Simple Bread Made From Batter With No Kneading
If you like the aroma and flavour of fresh baked bread but you think all that kneading is just too hard then these Batter Bread Recipes are perfect for you. You can use a mixer or even stir the batter by hand using a wooden spoon. No other working or folding of the dough is required.
Of course if you don't mind kneading, you can even add a little more flour to produce a more traditional dough which can be molded into other forms such as bread rolls or sticks.
White Batter Bread
Simply the fastest way to make white bread
Ingredients
4 1/2 Cups White Bread Making Flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 sachet dry yeast
1 teaspoon bread improver (optional but will improve cell structure if used)
1 tablespoon oil or softened unsalted butter
2 cups warm water
Method
Add the water sugar and yeast to a small bowl and stir until dissolved.
Place half the flour in a large bowl and add the remaining dry ingredients. Dry mix to ensure an even distribution.
Add the yeast mixture and oil to the flour and mix well for 3 minutes. If hand mixing mix for 5 minutes.
Add the remaining flour and mix for another 3 minutes (5 mins if by hand). The mix should have the consistancy of a thick batter.
Cover the bowl with plastic and put in a warm place until the batter has doubled in size, approximately 30-60 minutes.
Knock the mix down by stirring with a spoon and then pour into a large well greased baking tin.
Cover the tin with plastic and place in a warm place until the batter has again doubled in size.
While the batter is rising pre-heat the oven to 220 C or 425 F
Once the batter has doubled, place it in the centre of the hot oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. When baked the loaf will sound hollow when knocked.
Turn the loaf out onto a wire rack and allow to cool.

Wholemeal Batter Bread
Prefer a little more fibre in your diet?
Ingredients
4 1/2 Cups Whole Wheat Bread Flour
2 1/2 teaspoons salt (slight increase from the previous recipe to improve flavour)
1 teaspoon brown sugar (adds colour to the bread, use white if you prefer)
1 sachet dry yeast
1 teaspoon bread improver (optional but will improve cell structure if used)
1 tablespoon oil or softened unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups warm water
Method
Add the water sugar and yeast to a small bowl and stir until dissolved.

Add the yeast mixture and oil to the flour and mix well for 3 minutes. If hand mixing mix for 5 minutes.
Add the remaining flour and mix for another 3 minutes (5 mins if by hand). The mix should have the consistancy of a thick batter. Due to the increased absorbancy of the wholemeal flour, more water may be required.
Cover the bowl with plastic and put in a warm place until the batter has doubled in size, approximately 30-60 minutes.
Knock the mix down by stirring with a spoon and then pour into a large well greased baking tin.
Cover the tin with plastic and place in a warm place until the batter has again doubled in size.
