Are you looking for a delicious loaf of bread without yeast? I have a no-yeast bread recipe that makes a soft yet satisfyingly dense loaf – it’s perfect for when you want a loaf without waiting around for the yeast to rise. You’ll be amazed at how straightforward and reliable this recipe is. Plus, it’s ready in just an hour, using just five staple ingredients! Let me show you how it’s done.

I’ve been making variations of this bread recipe for years. You might remember my whole wheat Irish soda bread from way back — this recipe is based on that one. It’s incredibly easy to make and welcomes different add-ins, so it never gets boring. This cheese and herb version just happens to be my favorite.
What I love about this no-yeast bread is how much flavor you get with so little effort. The golden crust is flecked with crispy, baked-on cheese, and inside you’ll find a dense yet soft crumb that’s begging for a swipe of butter. With just five pantry-staple ingredients and about an hour of mostly hands-off time, you can pull this beauty from the oven and feel very proud of yourself.

What to serve with this easy no yeast bread
This bread is great sliced thick and used for hearty open-faced sandwiches. But I love it best with soups, stews, and chilis. Here are a few of my favorite dunk worthy recipes:
- Italian Sausage Soup
- Carrot Soup with Coconut and Ginger
- Easy Turkey Chili
- BBQ Crockpot Chicken Chili
- Instant Pot Beef Stew

Easy Bread Recipe (No Yeast)
- Pin

Ingredients
- ▢ 4 cups all-purpose flour
- ▢ 2 teaspoons baking soda
- ▢ 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ▢ 2 cups buttermilk (see notes)
- ▢ ¼ cup melted butter
Herb and Cheddar
- ▢ 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- ▢ 1 ½ tablespoons Italian seasoning (or favorite dried herbs)
Olive and Feta
- ▢ ½ cup chopped black olives
- ▢ 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- ▢ 2 teaspoons rosemary
Oat and Honey
- ▢ ½ cup oats (save a few to sprinkle on top)
- ▢ ¼ cup honey
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. (Use a bowl that is bigger than what you see in the video!) 4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon sea salt
- Pour the buttermilk and butter into the bowl and mix with a wooden spoon. 2 cups buttermilk, ¼ cup melted butter
- Add the cheddar cheese and Italian seasoning and mix until they are incorporated. (You can skip this step for a plain version or add either the olive and feta or oat and honey variations.) 1 cup grated cheddar cheese, 1 ½ tablespoons Italian seasoning
- Dump the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper and shape it into a ball with your hands. Using the parchment paper, lift the dough and place it into a pot. Score the top with a knife (this is so that the bread cooks properly), and put the lid onto the pot.
- Bake the bread for 45-55 minutes. When it’s cooked, the crust will be golden brown, and the bread will sound hollow when you knock on the top. Lift the bread out of the pot using the parchment paper, then wait 30 minutes before slicing it.
