no knead bread
January 26th, 2009 @ 23:03I swear I will never bake any other bread than this again. Don’t hold me to it though, because I’m actually already eyeballing a recipe for a no knead, whole grain, fruit and nut bread that I really want to make. It will require a trip to the store though, so not now.
Anyway, I know this bread has been making the rounds. Everyone has blogged it and those who haven’t wish they had. I didn’t actually get around to making it until yesterday even though I’ve wanted to for ages. I’m not the kind of person who usually plans her baking ahead of time, unless it’s for some grand event, so I’m going to say that’s why I hadn’t made it until just now. It takes many, many hours of rising. I recently found the quicker version of this bread though and that helped me spring into action. It’s so good! The crust is amazing! The taste is awesome! It takes barely any active time! I could go on forever… still, it will take a good 6-8 hours of rising, and then another hour of proofing, and almost another one of baking… not to mention the time it takes for it to cool enough to eat. It’s almost torture.
The recipe for the quicker version is here. The only thing I did differently is that I used flour instead of oil to keep the dough from sticking to much. I floured my work surface well and let the dough proof for an hour with more flour sprinkled on top instead of the suggested method of misting it with oil.
p.s. This is the second loaf of this bread I have made in two days. It’s that good.
I’ve made another kind of no knead bread that is a bit quicker (with yeast of course, bread made with baking soda is awful!) and tastes almost like oatmeal porridge. I like it!

Comment by Nicole - January 27th, 2009 at 5:43 pmThat bread looks absolutely fabulous. I have to try it. That crust…ooooh. I bet it was fluffy and wonderful inside. I can’t wait to see the fruit and nut one you are considering making.
Comment by Maria - January 27th, 2009 at 6:17 pmOoh, this looks great! I had a bread failure recently, but I’m going to give this one a go in the hopes of a bread success!
Comment by s - January 28th, 2009 at 7:35 amI have been talking about making this for AGES. I even received a pot LAST YEAR that I planned to use to make it. I think I may have to finally do it!
Comment by Melisser - January 28th, 2009 at 12:23 pmFunny coincidence, I just thought about making the no-knead bread yesterday but then got discouraged by the 12-hour rising time! I will definitely try this, your bread looks so tasty – and it just feels more simple when everything is done on the same day, even if it still takes hours and hours.
Comment by Anni - January 28th, 2009 at 3:53 pmwow! that is amazing looking bread… the only good thing about all the waiting, is that you really don t have to do anything.. you just wait.
