The Best Quick & Easy No-Yeast Bread Recipe

I love freshly baked homemade bread, which I can enjoy with sweet or savory spreads at any time of day. Whether it’s with a salad at lunchtime, with soup in the evening, or as a sandwich on the go or in between meals – bread is a beloved classic that never goes out of style!

Especially if you bake bread from scratch, it not only tastes better, but is also healthier, because you know what’s in it! In addition to traditional bread varieties such as light wheat bread, mixed grain bread, rye bread or wholegrain bread, bread recipes without yeast are particularly popular because they are made quickly.

In this blog post, I’ll show you how to make a wholesome, healthy bread from scratch in no time without using yeast. It’s fluffy, soft, totally delicious and better than from the bakery! In addition, it is of course naturally vegan and can be made gluten-free too!

Homemade Bread without Yeast

You don’t necessarily need yeast to bake bread, so I didn’t use it in this easy recipe. This means that this bread does not need time to rest or rise, so you can prep the dough in only 5 minutes. To make it, all you need to do is mix all the ingredients together and then put it in a baking dish in the oven. It’s that easy!

Seed and Nut Bread

You can bake the bread classically without any seeds or add your favorite nuts and seeds like sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, chia seeds, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, etc. Just be creative!

This bread recipe is very versatile and works with just about any type of flour. For the proportion of whole wheat flour, you can use either wheat, rye or spelt flour, or a mixture of all.
