Alright, let’s hop right into the good stuff ��� the recipe!

Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 3 cups all-purpose flour


• 1/2 cup old fashioned oats


• 1 1/4 teaspoons salt


• 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast


• 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water


• 1/4 cup honey

• Equipment: 5-6 Quart Dutch Oven

The all-purpose flour serves as the base for our bread while the yeast helps it rise. The old fashioned oats add a hearty texture and the honey, oh the honey my friends, gives it a naturally sweet flavor. If by the off chance, you don’t have honey, you could substitute with maple syrup or sugar.

How To Make No Knead Honey Oat Bread

1. First, combine the flour, oats, salt, yeast, water, and honey in a large mixing bowl. Mix everything until you get a sticky based dough. Don’t stress if it’s shaggy or lumpy. It’s supposed to be that way.


2. Cover the dough with plastic and let it rise. This will take about 2-3 hours. You’re looking for it to double in size and show those beautiful bubbles on top.


3. Dust the surface with flour and plop your dough on it. Fold it a couple of times, then cover with a towel and let rest.


4. Preheat the oven and your Dutch oven. Once it’s hot enough, carefully put your dough into the Dutch oven, cover it, and bake. After about 30 minutes, remove the lid and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until your bread is golden brown.


5. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool before you dive in.

Tips For The Best Results

• Use warm water to speed up the yeast activation.


• Be patient and let the dough rise properly.


• Don’t forget to preheat the Dutch oven to achieve a good crust.

Storage Tips

• Store the bread in a bread-box or a plastic bag for up to a week.


• Can also freeze it for up to 3 months.
