Debunking Beer Can Chicken: A Waste Of Good Beer, And Dangerous
Like most of the foodie world, I was totally entranced by the No-Knead Bread recipe that got posted in the New York Times Dining and Wine section last fall (although I didn't get around to making it until January). I baked the bread in a variety of pots, with different types and combinations of flours and played around with the length of the fermenting time. It was the first time in my life I felt totally comfortable baking bread.
But then the weather started getting nice and I promptly forgot about this terrific recipe. However, thanks to Jaden (and her Steamy Kitchen) I am once again reminded about the No-Knead Bread. She posted a little photo essay of her son making the dough all by himself and it is totally sweet and endearing. And the bread comes out golden, with that perfectly browned crust.

It is not only the easiest but the best tasting bread one could possibly make. It's so good I try to pass it off as a family recipe passed down for 100 years or so...but then i usually break down and tell the truth. This bread is sublime and I can't wait for the weather to turn cooler so i can afford to turn on the oven!

The enclosed pot makes for improved crusts (those "singing" crusts I worked for years to perfect) without the crazy-making process of providing steam in the oven cavity.

60% water 40% (by weight +/-10%) salt oil sugar yeast. mix, leave for 24 to 48 hours, feed with flour and then leave another 24hours. then usually I use a beater with a dough hook and give it a good 15 min or so, until it's workable coat in flour shape and back, good airy bread almost ciabatta like

After years of trying hand-kneading, kitchenaid, and bread machines with mediocre results, I'm at long last making great bread that's better than anything I can buy. I didn't want to spring for a dutch oven, so tried the ceramic lining of an old crockpot with a glass cover, which works perfectly.
My only failure was an attempt to use the same recipe (with olive oil added) to make pizza. The crust was all tough and nasty. I tried making it in a cast iron skillet, which may be part of the problem. Anyway, anybody made great pizza crust with this method? Seems like it should work.

A trip to the ER and lots of pain meds later, it was still delicious enough that I kept making it (just a little more carefully from then on).

9-14-2007 @6:31PM Davey said... Yeah, I came very close to big-time burns more than once, but didn't get anything as serious as you did. There's STILL the impulse to just grab the thing -- it just looks so innocent or something. It's a real tribute to the bread that you ever wanted to even see it again, much less bake it.

I think I'm going to use this method to make some hard rolls for Thanksgiving this year - if I shape the dough into balls and put them in the casserole, it should work...right?
