No Knead Bread - 14.11.15

I stumbled across this recipe here 

A bread that 

NEEDS NO KNEADING!!!!!

INGREDIENTS
3 Cups Flour
.25 (1/4) Spoon Dried Yeast
1T Salt
1.5 Cups Water

METHOD
Heat oven 180C
High shelf in the oven.

 Chuck the flour, yeast and 1 tablespoon of salt into a bowl, add the water

 and stir until everything is whetted.

 It makes a wet and sticky 'dough'
Cover and leave for 24 hours.

 Dough gets VERY bubbly
: )

Tip out onto a bed of flour, dust with more flour and flatten out your sticky mess - plenty of flour.
Fold up your dough into of thirds, repeat once, or fold any way you fancy - plenty of flour needed so you don't stick.

 Put into cooking trays - support the sides with rolled up tea towels if you want French sticks, 

or tins and/or banetons (dough's a bit too sticky for proving bowls like these : / ).

Leave to rise again for at least 1 hour and up to 6  hours.


 Or put them straight onto the warm (not too hot) griddle. These were like old fashioned MUFFINS crossed with CRUMPETS 
: P

Cook HOT - ideally with a pizza stone under the tins, or in the woodburner.

The finished bread is light, and airy with a great texture and the thinnest,crispiest crust ever.

Can also be made using your own sourdough yeast culture and any flour you fancy.

Try it, 

it's

GENIUS!!!
