Homemade whole wheat bread without yeast

Tired of the same process of adding yeast to every other bread recipe? Well, here I am with a healthy yet delicious whole wheat bread recipe you will love. Homemade whole wheat bread without yeast is the only quick recipe that bakes beautifully without proofing or resting.

This whole wheat bread without yeast is a quick bread recipe that only requires short durations like traditional bread. It avoids using yeast to speed up the process of preparing your bread. Instead, it uses artificial leavening agents such as baking powder and baking soda. Isn’t it a great idea to get your bread quickly prepared?

In this bread, we use whole wheat or atta to make a healthy alternative compared to the bread made using refined flour. Instead of sugar, we use honey to make this bread. The bread’s light and fluffy texture is a result of the baking soda and powder that are used in it. However, baking soda needs an acid to react; therefore, we will use yogurt to get that acid required for the reaction.

What equipment do I need to make homemade whole-wheat bread without yeast?

Spatula

Bread loaf Tin

Serrated bread knife

Pastry brush: This is for milk wash. You will want to avoid using a wooden brush oven here. Why? Because your bread is all proofed and happy, and you don’t want to use a rough pastry brush and punch a hole in there! This brush will be gentle on the dough and get the job done.

Dough scraper: Dough scraper is for portioning your dough and is essential while making bread. The one I use is from my college days, so it’s a one-time investment. I have given a link to the one I use, which is stainless steel, so the chances of it getting bent are meager. Use it to clean your hands and table while making the dough, cut out portions, lift the dough, and even shape high-hydration dough.

A set of teaspoons and tablespoons: I use a stainless steel measuring spoon set, which was provided to me from my pastry college. I did use the plastic ones, but let me tell you, stainless steel is best for long-term and safe use.

Big Bowl: I use this big bowl because, when I shoot videos, it reflects the light, and you also get to see all the ingredients. These bowls can also be used in the microwave.

Weighing Scale: Not everything good is costly, and this weighing scale is perfect for weighing all your recipes. I have been using this one for 6 years, and then it broke because, well, I dropped it by mistake. You would think I bought one after that, but no. I decided to use a tape and kept using it for 6 more months until it finally gave up, and I had to buy another one.
