Simple No-Knead Sandwich Bread: Easy, Egg-Free, and Butter-Free

Activate the Yeast: In a bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently to mix, then let it sit for 5-10 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the mixture becomes foamy.

Mix the Dough: Once the yeast mixture is ready, add the flour and salt to the bowl. Stir with a spoon or spatula until combined. Don’t worry about over-mixing; the dough will be sticky, which is completely normal!

Let It Rise: Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Set it aside in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.

Shape and Second Rise: After the dough has risen, transfer it to a greased loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula to level it out. Let the dough rise for an additional 30 minutes, allowing it to puff up slightly.

Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Cool and Slice: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice it up and enjoy!
