No-Knead Multigrain Whole Wheat Bread… super easy… no machines (updated) 

Yes, Thank you for NOT using music and Thank you for this simple, but healthy, recipe

The recipe (for those who would like a quick summary): 1. In large bowl, mix: • 16 oz (i.e. 475 mL) cool tap water • 1.5 tsp salt (use less if you are salt-conscious) • 1/4 tsp instant yeast • 1 tbsp sesame seeds • 1 tbsp flax seeds (ground flax may be healthier) • 1 tbsp EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) • 3.5 cups whole wheat flour (or 2 cups bread flour + 1.5 cups whole wheat flour) • ½ cup oats 2. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, then let it sit (i.e. proof) 8-24 hours at room temp (e.g. overnight) 3. Oil/grease bottom pan 4. Mix dough a little (to de-gas/pull/stretch the dough, but whatever you do, don’t call it kneading!), making sure to scrape the sides/bottom. 5. Sprinkle oats on top of sticky dough, roll dough ball around so that oats mostly coat the surface. 6. Transfer to bottom loaf pan, cover it with same-size top loaf pan and use two metal binder clips at each end to secure the top and bottom pans together 7. Let dough sit (proof) in pans for another 30-60 minutes 8. Preheat oven to 400F, move top rack to lower third of oven 9. Bake for 40 mins at 400F with top on, then another 3-15 minutes with top off to brown the crust

Nice, straightforward presentation. Thank you for not telling us the story of your life before getting down to what we really came here for - how you make bread!

Hey Steve, I live in Nicaragua and I had never made bread before. I made this bread yesterday and baked it today. It's fantastic! I didn't think it would turn out because of the extreme heat and humidity here, not to mention I made the dough in the middle of a rainstorm. My bread is beautiful and delicious. You are my hero!

attention RU-vid viewers...this man taught me HOW to make bread at home from scratch ! Thank-you, Steve ! You make it look so easy, it seems almost impossible, but it isn't.

Hi Steve, my friend and I were looking for whole-wheat bread without sugar and I came across your video. I baked for the first time a few months ago and since then we ended up baking this bread twice a week and not buying bread at all. I wanted to say thank you because you made it so easy for someone like me who failed baking many times before. Thank you for the healthy, easy and tasty recipe.👌

THANK YOU!! For NOT having horrible distracting music & explaining every step. VERY NICE 👍

We’ve been following and using your bread recipes for a number of years now. Whenever someone sees our stories/photos on our social media accounts and they asks us for the recipe, we automatically send them to your channel!! THANK-YOU STEVE FOR MAKING IT SO EASY TO FOLLOW ALONG! And our favourite line from you: “It’s very forgiving” 🤗🤗

Hey, I’m new to the bread game and I would like to thank Steve. Three loaves in over the past 2 weeks and I’m an expert it seems. You would think I had baked hundreds of loaves thanks to Steve’s easy to follow videos. So much bread to bake and so little time.

"You can use any recipe with any baking method." I love that. I have watched so many of these videos in the past few days, I find myself trying to remember which recipe goes with which method. How empowering to know that I can make that choice for myself. It is also helpful for those who don't have all the pans featured in the videos. You can still do it!

Hello Steve, for the first time in my life I baked a loaf of bread. Your instructions are superb, no fuss, no mess, easy to follow. I'll always remember how easy you make the process. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Peace and Blessings!

By far easiest and best bread recipes on the web. You’re appreciated. Thank you

Hello Steve. About 3? years ago I wanted to start making bread and I watched a ton of videos yours included. It was YOU that gave me the courage to make my first loaf. Now I make all kinds of bread no knead and kneaded. I spend all day sometimes on cold New England days baking bread it just brings me GREAT Joy. I truly have you to thank for this. I have not made bread in a couple months now and I have the itch so I popped in for a refresher but to also take the time to Truly Thank You whole heartedly for starting me on my baking journey. God Bless you for being the teacher that inspired his student.

i always get happy when i see the older generations on youtube. just teaching us how to bake a nice, healthy bread. so impressed by the Dutch Oven.

2021-03-21 💗 🍞🥖Steve Gamelin taught me to bake my own bread. I have been making them for almost three years, I mix with dried garlic powder, all kinds of dried herbs, curry, nuts, seeds etc. but also, cinnamon, honey or with extra sugar then you get sugar bread :-) No one makes bread so fast, simpel and much easier as 'Steve from no knead bread'. I thank you a lot Steve😃 Much loaf love from the Netherland

This works well. I have searched the web for recipes ru-vid.comUgkxEf52Yn9PpTLKua_uvi5Ams4pIDINER52 There are a few in the pamphlet, but I am ready to explore. NOTE: Once you hit start, don’t mess with it or the dough will not rise. Learned that the hard way.

I must say this video deserves so much love and appreciation 😭❤️

I love this simple and straight forward no nonsense clean cut demonstration, thank you Sir.

Who could dislike this? Steve does such a great job at explaining everything, doesn't put music over his talking. Great video Steve. Keep it up

Loved this video as it appeals to my sense of order. No added inane commentary, just straight to the point and well explained. Top job.

I have never made bread from scratch, I was too intimidated. Until now. Thank you so much, I did it. Your video was so easy to follow and the trick with the second loaf pan worked perfectly. It turned out beautifully.

Steve, I made this bread last night, baked this morning. My loaf looks exactly like yours and tastes great!!! I didn't have pans to make a PMDO, so I just placed a shallow pan of water (about 1") at the bottom rack to create steam for the first 40 minutes, then removed the water for the last 10 - 15 minutes. I think that worked well.

I agree, thank you for not playing music. I'm going to make your bread. I enjoyed your video.

Thank youSteve, just when i decided to give up on making any sort of bread you video popped out and what to say, in two days i have been making two different breads. Finally my family call it The bread, it looks like bread, it taste like a bread. So simple and so effective, thank you again….bring us more recipes with more seeds if possible, please?

Thank you. I haven’t bought bread since I have been watching your videos. Greetings from South Australia 🇦🇺

Thank you. I love the simplicity of your baking. It’s wonderful to not feel pressured to buy 1 million gadgets to create a loaf. I look forward to purchasing your cookbooks.

Definitely one of the best bread recipe videos I’ve seeing. Love that you don’t have annoying music on the background. 💕

You are such a likable guy and you make instructions very simple. Thanks.

* Oh I bought - BREAD FLOUR - for the 1st Time a month ago and LOVE it !! Also the POOR Man's DUTCH OVEN is a Game Changer!! I can do this!! I will one day get a DUTCH OVEN again as I'm Starting Over as they say and now use the Two Loaf Pans and Binder Clips and IT WORKS !!! 😁🍞🍞💗👍👍👍👍

Hello Steve. I've been making Dutch Oven bread for over ten years and just discovered your site last week. You are a natural teacher and I've learned a lot from your videos. Thank you so much - bread making is a balm for the soul in the difficult times we are living through and your videos are a lot healthier to follow than the news - and a lot tastier too! Thanks, Richard

Hello Steve, I watch all you videos and when advertisement video popped up, I just let it play start to finish. That is my way of saying thank you for giving us no nonsense, informative skills and for the sake of learning. I wish you all well in the world. Be safe and stay healthy. 💜☺️

Thank you for providing more knowledge on the "No-Knead Multigrain Whole Wheat Bread"-recipe for flat bread" that was obtained and could have been effortlessly and was created and can easily remember how I am a newbie.

I stumbled on you about a month ago because I love bread, but I don’t have the counter to knead and roll out. Very limited space. You have really helped and I want to formally thank you. In this time of crisis, I may only have 3 rolls of toilet paper but I have about 50lbs of flour (bread/all purpose) to make my own breads. You have given me the confidence I need. Without my bread maker. Thank you!!!!

Cant wait to try this! Thank you for NOT using music. I find music too distracting.

After watching lots of bread making yours is the easiest most natural thanks steve

I first started watching your videos during Covid. Still love watching them

Thank you! In future videos ~ would love to see the slice of the bread and crumb ☺️. Also, recipe in notes would be great 👍🏻

I love the clear and to-the-point instructions. Just mixed up my first batch, letting it proof on the counter so I can bake it this evening. Thanks for the great videos!

Ok this was legit one of the very few considerate RU-vid videos I’ve seen, considerate of my time and patience. I love old school people, he’s also so grandpa cute 😭

How wonderful!! I'll be making this for my pregnancy cravings!! Thank you so very very much for taking the time to make this video!!

What a great recipe! I just made bread for the first time in quarantine!! So delicious. I halved all ingredients to test it out and made a small loaf. came out exquisite!

This is my go to recipe, I dont buy sandwich bread anymore. I always saw bread-making as a long, messy process but Steve you truly revolutionized this view! Thank you for your amazing, clear videos. I recommend you to my friends and family.

Just found your site a couple of days ago and I'm so glad I did. Love your easy instructions. I've been making no-knead bread in a traditional dutch oven and wanted to make a sandwich style loaf. Your idea of PMDO is brilliant, so I went out and bought 2 pans. Made this bread today and it is now our favorite!! THANK YOU!!!!

The poor man's dutch oven is such a clever trick!! You have no idea how much you just helped a broke uni student 😅

Thank you, Steve! Your easy-to-follow instructions have helped me bring homemade, fresh-baked bread to my family on a regular basis. God bless!

Greetings from central Ohio. Thanks Steve for your videos. I have your cookbook, but it never hurts to watch the technique used by “the breadman”! Thanks again!

I FINALLY DID IT! I did the Raisin Bread first, but this is the one I want to be able to go back to FOREVER. And now I CAN. THANK YOU STEVE !

Stumbling across your channel has saved my sanity during this "adventure." Thanks for sharing your tips, tricks, talents, and delicious recipes.

This was really fun to watch. Enjoyed the no nonsense instructions with no background music or noise, as well as your soft spoken voice. Really pleasant video without all the overly done chatter, as other videos have. Step by step easy to follow instructions. Thank you!! Can't wait to try this. I just subscribed and looking forward to watching more videos from you, sir.

Love your simplicity for making bread. Great information.

I made this bread today. It is DELICIOUS. Thank you SO much!

Thank you Steve for helping me to make my first bread. You are a great inspiration with your calm and easy guidelines.

You are so organized! I love that and I love the “ no music” as well. Just bought a couple of your books from Amazon

Thanks Steve! You made me a home baker! I've baked bread weekly per your recipes for 18+ months. 👍

After watching your videos, some many times, I finally ordered your cookbook. Your direct teaching method is very helpful !

Your video was the 1st i watched on RU-vid years ago before it was popular. I always come back to your channel for the real deal instructions. Thank you

You are such a practical baker Steve! And I really enjoy your videos 😊 Today I am taking some sourdough starter that is obstinately refusing to rise and I'm incorporating into this recipe. The starter is 50/50 flour and water, with about 1/3 of the flour being rye. So it should make a nice loaf!

I'm convinced that purple spatula is magic. It's like a magic wand that makes beautifully fresh bread for all the realm! Thanks for this great video. (I recently binge-watched nearly all of your videos this past week.)

Thank you Steve! I've never made homemade bread from scratch. I've followed a few recipes from others and they've been good! But by far, your bread is the best! You're a blessing!

I am pretty sure i just binged watched you whole RU-vid channel. You are very informational and direct. Your channel is amazing.

I absolutely loved the spoon handle tip! I can't wait to try making this with my nephews this week. Thank you for sharing!

It is so clear that this Mr. Steve is one of the best presenters of bread-baking. He is down-to-earth, clear and, recognizes that many of his audience may be intimidated by the thought of baking bread and also don't necessarily have sophisticated tools. So thank you for making bread baking accessible. I have just one (I hope) tiny request. If you are still making new videos, would you consider covering your bowl with something other than single-use plastic? Tea towel, pot covers, re-usable plastic or silicone? I know I don't have to explain why and I thank you if you will consider this request.

Sir, I can't thank you enough. The bread turned out so perfect and so tasty, I couldn't believe my eyes!!!! You are a fabulous teacher with a real flair. Really appreciate your kindness.

Steve you are the Bob Ross of bread! I love your books. I bake beautiful bread now because of you!! Thank you!!!!

Thank you so much for the super easy and great tasting no-knead bread recipes! I love to cook and I do all kinds of cooking for my family but I've always been intimidated by bread making, particularly using yeast, proofing and kneading. I was gifted a bread machine a few years ago and used it a couple of times but never thought the bread tasted that great nor did I like the weird shape it created. During the COVID-19 lockdown, like everyone else, I became interested in bread making. After searching long and hard to secure bread flour and yeast that were out of stock everywhere, it was finally time to make bread! I came across this video and was impressed by how easy it seemed so I gave it a try. Wow! The best bread ever, especially considering what little effort I put into making it! The poor man's dutch oven is a brilliant idea! I've made the multigrain whole wheat bread several times now as well as the cinnamon raisin bread and they are both great and come out perfect every time! My family loves them! This is easy enough that I can incorporate into my routine and continue to bake fresh bread a couple times a week. I can't wait to try your cinnamon rolls recipe! Again, thank you so much for sharing these wonderful recipes!

Thank you for this, Steve! This is very helpful most especially during the quarantine times! ❤️

Wonderful! No expensive mixer, and no baker's math. Thank you for making this so easy to understand.

Thank you for explaining flours and other techniques. Thank you for making bread so easy to make. Your videos are easy to follow.

Thanks for this recipe. With the way things are going these days, this is one of the way to not run out of food. Atleast we can eat nutritious bread to keep is filled, if we can't afford most other food items.

I think I could do this! I have tried making bread and didn't go so well. But you have helped a lot! Thank you.

just baked this up this morning and it is absolutely delicious! I am new to bread making and this was my first whole wheat loaf, the poor man's dutch oven worked perfectly and I got a beautiful crust! Thanks so much for your lovely, simple, informative videos, Steve!

Hello, thank you for sharing your bread making techniques. I have always wanted to learn how to make bread but could never do it right. Your explanations and all the comments are encouraging and I want to try again. Thank you for coming up with the PMDO!

Found a work around for the PMDO when Steve’s method didn’t work for me (clips kept popping off). I used heavy duty aluminum foil and tented the loaf pan by completely surrounding the pan. It worked out fine. The bread was delicious

I just had to let you know that I tried this today and just love it!! I baked it as a free form boule and though not for sandwiches, delicious nonetheless! My husband even likes it and he’s a “white bread” die hard. Thank you!!

Best bread making with simple explanation and easy to follow. Please keep posting & love what you do.

Thank you Steve. I learnt to make bread from you 3 years ago, and never looked back. It’s our favorite in the house. Thankyou again

I need to learn how to bake my own bread. I love how simple your technique is for beginners . The empty store shelves due to the corona virus had me worried i wouldn't find bread for my family. Thank you Steve for sharing your video you are helping many people be self reliant. Blessings to you and your family.

This looks really good, Steve. I look forward to trying it.

im so glad to know that you are still in youtube! ❤️❤️❤️ take care especially at this time of pandemic.

Hi Steve, thanks for showing me this. I've just retired and have all day now to putz around in my kitchen and baking fresh bread is top on my list. I appreciate your video, thank you!

Thank you so much for this very easy recipe, Steve. I just tasted it fresh from the oven and it's wonderful! Even my husband (a Frenchman) was impressed! The only change I made was to add some poppy, chia, and sunflower seeds along with the the flax and sesame. I'll be making this a lot and I'll be buying your recipe book.

Great video! That'll be my next bake. Thanks for sharing.

I appreciate when you tell us 'why' you do something. i.e. dusting with flour in order to handle easier. When instructions are given with a 'why' explanation it certainly makes it easier to remember.

I have been following you for awhile now and I must say ALL YOUR RECIPES are excellent. Easy to follow. No hooplah. Thank you.

Love your videos Steve!! Keep up the great work! 👍🏼

I tried this recipe and it was amazing! Only difference- I slightly ground the flax. Otherwise flax just goes out of the body as it comes in. I baked it in a regular bread pan (no cover) and it came out perfect and delicious. 😄

LOVE the simplicity, have shared it with many family members and friends. Thank you

This is excellent bread. I have used his other bread recipes too and they are easy and very good!! Family loves this bread!!

Love this recipe. Will try it soon. I love seeing the crumb of breads. In future videos could you cut a slice so we may see the crumb? Thank you. And love your videos and recipes!!!

Thank you so much. Your recipes are big hits in my home, especially since my kids can do them also!

Pure substance... No unnecessary explanations... Simple and effective...

Love your recipes. I am in my 60s and have made bread in the past but you really make it uncomplicated. I mad your Sesame artesian bread yesterday In my cast iron Dutch oven, and it turned out fabulous. Thank you!

Hi Steve, I’m baking my way through your library of recipes. It’s the perfect task for the extra time on our hands at home right now. Very grateful for you and your channel!

That looked super easy. I'm encouraged to break out into whole wheat breads

Hi there Steve. I’ve just finished my first multigrain loaf. I can read believe how easy it was and so delicious. Thank you so much for your amazing tutorial. So relaxing and informative. Not sure what’s next but I’m definitely sold on making my own bread from now on. Take care and keep safe .

I tried your recipe and it came out perfect, thank you for making it so easy without all the nonsense that others put in their you tube videos

You use so little yeast! I am surprised it rises so well. THANK YOU for your art. :-)

Thank you for this! My boys loved the homemade bread as comforting foods are welcome as we are self-isolating. A warm moment in a tough time. My youngest said I should become a baker:)

Tried it out and was very pleased with the result :) I had to bake it longer but it turned out great! Thank you for the recipe and straight forward video Steve

This is THE manliest baking video. Something made me want to make my own bread, and I have been looking for ingredients to use and instructional videos to guide me. Here I am stumbling upon this super detailed video. I'm gonna give it a shot.
