No-Knead bread~easy recipe with only time [email protected]

July 13, 2017 by Rosa 4 Comments

I personally name this bread a miracle bread or a starter bread because

all you concern here is time plus a good cast iron pot, it is very simple and as easy as  ABC ….you never screw this up.

I firmly believe that everyone should give a go…a freshly made ,

a crusty homemade bread would be proud to serve you with most profound pleasures, trust me.

New Addition ~gluten free no knead bread…

Gluten Free Version~

 

 

Ingredients : 

1- 3 1/2 cups of all purpose flour  * ( prepare 1/2  cup of extra flour for shaping )

2- 1 tbsp   instant yeast

3- 1 1/2     tsp  salt

4- 2 cups of warm water

* ( measuring cup )

Gluten free version…

1 – 3 1/2 cups of  gluten free all purpose flour  * ( prepare 1/2  cup of extra flour for shaping )

2- 1 small  pkg of  gluten free dry yeast

3- 1 1/2     tsp  salt

4- 2 cups of warm water

5 – 1 tbsp of gluten free xanthan gum

* ( measuring cup )

Steps :

1- mix all dry ingredients  in a large bowl with a cover ( I simply use hands to mix  )

2- mix in water until it is all incorporated.

( don ‘t bother if  it is too messy and shaggy, anyway you wash hands afterwards )

3- cover with a  cover or use a plastic wrap, let sit for 8-10 hours for proofing in room temperature.

( or put in the fridge overnight , but not advice over proofing for 16-18 hours)

4- transfer dough to well floured working surface with floured hands.

5- make sure no knead, just fold and flip till dough shape, cover and rest 10 minutes.

6-  preheated oven 450 F

7-place a  6 quart enamel coated cast iron pot in the preheated oven for about 15 mins.

8- place the dough on a piece of parchment  and cut 2-3 lines on top of the dough with a sharp knife ( * optional )

9- left the dough and parchment together into the pot, be very careful and focus otherwise get burn easily.

10- bake with cover for 30 minutes, then carefully open the cover, spray top of the bread all over with spring water or simply cold water

and bake 15 minutes more for nicely brown and crispy, done.

11- remove your crispy bread out carefully  from oven .and cool on a rack 15 minutes before cutting .

ENJOY !

      hi, I don”t think it is a good idea to replace this recipe in a bread maker cos it is a no-knead bread recipe, just put all ingredients together and
      follow the simple steps , then it is done .Just give it a try, sure you love it.

    It’s a very simple and easy to follow recipe. So tempting to give a try. However I don’t have cast iron pot. Can you recommend replacement or cast iron pot is a must?

      hi, sorry i missed your comment till now, refer to your comment cast iron pot is not a must , simply use any oven proof pot should be all right I guess,

      give a try here and bingo!
