Miracle No Knead Bread

This amazing artisan no-knead bread recipe will make you feel like a rock-star baker! It has a perfectly crispy crust with a soft and chewy texture on the inside. Plus, it couldn’t be easier to make from home!

Homemade bread really falls into its own category when it comes to the ultimate comfort food! Some of my favorite homemade bread recipes include The Best Homemade Garlic Bread and 30-minute Asiago Cheese Rolls and Cream Cheese Pumpkin Bread.

No Knead Bread

All it takes is one time making this no-knead bread recipe and you will be completely hooked! It requires basically no effort at all, and it’s absolutely amazing! It has the best texture. It’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. And it’s also easy to add in different mix-in items like cheese, nuts, or seasonings to really take the flavor up a notch (see the tips below on how to do this!).

My kids love helping me make this no-knead bread, and I love that I always have what I need to make it! We stir the ingredients together the night before, and it’s ready to bake the next day. On the rare occasions that we don’t devour the warm loaf in one sitting, we enjoy the leftovers for days–it makes yummy grilled cheese sandwiches! Or you can try dipping it into this chicken alfredo dip or even spreading some of this delicious cinnamon honey butter on it. Then, your kids will eat it all up in one sitting!

Ingredients in No Knead Bread

This bread is super easy to make and only takes a few ingredients! This makes it easy to bake it whenever you want! See the recipe card below for a list of exact ingredient measurements.

Flour: This creates the base of your bread.
Sea salt: I liike to use coarse sea salt for it’s flavor and texture.
Dry yeast: Using active, dry yeast is what helps this dough to rise and create that soft, perfect texture.
Warm water: The warm water will activate the yeast and also bind all of the ingredients together.

Let’s Bake Some Bread!

The longest part about this no-knead bread recipe is waiting for it to rise. But you can just set it and forget it! You don’t have to do anything to this bread in the meantime! It’s easy so go ahead and try it out!

Mix ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt and yeast. Add warm water and stir with a wooden spoon until combined. The dough will be sticky.
Cover and let it rise: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow to rise on your counter, at room temperature, for 12 – 18 hours.
Preheat the oven: Heat oven to 450 degrees F.
Shape dough and cover: Pour dough out onto floured counter, shape into a ball and place on a piece of parchment paper. Cover the dough lightly with plastic wrap.
Preheat pot: Place a cast iron pot, with the lid ON, into the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Bake the bread: Once the pot is hot, remove it from the oven. Remove the plastic wrap off of the dough ball and carefully lift the parchment paper with the dough ball on it, into the pot. Cover with lid and return pot to oven to bake for 30 minutes.
Bake again, uncovered and then cool: After 30 minutes, remove lid from pot and continue baking, uncovered for 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow bread to cool on a wire cooling rack.
Store it for later: Store bread in an open paper bag, to ensure the crust stays crispy.

Can You Freeze It?

Yes! You can freeze the no-knead bread dough. To freeze the bread dough, make the dough as instructed and let it rise. Once risen, form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and then place in a freezer-friendly container. Freeze it for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, allow the dough to come to room temperature for 2-3 hours on the counter, or thaw overnight in the refrigerator, and then bake as directed.

Variations

If you are looking for a loaf of bread that is SO easy to have plain or change up, then you have come to the right place! In fact, I’ve come up with a few ideas on how you can easily do that to this no-knead bread. Go ahead and try them out. It will be like you are trying a new bread every time you make it!

Cheese: Try adding in some cheese to this bread. Work in about 1 cup of your favorite cheese just after you put together the dough. Work it in and cook according to the rest of the directions! It will be delicious!
Seasonings: Add in a tablespoon of italian seasoning or minced garlic (or both!) to the bread dough and mix it in at the same time that you mix the other ingredients. You can even try roesemary for an especially delicious flavor!
Other mix ins: I love adding in ¾ cup of my favorits nuts or dried fruit (like craisins!) to the dough when I am mixing it up. It bakes up so delicious and then you have this amazing taste and texture that you have added to the bread!

What if I Don’t Have a Cast Iron Pot?

No worries! You can totally bake this no-knead bread on a regular baking sheet instead. Go ahead and follow these instructions on how to do this instead and then you will have delicious bread to eat! In fact, you will want to make this all the time!

Make dough: Make the dough and allow it to rise as directed. Shape it into a round or long loaf and place it on a greased baking sheet.
Preheat oven and add water to baking dish: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Add one cup of water to a shallow baking dish and set it on the lower rack of your oven. The steam created will help make a crispy crust on the bread.
Bake: Bake the bread on the middle oven rack for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden.

Stuffed Pepper Soup

Stuffed pepper soup is delicious, hearty, and full of flavor! Filled with so many different ingredients, it’s insanely good and will definitely fill your belly!

As the weather turns colder, I love a good warm bowl of soup! Try out some of my other favorites like Creamy Zucchini Soup, Chicken Noodle Soup, and this Creamy Chicken Gnocchi Soup. They are all so delicious!

Stuffed Pepper Soup

This recipe has all of the same flavors as a stuffed pepper but this time they are packed into a delicious soup! This version of this yummy recipe is perfect for this time of year because it’s warm and cozy and makes me excited for the colder weather that’s coming! This soup has a delicious flavor to it. After you add in the beef and garlic and Italian seasonings then you put in some peppers and it really makes a unique and delicious taste!

This rich and homestyle flavor added with rice and beef has the perfect texture. In fact, this meal is a great option for those nights when you are super busy and on the go! Since it has rice, meat and veggies then you don’t even need to make any sides to go with it! But, if you decided that you did want to make it a meal with a few sides then try adding in these rolls and this salad. Either way, you can’t go wrong!

What’s in Stuffed Pepper Soup?

Using classic ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen, this soup is SOO good. See the recipe card below for a list of exact ingredient measurements.

Olive oil: This is used to mix in with your vegetables as you cook them up and make them nice and soft!
Onion: I like to dice up my onion into small pieces.
Ground beef: I used lean ground beef in this recipe but you could use ground turkey instead!
Garlic cloves: Using fresh garlic cloves is what I did but if you don’t have any on hand then you can use minced garlic from your fridge. ½ tsp equals about 1 clove of garlic!
Red and green bell peppers: Depending on how much pepper you want in each bite, you could cute these up to be big or small.
Beef broth: I like to use this as the base of the soup instead of water so that it adds to the flavor!
Tomato sauce: I used one small can.
Diced tomatoes: Make sure that your diced tomatoes don’t have any extra flavoring to them and that they are just in tomato sauce.
Italian seasoning: You can use store bought italian seasoning. Or, if you really want to take this to the next level then take an extra 5 minutes to make this homemade Italian seasoning!
Salt and pepper: Use these to enhance all of the other flavors in the soup!
Rice: You will cook your rice before you put it in the soup in this recipe!

Let’s Make Some Soup!

This stuffed pepper soup only takes about 30 minutes from start to finish! It’s a simple and easy meal that gives a fantastic taste! It’s a win-win!

Cook onion and ground beef and set aside: In a large pot over medium high heat add olive oil and onion. Saute for 2-3 minutes or until almost tender. Add in the ground beef and cook and crumble until to longer pink. Drain grease and set aside on a plate.
Add in and cook peppers: Add the olive oil and peppers. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until almost tender.
Mix together meat and peppers, add other ingredients: Add the meat back into the peppers. Add in the beef broth, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
Add rice and simmer: Add in the rice and stir. Let simmer for about 3-4 minutes until heated throughout.

Variations

There are a few things that you can do to change up this stuffed pepper soup! It’s so delicious as is or you can change it up to make it your own!

Meat: If you prefer ground turkey then go ahead and use that instead! Cook it up and use it just as the recipe calls for with the ground beef!
Add some heat: If you want to make this dish spicy, go ahead and add in some red pepper flakes!
Thicker or thinner: Depending on the consistency that you want, add in more rice or take some away.

How to Store Leftovers

This stuffed pepper soup tastes great the next day but here is a helpful hint for you! The rice will get mushy in the soup in the fridge. So if you know that you are cooking enough to have leftovers for lunch or dinner the next day then here is what you should do!

Separate: Instead of putting all of the rice into the pot and mixing it together, I would add rice to each individual serving.
Store seperately: Store the soup and the rice each in their own separate airtight containers in the fridge. It will last 2-3 days in the fridge!
Mix together and reheat: When you go to eat your leftovers, add the rice into your bowl of soup. Reheat it on the stove or in the microwave until heated through
