Okay, folks - I think I've been using the easiest way to have fresh crusty bread in very little time. I usually make it
this way, but I wanted something requiring even less time on the day of. I think this fits the bill, and less dishes are dirtied on the day the bread is baked. I also think it's the same
thing that Amy Karol does; I found her post after I tried this out. I borrowed
Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day from the library. Let me say that the book is fantastic, and if you're looking for a million recipes based on no-knead dough kept in the fridge, definitely check it out. The idea is that you
mix up your dough, plop it in the fridge (it keeps for a long time), cut off a blob, rest it once and bake it. I don't use the peel or cornmeal; just
bake it the same way as my usual loaf, in the dutch oven. I love having that dough sitting in the fridge, just waiting to be baked!
This ambitious seed, about the size of an egg, drifted into the house the other day. Anyone know what it is? It was so beautiful; I hope it finds a good place to grow.

it would appear to be a thistle seed, for your sake I hope it doesn't grow =)
ReplyDeleteI love that book! I have been using it for about 6 months. I will have to try your dutch oven trick. I really like how tall your loaf turned out! My kids love big pieces. This would fit the bill perfectly. :)
ReplyDeleteThis Ambitious Seed ... sounds like the title of a very good book I would like to read ;)
