No-Knead Easy Sourdough Bread Recipe

If you’re like me, then kneading bread for 15 minutes qualifies as a full-body workout.

I’m basically jumping up and down, punching, squishing, and folding (and taking water breaks). I’m out of breath with two tired forearms by the end.

Might as well be doing jumping jacks while shadow-boxing.

Well world, I’ve done you a favor. You no longer have to knead your sourdough bread. In fact, this sourdough is probably the most easy sourdough bread recipe to have in your repertoire. Sure it takes some time, but it’s standby time where you can be productive elsewhere (like watching Bones on Netflix).

When I discovered this technique, I mentally threw away my regular sourdough recipe. Who kneads the aggravation anyway? (sorry, couldn’t resist the pun)

Anyway, we love sourdough at the ERSS household because it’s delicious, easy, and a great probiotic. We’ve put together a massive post on the benefits of sourdough plus how to feed and store it.

Basically, by letting your dough sit overnight, the live sourdough culture gets a chance to work its way into the flour, breaking down and neutralizing the nasty anti-nutrients and gluten. Sourdough promotes an active and happy gut (ESSENTIAL to great health) and this bread doesn’t contain any gross preservatives or chemicals.

And, it’s dirt cheap.

When people ask us how we afford real food eating, we tell them it’s about tradeoffs. Sure, we spend $6 on ground beef, but a loaf of bread costs us like $.25. That averages out to what a normal person spends on regular meat and bread, except we’ve got the healthified versions.

I only have one favor to ask when you make this bread:

As soon as you can pop it out of the bread pan, cut yourself a slice, slather some butter on there, and devour. There’s seriously nothing as good as straight-outta-the-oven sourdough bread. It’s great the next day, but it’s like candy in the first 10 minutes of life.

No-Knead Easy Sourdough Bread Recipe

Ingredients

4 1/2 Cups whole wheat flour
4 1/2 Cups white flour (remember, the sourdough will break down the nasties)
1 1/2 Tablespoons unrefined salt
4 1/2 Cups warm water
3/4 Cups sourdough starter

Instructions

Whisk flour and salt in large bowl.
Add the sourdough starter to warm water.
Add liquid to flour mixture and stir/fold until it forms a shaggy ball.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and leave 12 to 18 hours.
Grease 2 bread pans (we spread butter all over with a spatula).
Separate dough into two evenly sized portions and form into logs. Put them into the loaf pans and let rise at room temperature until doubled in size (1-2 hours).
Preheat oven to 475 degrees and cook bread for 30 minutes.
Let cool and remove from bread pans. Eat at least one piece while still warm - it's mandatory.

How to Treat 45 Common Ailments with All-Natural Remedies

This week was the first week we had snow and I’m not very excited. We’re not big snow lovers in the Smith household. We enjoy being warm and dry. If I can sit on the couch, drink a big cup of hot chocolate (this recipe is da bomb!), cuddle up with a blanket, read a good book, then I’m fine with the snow.

Along with the cold and wet weather usually comes sickness. Unfortunately a lot of people also go straight to their MD who dutifully prescribes some sort of antibiotic. Antibiotics are certainly necessary for some things, but for the most part they should be saved until a last resort to save your gut health.

My Pinterest feed nowadays is popping up with all sorts of natural home remedies. Everything from the flu to wrinkles. I thought that I would take the most popular natural remedies from my fellow bloggers and compile them into a massive list. I even put them in alphabetical order so you can find the one you’re looking for easier.

You’re welcome.

1. Acid Reflux – 37 Natural Home Remedies to Get Rid of Acid Reflux via Feminiya

I never had acid reflux until I was in my third trimester. Let me tell ya… it’s TERRIBLE! You’re laying in bed then all of a sudden your bolted awake with your entire chest en fuego (aka on fire)! I had many nights trying to sleep sitting up straight. Shoulda tried some of these!

2. Acne – 22 Home Remedies for Acne & Pesky Pimples via Every Day Roots

3. Anxiety – Natural Remedies For Anxiety via Natural HQ

I know some people who suffer from anxiety and it can be debilitating. Unfortunately, these people are often put on drugs they’re supposed to take the rest of their lives – which is super depressing. I’ve read lots of information about how anxiety starts with your gut health, which is very interesting.

4. Arthritis – Powerful Home Remedy for Arthritis via Life Saving Natural Cures and Natural Remedies

I dislocated my knee about 7 years ago and it definitely has some arthritis going on. My knee creaks, hurts, pops, and everything else a joint isn’t supposed to do. After I did a juice cleanse though I can honestly say the pain was 100% gone. It felt amazing and this particular remedy is part of our juicing regimen.

16. Depression – 10 Nutritional Deficiencies that May Cause Depression via Everyday Health

I love articles like this one that spell out that sometimes, if not most of the time, the diseases we have are caused by nutritional deficiencies. Our food should be our medicine, not the pills in the bottom of the bottle. I know sometimes we do need those pills to get us back on track, but in most cases they shouldn’t be the long-term answer. Everyday Health can help those of you suffering from depression and hopefully be able to cut back on pills (but talk to your doctor first).
