No Knead Bread
"I found it in the local paper - it comes from Madame de Smet who makes it every day for her restaurant. DONT change a thing especially the amount of salt."
- Ready In:
- 50mins
- Ingredients:
- 5
- Yields:
-
2 loaves
ingredients
- 1 kg unbleached bread flour
- 1 tablespoon dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 950 ml warm water
- flour, for dusting and shaping in addition to the 1 kilo
directions
- Place the four, yeast and salt in a very large bowl Mix in the water to make a quite wet, sticky dough. Use your hands to mix around well. Cover with plastic wrap and leave in fridge overnight.
- Next day, take the bowl from the fridge and leave it to come to room temperature. Prepare two flat trays by lining with baking papers and sprinkling generously with flour. Using a dough scraper ( or flat knife), remove the dough from the bowl to a floured bench. Cut the dough in half. With floured hands lightly shape each piece into a round. Place the dough on floured trays and press/pull lightly into flatish cibatta shapes. Flip them over so that the wrinkled, floured sides are now on top. Place the trays in a COLD, fan-forced oven set to 220°C Bake for 50 mins or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped. Cool on wire racks. It is wonderful fresh but it is also great as toast a cuppla days later. ENJOY.

Okay -- it is quite interesting to have to talk about one"s self -- and so hard to be humble::))
I was born in Australia. I am one of 9 kids -- actually right in the middle which makes me the most interesting and cool as well as the one who has "it all together"::)) - or at least I think so!
Now that I am retired, I love to cook. No more do I get home around 8.30 at night and think -- Oh hell, I have to cook dinner.
I belong to the most amazing family. My Mum -- who passed away in July 2008 at the ripe old age of 90 always used to say -- "keep the family together" -- and we do. It is so easy to pick up the phone and tell my siblings I love them.
I am lucky that a lot of my friends are great cooks, so we often swap recipes. I am exceedingly jealous of those who are 'natural' cooks and don't need a recipe. I am the opposite.
Besides cooking, I like the theatre, music, gardening, trying to paint -- another thing that doesn't come naturally -- and meeting people.
My DH was born in America and together we have two toy poodles -- Elliott & Connery -- a cat named NUC (passed away March 2009) -- four chickens and a few koy fish.
DH is GRADUALLY taking an interest in my vegetable garden - one can only live in hope::))
