Description
This Whole-Wheat Bread (No-Knead) is so easy, you just mix everything, pop it in a pan, bake it, and you’re done. Fresh, warm bread with zero fuss.
Ingredients
- 4 cups whole-wheat flour
- 1 cup of cake flour
- 1 tsp salt

- 2 tsp vinegar
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 tsp baking soda
Instructions

- Grease a loaf pan.
- Mix everything in a big bowl, starting from the top of the ingredient list and working your way down. A wooden spoon works best.

- Slice it thick, add some butter, and enjoy it with a hot cup of coffee.
A Quick Tip:
This version uses buttermilk, which makes the bread softer and adds a nice tang. If you don’t have buttermilk, use regular milk with 1 tbsp vinegar instead. That’s how the original recipe was made, but swapping in buttermilk really makes it better.
Bakers Note
The original recipe only called for regular milk, although I substituted it with buttermilk, and then added 125ml regular milk (as it seemed a bit dry). Due to using buttermilk, I only used 10 ml of vinegar instead of the 25ml as per the original recipe.
– Regular milk + vinegar is usually used together instead of buttermilk.
