no knead bread

first rise

the food blogging world has been buzzing with talk about the no knead bread recipe by jim lahey. I’m sure you’ve read about the recipe. and even if you haven’t I don’t really need to tell you what it’s all about because you can read it yourself! I love the idea because it’s a method of cooking that I fully embrace… passive cooking (i.e. crockpot cooking… long cooking times very with very little action involved).

when I first read the recipe I immediately added it to my todo list. a month or so later I finally was able to try it out! the follow up article by mark bittman suggests the addition of a little more salt and that wheat flour can be substituted in at a maximum of 50 percent. it’s very easy. and very passive. hopefully making my own bread will become habit.
