Forget the Rules: Easy No-Knead Grant Loaf from a 1940s Cookbook

Welcome friends! In this episode of The Old Cookbook Show, we’re revisiting Good Cooking with Yeast (1944) by Ambrose Heath — a slim little beginner’s bread-baking book with simple, practical recipes. Today’s recipe is a fascinating one: the Grant Loaf, also called unneeded bread (no-knead bread). Unlike the modern no-knead loaves that take hours or even overnight, this vintage wholemeal bread can be mixed, risen, and baked in just about 90 minutes. With a wet, “slippery” dough and no kneading required, it’s one of the easiest yeast breads you’ll ever make — and it turns out moist, hearty, and perfect for sandwiches or toast. We’ll walk through the quirky instructions (like “1½ eggs” and warming tins), talk about the history of yeast bread recipes, and show how much flexibility there is when baking with vintage methods. The result? A golden, crusty, homemade loaf that proves you don’t need to follow all the bread “gatekeeping rules” to bake something wonderful. 📚 Featured Cookbook: Good Cooking with Yeast by Ambrose Heath (1944) 🍞 Recipe: The Grant Loaf (no-knead wholemeal bread) 👉 If you love vintage cookbooks, no-knead bread recipes, and exploring forgotten kitchen history, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share! 💬 Have you ever tried making the Grant Loaf, or your own no-knead bread?

UNKNEADED BREAD Recipe (THE GRANT LOAF) In 1944 Mrs. Doris Grant wrote a little book called Our Daily Bread (Faber); and among much interesting matter described an unkneaded loaf which was eventually called The Grant Loaf. It was an extremely interesting experiment, and the loaf thus produced is delicious. This is how the author tells us how to make it. The ingredients are three and a half pounds of English stone-ground whole-wheat flour; two pints and four ounces of water at blood heat; I ounce of sugar, preferably Barbados muscovado cane sugar; one ounce of yeast. The important points to observe in making this bread are (I) warm the flour and the baking-tins, (2) froth up the yeast separately, (3) make the dough wet enough to be slippery and (4) remember that whole-wheat dough must not be kneaded and only requires a few minutes to mix. The method of making is as follows. Mix the salt and flour in a large basin and warm it in the oven-top or above a low gas-flame, so that the yeast will work more quickly. Crumble the yeast into a pudding-basin, add the sugar, and a quarter of a pint of the lukewarm water. Leave for ten minutes to froth up, then stir to dissolve the sugar. Pour this yeasty liquid into the basin of warm flour, add the rest of the warm water, and stir the whole with a wooden spoon until the flour is evenly wetted. The resulting dough should be wet enough to be slippery: most bread is too dry. Grease three two-pint tins inside and warm them well. Spoon the dough into the warmed tins, put them about two feet above a low gas-flame, cover with a cloth and leave for about twenty minutes for the dough to rise by about one-third. Then bake in a moderate oven for forty-five minutes to an hour. Mrs. Grant warns us that if the bread is not allowed to rise sufficiently before being baked, the loaf will be close in texture, and if allowed to rise too high, it will be spongy and will not keep moist so long. This bread, she adds, will keep moist for five days as bread, and can be used for another few days as toast; and this we have proved in my own home. 2025 Give Hope Wings Fundraiser Page: https://ca-p2p.engagingnetworks.app/3...
