Homemade bread is so much healthier and tastier for you and your family. Does anything really compare to freshly baked bread in the oven? The smell when you take it out. The melting butter on each slice as it drips onto your fingers. The idea of making it homemade also gives you a sense of accomplishment because there's something natural and organic feeling about going back to the basics. 

While the oven or a bread machine are the main kitchen appliances that come to mind when you think about making bread at home, your treasured pressure cooker can come in quite handy too. 

Did you know that you can proof your bread dough in the Instant Pot using the yogurt function? Yep, in fact, it cuts the time in half compared to regular proofing! You can also cook many bread loaves directly in the pressure cooker and we're talking about savory and sweet creations here. 

We've collected quick bread and yeast bread recipes that you can create in the Instant Pot in half the time compared to traditional methods. You'll be surprised just how many baked goods you can make in a pressure cooker!

 

Difference Between Quick Bread & Yeast Bread

The ingredients used in making bread determines whether it is a yeast bread or quick bread. You need something that’ll get the dough to rise. Yeast bread uses yeast which reacts with warm water to create carbon dioxide and helps the bread dough to rise. While quick bread uses a leavening agent other than yeast, such as baking soda or baking powder. In sourdough bread, it's the sourdough starter that does the magic.

This difference determines if the dough needs proofing. The quick bread batter doesn’t require proofing time or much kneading. They can be fully cooked using just the Instant Pot, with no need for baking in the oven. Yeast bread dough needs proofing, which can take a bit of time. Fortunately, proofing in an Instant Pot speeds up the process and cuts the overall recipe time to only a few hours including baking (cooking) time.

How To Proof Dough In The Instant Pot

  1. Make the dough as normal according to your recipe. Stop where it begins instructing you to set it aside covered and in a warm place to proof.
  2. Put your dough on parchment paper. You can put the parchment paper with the bread dough directly in the pot or insert the steam rack/trivet first so it's easier to pull out. You can also spray the bottom of the pot with some oil and place the dough directly in the pot.  
  3. Secure the lid firmly. Press the Quick Release button down until it clicks into Venting position. On Duo Classic, turn the steam release handle to Venting position. 
  4. Turn on the Instant Pot and press the YOGURT button. Press it again to cycle to Less mode (which will give you lower heat). 

It will take less than 30 minutes to double the dough size. At this point, take the dough out of the Instant Pot. It should be a little sticky and bubbly-looking, then knead if a recipe calls for it. Continue on with the rest of your recipe and bake in the oven.

These steps are a general guideline for converting bread recipes for the Instant Pot, but if you want exact instructions try these delicious Instant Pot bread recipes below. You will also find ideas and recipes for bread you can cook directly in the pressure cooker.
