No-knead bread needs no explaination.
Well actually it does, but it is so worth it.
Bread. I love bread. I'm French/Italian so I was practically born with a loaf of bread in one hand and a cigarette in the other (just kidding folks). That being said, I can't bake for shit. I've tried and tried, but when it come to flour, baker's yeast, and an oven, the fundamental laws of physics and chemistry jump ship. I must be the only mother alive that can't bake edible cookies for her children. *hangs head in shame* A palm reader once told me the root of my problem was that I didn't know my oven well enough. True story.
Luckily, a really good friend of mine passed this recipe along promising me it was easy and even I couldn't screw it up. And he was right, it turned out fantastic despite my baking deficiency (see picture of my bread-making success). The result was a perfectly crisp bread crust with a soft inside...heaven. Even the French people liked it and that's saying a lot. The only thing I'd do differently next time is add a bit more salt. So, click the LINK and get the recipe for bread from the New York Times that you just can't screw up. If I can do this, so can you.
Note: I'm going to be traveling for the next 2 days so I'll be out until I get back home.
Mmmm, that is a mighty good looking bread and fresh baked bread is the best. Hooray for an easy recipe. I will give it a try.
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think.
DeleteOooh. This looks wonderful. Will be testing.
ReplyDeleteI'd also like to know how it turns out, when ever you get a chance to try it out. :)
DeleteI love delicious bread. All the characters in my book can eat carbs and never get fat. That's at the root of good sci-fi, right?
ReplyDeleteAbsoultely. Also, I'd like to be a character in your book. The "eat carbs and never get fat" part appeals to me.
DeleteI'm a big fan of bread! Looks like those round loafs of Italian bread you buy in the fancy grocery stores.
ReplyDeleteYes it does, only it's cheaper!
DeleteThanks for the recipe! It looks really good. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteLove it, Elise! I'm not much of a bread eater--I've got Gluten issues, LOL. But it does look scrumptious!!! Thanks for sharing--love the pic!
ReplyDeleteSorry hon, gluten is in everything it seems. ):
DeleteWhen I was a teenager, I had the magic touch to bread making. Now, I don't. What the devil happened to me. Maybe it is like when I was a teenager, I won lots of contests or radio station giveaways, now I don't. I've lost the magic that it takes to make bread. Darn it. Well, I'll have to check out the recipe. And good job for making the bread. Success!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love bread. Darn those carbs. Grrr. But I've gotta eat, right? haha
