Another No-Knead Bread

Another No-Knead Bread

I've made this twice in the last 3 days. Couldn't be easier - takes less than a minute after you gather the flour, water, yeast and salt. And it's delicious! The crust is just what I have been unable to find down here in the South in commercially produced bread. First time, the crust was crunchy and a little too hard. This morning, I brushed it with a little butter right out of the oven and it softened up the crust perfectly - still crunchy, but not hard. Today, I also turned the oven temp down to 475 and then 450 for the last 10 minutes. Oh, and I didn't use my hands to mix - I used a Danish dough whisk. Pics show a HALF of a recipe. I don't have semolina flour, so I used cornmeal.

Here are the written directions, and a link for a 4 minute instructional video...

Chef Juergen Temme of The Culinary Institute of America demonstrates how easy it can be to make bread with no kneading whatsoever. The key is leaving yourself lots of time, because 15-plus hours are necessary to transform a mixture of 2 cups water, 4 cups of bread flour, 1 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon dry active yeast into a loaf of rustic bread. Instead of using your hands, you let time do the work.

First, he mixes together the dry ingredients and pours them into the bowl with the water. Chef Temme mixes the ingredients together with his hands, then, when he's got a wet, sticky dough, places the mixture in an oiled container with a lid. He lets the dough sit for 12 hours at room temperature, until the gluten has developed and the dough is proofed. He removes it from the container and forms it into a rough loaf, then places it on a kitchen towel that's been sprinkled with semolina flour. (He sprinkles the top of the loaf with the semolina, as well.) Another 2 1/2 hours of proofing and the bread is finally ready to bake. To achieve a good crust and moist interior crumb, he uses a cast-iron pot with a lid to create a mini-bread oven. He preheats the pot in a 500F oven, then carefully sets the dough inside and re-covers the pot. The bread is baked for 40 minutes at 500F. (Remove the top for the last 10 minutes so the moisture can escape and help the crust set.)

Remove the bread from the pot immediately, but wait for it to cool before slicing.

I'm going to try the ingredients on a stone (no DO) - see if it turns out as delicious...

I tried another no-knead this morning (18 hour rest). It was pretty bad...4 C. of flour and only 1/4 t. of yeast????
I'll stick with this one I posted her! YUMMO. (I eat a piece or two and throw the rest in the trash...my bad, or my good, depending on your point of view!)

Well, it's good, but not $75 on a DO! Don't you have a DO? Even a camp DO would work, legs and all...

I'm so tempted to try this as I'm a such a "bread-aholic". Plus I can't eat the bread without slathering it with butter!
Oh, dear, oh, dear.... :?

Maybe you shouldn't try it - that L O N G S L O W rise really develops the flavor of this bread...
I just about die when I toss it in the trash...I hear my hips sing my praises, but my taste buds are cursing my very existence.

Mitch.... I've got a DO but it's not cast iron and it wouldn't substain those temps....So maybe I'll see if I can hunt one down
from a neighbor...one that's still into the cast iron... I have a skillet one for my corn bread but not with a lid and the debth wouldn't be enough...
Ok, now I'll see is Lenora does the deed and makes that delicous lookin bread...

By the way..Mitch.. ya still didn't answer my question... What was the differnece between the bucket bread and this one...Now as my bread
goes days in the frig it does bring on a intense flavor...

Guess by the time we're done discussing this bread many on lookers are gonna be making bread :) Whoopie

God Bless
Zeee...

Psst tomorrow I'm making MONKEY BREAD...company coming :) wait..with Pillsbury that dough boy is good to me :)

Mitch, let me know if it works on a stone. I don't own a DO & have no intentions of getting one. But it's fun to make no-knead bread, so I'll give it a whirl if you can do it without one.

do you mean the "artisan bread in five minutes a day" bread - the one where you keep it in the fridge in a "bucket" and pull off what you need each day?
If so, this counter bread is tastier. I tried an 18 hour bread today and didn't like the texture, but the flavor was really good.
I'll just have to keep experimenting - luckily, flour is cheap!!

Mitch, I was reading in the 5 Minute Bread book something about not thoroughly cleaning the bucket between batches. They said something about the residual dough creates a sort of sourdough starter, giving the bread a nice flavor. Haven't tried that yet, but I'm going to make up a new batch of dough this weekend. I'll keep the bucket's "left-overs" and see what happens. But it sounds like you're making more than I am at this point -- or maybe Zeee is. Anyway y'all can experiment and between the bunch of us we'll come up with some pretty interesting concoctions!

Looks like I might have to post my recipe for Spoon Bread. ;) It's been years since I've made that.

Mitch, you need to stop throwing all that good bread away. If you aren't gonna eat it, throw it out for the poor little hungry birdies. They will sing your praises this spring. LOL

Thanks for the reminder. I always forget that!! (although we spend a fortune on birdseed all year long...)

Is it okay to give birds bread? You're not supposed to give it to ducks, right?
