Why Do We Knead Bread? Mechanism of No-Knead Bread

Why we cam make bread without kneading, as in no-knead bread? If you understand the reason for kneading bread dough, it's easy question.

I wanted to increase the water content (ratio of water to flour), so I tried different patterns.

When the water content exceeds 85%, it becomes quite difficult to form. Even if you make it into a campagne, it collapses the shape during the secondary fermentation and doesn’t have good enough height.
Then I decided to make a focaccia, which is originally a thin bread.

I wanted to increase the water content as much as possible, but at 100% the holes would close up too quickly and the baking wouldn’t be as fluffy as I wanted.
The best for Focaccia was to use 90% water content in this recipe.
The dough is so sticky that touching it directly with your hands is a big problem. The key is to pour olive oil over the dough and shape it using a smooth motion.

Here is a recipe for ciabatta, the easiest no-knead bread.
