No knead bread

Because I got tired of looking at the Wart Removal post I decided to hijack a post and put up something new. Now, in no way is this bread the nutritious, healthy, wholesome kind of stuff that usually gets posted on here but it is horribly carb filled and oh so yummy.

No Knead Bread

yield One 1 1/2 lb loaf

3 cups flour, more for dusting

1/4 tsp yeast

1 1/4 tsp salt

1 5/8 cup water

a bit of cornmeal

Combine your flour, yeast, salt and water. Stir until mixed, it will look very sticky. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit on your counter for 12-18 hours. (yes you read that right) You have to remember to start this the afternoon or evening BEFORE you want it.

The dough looks kind of bubbly when it's ready. Dust your counter top with flour and plop the dough out of your bowl. Fold the dough over on itself a couple/few times. Remember, it's NO KNEAD bread. (it's best if you remember to take your rings off)

Shape the dough into a ball and cover with a towel. You can do this right on your counter or on a cookie sheet.  Let rise for 2 hours.

4. Heat oven to 450 degrees, find a heavy pot, I love to use my enameled cast iron pot. Flip/plop the dough into the pot and put the lid on. Bake for 30 min and then take the lid off and bake for another 10 to make the top a beautiful golden brown.

5. Take the loaf out and let cool on a rack.

It's perfect with some yummy homemade soup!
