This is the 1st bread I've tried, and it is VERY good! The crust is nice and crunchy, too.
No Knead Artisan Bread
Recipe:
3 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon of any yeast
2 teaspoons of salt
1 1/2 cups lukewarm water
Directions:
Mix dry ingredients in large bowl. Add water, and thoroughly mix with spoon. Dough will be sticky and wet.
Cover with plastic wrap, and let sit for 12-18 hours. (yes, hours!) Flour your preparation surface, and remove dough from bowl onto floured surface. (Check out those gluten strands--wow!!). Flatten the dough slightly with your hands making a semi-rectangle shape. Fold two of the sides/edges to the middle, repeat with the other two sides. Sprinkle some corn meal on your preparation surface, flip the loaf over, seam side down. Cover with a cloth, and let rise for two hours. 1 1/2 hours later, preheat oven (with dutch oven and lid inside) to 500 degrees for 30 mins.
Place loaf into dutch oven (using your hands, a pizza peel, etc.), cover with lid, and bake at 500 for 30 mins. Remove lid, and bake another 10-15 minds depending on how caramelized/crispy you want your bread. Remove loaf from dutch oven and let cool 15-20 mins.
Eat and enjoy!!!
