Instant Pot Bread

Step 1

Line a 6-8" cake pan with parchment paper. Ensure it can easily fit inside the Instant Pot.

Step 2

Place the trivet in the bottom of the Instant Pot and add 1 cup of water.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let the yeast proof for about 5 minutes or until foamy, then add the flour and salt.

Step 4

This is a no-knead recipe, so just continue mixing the dough by hand until no dry patches appear.

Step 5

Place the dough in the lined pan.

Step 6

Place the cake pan in the Instant Pot and gently place the lid on top (do not need to secure).

Step 7

Select the "Yogurt" setting and let the dough rise for about 1 hour or until doubled. If your Instant Pot has a temperature option, choose "low".

Step 8

While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 425°F.

Step 9

Remove the baking pan from the Instant Pot and place it into the oven (or see note for a loaf).

Step 10

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove from the pan and cool on a rack.
