No Knead Boule Bread Recipe - Yahoo Recipe Search
The Pioneer WomanWith a golden, crunchy crust and a chewy interior, this no-knead boule recipe is everything you want in an artisanal loaf of bread at home with little effort!Food.comMake and share this Mini No-Knead Boule Bread recipe from Food.com.EpicuriousHere's my basic no-knead, long-fermented rustic bread, a round loaf, or boule. It's an adaptation for the home kitchen of the much larger oval filone and the football-shaped pugliese sold at the Sullivan Street Bakery. I suggest you try this before any of the variations in Chapter Three, to get the hang of it. Even if you've baked before, the process is probably nothing like what your experience would lead you to expect. For one thing, many people who bake this bread find the dough to be unusually wet. Remember that most of the water is meant to be released as steam in the covered pot, and you'll be handling the dough very little anyway. Don't feel too uptight about any of this. For example, I specify that the dough should rise at room temperature, about 72 degrees Fahrenheit. (In many of the recipes, I say to put the dough in a warm, draft-free spot—same thing.) But if that's not what you have at the moment, you'll be okay anyway. Just pay attention to the visual cues: At the end of the first rise, the dough is properly fermented when it has developed a darkened appearance and bubbles, and long, thread-like strands cling to the bowl when it's moved. After the second, briefer, rise, the loaf has risen sufficiently if it holds the impression of your fingertip when you poke it lightly, making an indentation about 1/4 inch deep. It should hold that impression. If it springs back, let it rise for another 15 minutes.EpicuriousHere's my basic no-knead, long-fermented rustic bread, a round loaf, or boule.

After Mark Bittman's feature in the New York Times (November 8, 2006) on Jim Lahey's no-knead bread, I started the search for a sourdough method. I think Breadtopia has the best. The use of parchment paper or proofing baskets makes it very simple. See Recipe #290761. I've found it best to proof the starter in the morning (8-10 hours), then make the sponge in the evening, allowing it to sit out overnight (15 - 18 hours) and then baking it the next day. Cooking time indicated does not include proofing time needed. NOTE: Even though it's recommended to use a La Cloche or a 6-8 quart dutch oven I've been baking my boule in a 4 qt. cast aluminum dutch oven.Food.comThis is a great recipe I adapted from Mother Earth News Magazine. It is super simple. I mix it up, let it rise, put it in the fridge, pull off a hunk of dough before I make my supper. Then I bake it and it's ready for supper. I haven't bought bread since I started using this recipe. It also makes wonderful chewy buns for hamburgers/sandwiches. I've used this basic recipe to make pizza crust and cinnamon rolls too. Once you get the hang of it, it's really easy.
