough rise in a warm place until covered with bubbles; about 4 hours.
2. Using a fork, burn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. With floured hands, punch down the dough and fold over onto itself twice. The dough will still be very sticky. Shape the dough into a rectangle if making in a loaf pan. If you're making a round country loaf, shape into a domed circle. Place the dough into a 5 x 9-inch loaf pan or a parchment-lined Dutch Oven. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
3. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
4. Remove plastic wrap; bake until browned, about 40 minutes. Remove bread from the pan and let cool completely before slicing.
