This delicious and sweet No-Knead Apple Yeast Bread is moist and flavorful. It’s loaded with lots of fresh apple chunks and plenty of warm cinnamon. The aroma of it baking in the oven is something you need to experience, and its taste is out of this world!
If you’ve shied away from baking yeast bread before because you think they’re complicated and fiddly what with all that kneading, this No-Knead Apple Yeast Bread is right up your alley!
This dough basically takes only two bowls, one spoon, and a little bit of rising time. You really can’t get any easier or less fiddly than that!
**Please Note – The printable recipe card with detailed instructions and complete ingredient measurements for making No-Knead Apple Yeast Bread is available near the end of this post.
How long will this Apple Yeast Bread take to make from start to finish?
- The first thing you’ll notice about this dough is how wet it is. It’s not at all stiff or firm dough, so don’t be concerned. That said, because this dough is so wet, the rise times and bake time will be longer than your average yeast bread, so please plan accordingly.
- This apple yeast bread will take two risings at 60 minutes each, and one bake at approximately 90 minutes.
- All total, you’re looking at approximately 6 hours from start to finish, and this includes the cool down time.
- Having said that, the hands-on time involved is only like 30 minutes total. You can go about your business doing your own thing while the bread rises and bakes. You won’t need to babysit or fuss with it. Yay!
