This is my first attempt at the NYT no knead bread recipe. I started
yesterday at noon with the exact recipe. At 9 am this morning I started the dough on it's 2nd rise. It looked precisely as it should according to the article. I used two linen cloths, the bottom dusted with a flour/cornmeal mix, then topped with the same mix and another towel, let rise for 2 hours then baked. I don't have a dutch oven, or cast iron pot or anything like that and I don't think my pyrex was large enough, so I used a regular, cheap soup pot and lid. I wrapped the handles in foil and followed the recipe. I just tasted it and it is wonderful! It's moist and full of large, shiny holes and the crust is crispy, wonderful. Here are some pics: http://tinyurl.com/yn2kzo I need to buy more flour, but I'm anxious to try again. I'd like to see it rise a bit more..it's a little shy of 3 inches high (don't have a ruler to measure. -- "Life is a journey, Time is a river, The door is ajar." - The Dresden Files |
