I have finally jumped on the bandwagon of no knead bread. The craze started 3 years ago and it took me that long to feel compelled to make my own bread and boy was I happy!
The recipe is so ridiculously simple – 3 cups of bread flour, 1.5 cup of tepid water, 1.25 teaspoon of yeast, 0.45 teaspoon of yeast .. and all that from memory too! Mix dry ingredients, stir water in to make shaggy dough (apparently that is the technical term). Leave for 8 hours under plastic wrap, take it out and flip it over a few times and leave it for another hour. Shape into ball and put in Dutch Oven. Then into the oven at 230 C.
Shaggy Dough
First 30 min with lid on, then another 15 mins without the lid.
Bread in the oven
Presto … really yummy crusty bread with little effort! And were people impressed too.

I already made another bread today – an oregano variant.
