We love this recipe for Bannoch Bread. No Yeast = no wait time…yes!

Yeast-less Bread Recipe:

When yeast is hard to come by and you want to make bread, this bread is the answer. So easy, and you can make it without the wait of bread rising.

Do you love making homemade bread, but hate to have to wait for it to rise… and the steps that come with making bread with yeast in it? I think you’re going to love this recipe for Bannoch bread. It’s so easy…and so delicious! My family loves it. I guess you could compare it to an Irish soda bread, but you’ll have to try it for yourself. I’d make it everyday with a big smear of soft butter on it, if it wasn’t for carbs… dang carbs…why do I love you so!

What you need to make this yeast-less bread recipe:

2 1/4 cup white flour
1/4 cup flax seed meal
1/2 cup graham flour
1 1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt

How to make Bannoch Bread:

Preheat oven to 350.
Into a large bowl sift together: flours, baking soda, baking powder, sugar and salt. Sift the mixture two more times.
Add buttermilk and sour cream and mix well.
Form dough into a ball and transfer to a slightly floured surface. The dough will be sticky.
Roll dough into a 12 x 7 x 1 inch oval. Score the top carefully and transfer to a un-greased baking sheet. Bake on a parchment sheet for easy cleanup.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until loaf is brown.
Serve warm. Makes one loaf.

Baking Subtitutions:

Don’t have buttermilk? For 1 cup buttermilk, try: 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice plus enough milk to measure 1 cup. Stir, then let stand for 5 minutes. You can also use 1 cup of plain yogurt or 2 teaspoons cream of tartar plus 1 cup milk. Or equal parts sour cream + milk to equal one cup.
Don’t have Flax Seed Meal? Substitute the Flax Seed Meal with chia seeds. If you have a coffee grinder or spice grinder, you can grind them at home, or add them in as is.
Don’t have graham flour? Substitute the graham flour with whole wheat flour.

You’ll want to have a clean surface on your countertop ready with a good sprinkle of flour to roll this sticky dough on before baking.

You’ll basically shape the dough into a big oval. Make some decorative diagonal cuts on the top with a sharp knife before baking.

Here it is right out of the oven. Isn’t it pretty?! Like a big rustic loaf of bread.

Soups to serve with homemade bread:

This bread goes great with so many different soups, and we’ve got so many good soup recipes. The question is which one will you choose?

This bread was made for honey butter. I never have soft butter out at my house, it’s usually ice cold in the fridge, but on this day we did, and it was heavenly on this bread.

Bannoch Bread

This no yeast bread is comparable to Irish Soda Bread. We love how deliciously easy it comes together.
