About No Knead Bread
No knead bread was first published in the famous New York Times by food columnist Mark Bittman. The year was 2006.
His description of this amazing bread: “great crumb, lightness, incredible flavor and enviable, crackling crust.”
Do I need to say more?
I don’t think so. Mark said it the best.
So, if you are interested in incredible flavor this bread recipe is yours to try.
Our first step is to get all ingredients.
Since this is an easy recipe, you will need only a four ingredients:
- flour
- salt
- yeast (active dry yeast)
- water
IMPORTANT: Be sure to check expiration date on your yeast.
Easy No Knead Bread Recipe
Ingredients
4 cups AP flour
1/2 TBSP salt
1 tsp active yeast
2 1/3 cups warm water (110 F or 45 C)
Instructions
Add all 4 ingredients into a large bowl.
IMPORTANT: Please use a large bowl. This bread is not well in small spaces.
So, let me repeat the step 1: Add flour, salt, yeast and water into a large bowl.
Mix all ingredients by metal or wooden spoon.
Be sure there is no dry flour left on the bottom of the bowl.
If it needs a little more water, add by TBSP.
Cover with plastic wrap and kitchen towel and set at room temperature for about 24 hours. (no less than 10 hours and no more than 24 hours)
Find a larger size of baking pan or a cutting board. (whatever you have)
Dust it with a generous amount of flour. (I used 1 cup flour)
Turn dough out onto a flour rich cutting board.
It will be sticky. You will feel resistance as you touch the dough.
But don’t worry. Just be friendly and form the dough into a ball.
Remember: NO KNEAD!
Rest for 30 minutes. (no need to cover)
Meanwhile preheat oven to 450 F.
Oil and heat your baking dish.
After your dough rest for 30 minutes, create “X” on top of the bread and transfer into heated, oiled baking dish.
Cover and bake for 35 minutes.
After 35 minutes uncover and bake for additional 10 minutes or until the bread is golden brown.
Take it out of the oven and sprinkle the top of bread with 1/3 cup of cold water.
Important: My grandmother always did it. Never mind what kind of bread she baked, it was always
sprinkled with water and then covered with kitchen towel.
Cool it.
