I decided to try out these No-Knead Crispy Whole Wheat Bread Rolls, as I have been baking the 4 Ingredient Artisan Bread for the past 2 years.
As Rafiki (Lion King) said: Change is good. Without it, life can get a little mundane. So try something new!
Verily, as I love to experiment and as I have been baking the 4 Ingredient Artisan Bread for close to 2 years, at least 2 to 3 times per week, I thought it was time to try something different.
This one appealed to me as it’s no-knead, and although I do not mind doing it, I just prefer a no-knead version, so when I saw the following, I just had to try it. As I always do, I immediately changed the ingredients to suit my personal tastebuds and to our liking.
History of Bread
The Bread was central to the formation of early human societies.

What’s the Difference Between Active Dry Yeast and Instant
Yeast when baking bread?
Active dry yeast needs to be dissolved in water before use, while instant yeast can be mixed right into dry ingredients. Please read the full article here if you’re interested to find out why sometimes a recipe will call for active dry vs instant yeast.

Description
One funny thing about this recipe is that all the ingredients need to be weighed with a scale. OK, it’s strange, but that part I did just to test out the recipe, but promise that the next time I make it, I will convert the water, salt, and oil to ml, but for now just follow it as I made it.
Ingredients
- 1200 g of whole wheat bread flour
- 700 g of water (I used 350 g of regular tap water, and 350 g of boiling water) mixed in a large mixing bowl.
- 30 g of fine table salt (Personal note: next time I will use a little less salt)
- 50 g of oil. I prefer to bake with Olive Oil, but you can use regular oil if you prefer.
- 24 g (2 x 12 gr packets) of instant dried yeast
Instructions
- Carefully weigh out all your ingredients. (Next time I will measure it out in ml)
- Mix the flour and the salt in a large bowl.
- In a separate container mix the water (tap and boiling water) and add the yeast, then dissolve it in the water and lastly add the oil and mix it through.
- Pour the liquid mixture over the dried ingredients and mix everything to form a soft dough.
- I started off by only using a large wooden spoon, but you may wish to use your hands to get all the dry ingredients incorporated and mixed through. As mentioned, I did not knead the bread, it’s just easier to mix it by hand, especially 1.2kg of flour.
- Cover the bowl with cling wrap and place a tea towel over it and let rise for a minimum of 2 hours.
- If your kitchen is cold, you can place it outside in a sunny spot. I left it outside for one hour and then brought it back in and left it on the countertop for the remainder of the time.
- While the dough is proofing, prepare 2 baking trays and cover them with parchment paper, and set it aside.
- After the proofing period, remove the dough and divide the dough into 16 equal portions. If you’re very particular, (which I am not) feel free to weigh the entire ball of dough and divide it by 16, to work out the weight in grams of
each ball of dough. I am not that fussy, so I just eyeballed it and roughly divided it into 16 balls. - Form the balls and place them on the parchment paper and cut the top of the dough with a sharp knife. You can do three horizontal lines or an X.
- Once done, I placed the baking trays on top of the stove, while I heated the oven to 180C / 350F.
- This helped the balls of dough to double in size, and it took roughly 30 minutes.
- Dust the top of the dough with regular white flour, or if you wish, you can add some sesame seeds or any other you prefer, to the top of the dough, but it’s totally optional. I played around with it as it’s the first time I tried and adapted
this recipe. - Once ready bake the bread rolls until golden brown or baked through. I baked it for 30 minutes.
- Next time, I will prepare some egg wash (another part of my experiment) and paint the tops of the bread rolls and then sprinkle the seeds over as it will be easier to stick to the bread rolls.
- I will for sure bake these bread rolls again. It’s a winner and my husband also
approved of it.
