How to Make Instant Pot Bread
While bread is usually extremely time consuming to make, this recipe is quick, easy and delicious. All you need is a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time.
- To get started, line and grease a 6-8” cake pan. You will want to ensure that this pan fits easily inside your Instant Pot.
- Place the trivet inside your instant pot, adding in 1 cup of warm water.
- In a large cowl, combine the water, yeast, salt and sugar.
- Allow the yeast to proof for approximately 3 minutes before you add the flour.
- Gently add in the flour and keep in mind that this recipe doesn’t require any kneading. Just mix the dough by hand until no dry patches are left.
- Fold the prepared dough out into the cake pan in the Instant Pot and place the lid on top. You don’t need to secure the lid.
- Using the “Keep warm” setting on the IP, allow the dough to rise for 2 hours. If you are looking for a speedier rise, select the yogurt setting and allow to rise for 45 minutes with the lid on.
- After the dough has doubled in size, you can either refrigerate it, or continue baking.
- Loosely cover the pan with aluminium foil and secure the lid and select the manual setting, baking for 45 minutes.
- Perform a natural release.
- If desired, you can toast the loaf of bread under the broiler of your oven for a few minuets to achieve a browner exterior.
