COOK'S ILLUSTRATED ALMOST NO KNEAD BREAD

If you're familiar with the "traditional" no knead recipe, I think you will find the results of this significantly different. This crust has a nice crunch to it but is much thinner and easier to chew and the interior crumb is tighter (smaller holes) and softer.

BEST NO KNEAD BAGUETTE

I got this off of the internet and so I thought I'd try it. I have not made it as of yet, but plan to within the week. With just the two of us, a loaf can last a few days. I love the feel and smell of a good yeast dough, but for busy days, this comes in handy. Hope you'll give it a try and let me know what you think of it. Times don't include 2 hour rise time.

Time 1h10m

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water (110 -115 )
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon shortening, melted
4 cups all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons cornmeal (optional)

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water.
  • Add sugar, salt, shortening, and 1 cup warm water; stir until dissolved.
  • Add flour and stir until smooth.(you may knead, but it's not necessary).
  • Cover and let rise in a draft-free, warm place for an hour or until doubled.
  • Turn onto floured surface. Divide in half; let rest for 5 minutes.
  • Roll each half into a 10"x8" rectangle. Roll up from the long side; pinch along seam edges to seal.
  • Place seam side down on oiled baking sheets sprinkled with cornmeal. Cover and let rise again until doubled, approximately 45 minutes.
  • With a very sharp knife, make 5 diagonal cuts across the top of each loaf.
  • Bake as directed or until lightly browned.
  • Cool on wire racks.

Tips:

  • Use a digital scale to measure ingredients. Accuracy is key when baking, so using a digital scale will ensure that you get the right proportions of ingredients.
  • Proof the dough twice. Proofing allows the dough to rise and develop flavor. Proofing the dough twice will give you a better rise and a more flavorful baguette.
  • Use a Dutch oven or a baking sheet with a baking stone. This will help to create a steamy environment that will give your baguettes a crispy crust.
  • Score the baguettes before baking. Scoring the baguettes will help them to rise evenly and prevent them from cracking.
  • Bake the baguettes until they are golden brown. The exact baking time will vary depending on the size and shape of your baguettes, so keep an eye on them and remove them from the oven when they are done.

Conclusion:

These almost no-knead baguettes are easy to make and absolutely delicious. With a little planning, you can have fresh, homemade baguettes for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
