No-Knead Heritage Bread recipe, a lovely soft bread, a mix of white and whole wheat flour, and a variety of seeds. Delicious served warm with a big bowl of soup or simply in slices with a generous spread of butter.
This heritage Bread is by far one of the tastiest breads I know!
It's really easy to make and has the added bonus that you can mix everything the night before and leave to rest for 12 hours and simply bake in the morning. The 12 hours rest gives this bread extra elasticity, and there's no kneading involved at all.
What you end up with is a lovely soft bread, which you can cut off in chunks if you're serving with a bowl of soup, ideal for dunking and soaking in that delicious soup! , or slice and spread some butter and eat as it is.

So if you're planning ahead for Thanksgiving or Christmas and want to get ahead of time, you can make up this bread the night before and then bake it the following day when you are ready to serve up your Thanksgiving or Christmas meal. Make a few loaves so you can use them with cold cuts. You know you'll have leftover turkey or ham!
