Curious how to make a basic no-knead bread recipe using your instant pot?
Find the best instant pot bread recipe here.
Finding sufficient time to knead and proof bread dough, however, is next to impossible year-round.
(The only exception: a pandemic-prompted lockdown.)
Why does using your Instant Pot to proof dough work so well?
This grease layer will help to create a barrier as the dough begins to expand and rise.
…
This will also make removing the dough from the inside of the Instant Pot much easier.
Typically, most dough recipes using yeast will require at least two rises that can take several hours each.
However, if your dough dimples and slowly rises when poked, then its good to go.
Combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar in a small bowl and stir.
Allow the mixture to sit undisturbed for a few minutes.
If the mixture doesnt begin to bubble, you should restart with new yeast.
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt, and form a well in the center.
Slowly begin to add the yeast mixture into the middle.
Using a wooden spoon, stir the dry and wet ingredients together to form a droopy-but-cohesive dough.
Line the inside of your Instant Pot with parchment paper and grease with the oil.
Dust a flat working surface with flour and place the dough on top.
Shape the dough into a tight, round ball.
Return to the Instant Pot, and allow to proof for another 30 minutes at 90F.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450F.
Place a high-heat-proof dutch oven with the lid on into the oven while it preheats for about 30 minutes.
Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and bake the bread covered for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
