Surprisingly, I have not spent much time this month on Pinterest. I did find a recipe for no-knead bread that I decided I had to try.
Amazing No-Knead Bread
When I followed the recipe, my bread was a little dry, so I added about 2/3 cup extra water, in order to get all of the flour incorporated.
I let my dough rest for about 18 hours. I started the rise process about 4PM on Saturday, so that I could bake the bread the next morning.
I was worried that adding the extra water had made the dough TOO sticky, but I was able to get it out of the bowl (with quite a bit sticking behind, oops).
My sister gave me the greatest tea towel from her trip to Pella, Iowa, so I decided to use it for the second, two-hour rise.
I forgot to get a picture of the bread in the dutch oven, before sticking it in the oven. The dough filled the pot almost completely. Unfortunately, my pot is the largest I have. I am hoping to add to my collection when we move. (Le Crueset has the coolest set in purple, called Cassis).
Here is the bread in the pot, once it was done baking. Looks so yummy, I could barely resist letting it cool.
The bread had a great crusty outside, and chewy inside. Yep, I could not wait for the bread to completely cool. My bad. I did let it sit for about 20-30 minutes, before I could not wait any longer.
I will definitely be making this bread again. Nice interior texture, and crusty outside. I would almost like to buy a set of the small ramekin size dutch ovens, in order to make mini loaves!
