Seeded No-Knead Jar Bread

A super easy, crusty, bakery-style bread made without kneading. Just mix, wait, and bake!

 Ingredients

For the dough:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour (or bread flour)
• 1½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp instant yeast
• 1¼ to 1½ cups warm water

 Seeds (mix as you like):

• 2 tbsp sunflower seeds
• 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds
• 1 tbsp flax seeds

 Instructions (No Kneading Required)

1) Mix everything

• In a large jar or bowl, add flour, salt, yeast, and seeds
• Pour in warm water gradually
• Stir with a spoon until you get a sticky dough (don’t knead)

2) First rise (fermentation)

• Cover the jar loosely with plastic wrap or a lid
• Leave at room temperature for 8–18 hours
• The dough should double in size and become bubbly

3) Shape the dough

• Lightly flour your surface
• Gently remove the dough (don’t over-handle it)
• Shape into a round loaf
• Add extra seeds on top if you like

4) Second rise

• Let it rest for 30–60 minutes
• It will puff up slightly

5) Bake

• Preheat oven to 230°C (450°F)
• Bake in a Dutch oven or covered baking dish

Baking time:

• 30 minutes covered
• 15–20 minutes uncovered until golden brown

 Result:

• Crispy crust on the outside
• Soft, airy, hole-filled inside
• Rich nutty flavor from the seeds

 Tips:

• If dough is too dry → add a little water
• If too sticky → add a bit of flour
• Do NOT knead the dough
• Longer fermentation (up to 18 hours) = better flavor
