Can I use a blender to make bread dough?

Yes, absolutely. A blender works perfectly for no-knead bread recipes because you’re not developing gluten through kneading. Instead, you're blending wet ingredients (milk, eggs, butter, sugar) to a creamy, consistent mix. Then, you combine it with dry ingredients by hand to create a pourable dough. It saves time, ensures even mixing, and eliminates the need for heavy equipment.

What are the 4 ingredients in no knead bread?

At its simplest, no-knead bread includes: Flour Yeast Salt Water This base can be elevated with eggs, milk, and butter for a richer, softer loaf—like in this blender bread recipe. You still enjoy the same no-knead simplicity, but with added flavor and moisture.

How do bakers get their bread so fluffy?

Fluffiness comes from a few key factors: Proper hydration : A high-moisture dough results in a lighter crumb. Perfect yeast balance : Using the right amount of yeast (and giving it time to rise) ensures good air pockets. Accurate mixing : Blending wet ingredients creates a smooth, even base. Gentle handling : Since this dough isn’t kneaded, it maintains more air, which adds to softness. This is exactly why our soft, fluffy homemade bread method works—even without kneading.

Why add vinegar to no knead bread?

A small splash of vinegar can: Help tenderize the dough Enhance gluten development without kneading Add subtle flavor Extend shelf life by lowering pH It’s optional in this blender bread recipe, but a teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice can boost softness—especially if you’re using all-purpose flour instead of bread flour.

Instructions

Crack eggs into a small bowl and set aside.
In a blender, combine milk, eggs, sugar, and melted butter. Blend for 2 minutes until smooth.
Pour the blended mix into a large bowl. Add the instant yeast and stir gently.
In another bowl, mix together bread flour and salt.
Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture and stir to form a thick, pourable batter.
Line a loaf pan (10.6 × 6 × 2.6 inches) with parchment paper and pour in the batter.
Cover and proof for 30–60 minutes or until doubled in size.

Bake for 40 minutes until golden. Let cool before slicing.

Notes

You can substitute all-purpose flour if needed, though bread flour yields a fluffier result.
For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and oil instead of butter.
Make it sweet with chocolate chips or cinnamon swirl, or savory with garlic and herbs.
Bread freezes well for up to 2 months—slice before freezing for easy toast-on-demand.
