If you bake a whole wheat loaf, you might want to add 5 g of <a href='gluten_flour.html'>gluten flour</a> to help it rise.</p><p>The bread can be left to rise overnight. I usually mix it at around 2100, and bake it early the next morning at 0800. Unlike a lot of bread recipes, there is no second rise, and you don't need to knead or monitor it at all, because the gluten develops on its own. It's a recipe that is very hard to fail at, and you'll get good bread every time!</p><p>We sometimes add spices to the dough, like <a href='chili_pepper_flakes.html'>chili</a> and <a href='garlic.html'>garlic</a>, or we make a more hearty bread by adding <a href='pumpkin_seeds.html'>pumpkin seeds</a> or <a href='sunflower_seeds.html'>sunflower seeds</a>. Experiment with it!</p><p><b>Baking without a dutch oven</b></p><p>If you don't have a cast-iron container with a lid, you can use a baking pan with foil. This is the method I use, because I lack a good lid. While the bread doesn't have a hard top crust, the result is still great (the bottom will be tougher than the top). Coat the bread pan with <i>15 ml (1 tbsp)</i> <a href='olive_oil.html'>olive oil</a>, and sprinkle the inside of the pan with some <a href='cornmeal.html'>cornmeal</a> (enough to cover it all in a thin coat). The cornmeal will keep the dough from sticking to the pan. Bread pans don't keep their temperature as well as cast-iron cookware, so the bread will stick due to lack of heat. Oiling the pan is necessary.</p><p><b>Sourdough version</b></p><p>To make sourdough no-knead bread, replace the commercial yeast with a little less than 170 g (3/4 cup) of healthy, well-fed <a href='sourdough_starter.html'>sourdough starter</a>. Give the dough an extra long rise and then transfer the proofed dough into a hot cast-iron pot with a lid.</p></div><dl class='ingredients'><h3>bread preparation</h3><dt><a href='all_purpose_flour.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/all_purpose_flour.png'/><b>all purpose flour</b></a><u>240 g</u></dt><dt><a href='spelt_flour.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/spelt_flour.png'/><b>spelt flour</b></a><u>100 g</u></dt><dt><a href='salt.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/salt.png'/><b>salt</b></a><u>2.5 g</u></dt><dt><a href='water.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/water.png'/><b>water</b></a><u>350 ml</u></dt><dt><a href='active_dry_yeast.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/active_dry_yeast.png'/><b>active dry yeast</b></a><u>2.5 g</u></dt></dl><ul class='instructions'><li>In a large bowl, mix <i>240 g (2 cups)</i> of all purpose flour, <i>100 g (1 cup)</i> of <a href='spelt_flour.html'>spelt flour</a> (whole wheat works too), <i>5 g (1 tsp)</i> of <a href='salt.html'>salt</a>, and <i>2.5 g (1/2 tsp)</i> of <a href='active_dry_yeast.html'>active dry yeast</a>.

The dough will be wet - that's okay, there is no need to add extra flour.</li><li>Put a bag or cloth over the bowl, and let the dough rest <u>anywhere from 9 to 24 hours</u>. Ideally, prepare the dough in the evening and let it rest overnight.</li><li><u>Next morning:</u>, turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, and form it into a round loaf. Let dough rest for 1 h.</li><li>Add your dutch oven on the lowest oven rack and then preheat your oven to <u>230 °C (450 °F)</u>. Pre-heat your container for <u>30 minutes</u>. (To bake <b>without a dutch oven</b>, I have a mini-tutorial in the recipe description above.)</li><li>Place the wet dough on a lightly floured surface. Shape the dough into a rough ball. If too wet to handle, put some flour on your hands.</li><li>After 30 minutes has passed, carefully take out the dutch oven with oven mitts — careful, it's hot! Lay the dutch oven over a neutral surface (wooden board, kitchen towel etc). Place your bread into the dutch oven. At this point, you can add some seeds overtop of the bread. In this recipe, I used <a href='sesame_seeds.html'>sesame seeds</a>, but <a href='poppy_seeds.html'>poppy seeds</a> or quick oats would also be good. Cover with lid and place back inside oven.</li><li>Bake for <u>30 minutes</u>.</li><li>After <u>30 minutes</u>, take the lid off, and let it cook uncovered for <u>another 7 minutes</u>. Let cool completely before slicing.</li></ul></main><footer><a href='about.html'>Grimgrains</a> © 2014—2022 <a href='https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/' target='_blank'> BY-NC-SA-4.0</a><br><a href='http://100r.co/' target='_blank'>Hundred Rabbits</a></footer></body></html>
