No-Knead Whole Wheat Bread image

"From County Cork, Ireland" from Jane Kinderlehrer's the Art of Cooking with Love and Wheat Germ (and Other Natural Foods). I am editing the instructions because I made this today and see that they're really weird. Preheat the oven, then make the dough and let it rise for an hour? I don't think so. Also, today I was standing at the health food store thinking, "wheat germ...I think I wanted that for something...oh well." And I didn't get it. So I made the bread with King Arthur's White Whole Wheat Flour and no wheat germ or sesame seeds. It is soooo good. I also cooked it at 350 for 50 minutes along with Melody Ashcraft's Recipe #213228, and it turned out fine. (Does anyone know if you really have to warm the flour up for 20 minutes? Thanks.)

Time 2h5m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 teaspoons dry yeast
2/3 cup water, lukewarm
2 teaspoons honey
5 cups whole wheat flour
3 tablespoons molasses
2/3 cup water, lukewarm
1 tablespoon salt
1/3 cup wheat germ
1 1/3 cups water, lukewarm
1 teaspoon butter (for greasing the pan)
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°F.
  • Sprinkle yeast over 2/3 cup lukewarm water and add honey. The yeast should proof.
  • Warm flour in a 250°F oven for about 20 minutes.
  • Combine molasses and 2/3 cup of lukewarm water and add to the yeast mixture.
  • Stir this into the flour.
  • Add salt, wheat germ, and 1 1/3 cups lukewarm water. The dough will be sticky.
  • Butter a 9"x5" loaf pan and turn the dough into the pan. No kneading is necessary. (When I next make this, I'm planning to divide it into 2 loaf pans because I think smaller, non-mushroom-shaped loaves will be easier and less crumb-y to cut. But if you do this, don't bake it for 50 minutes. That's too long. I'll edit again once I figure that time out.).
  • Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top.
  • Let rise to about 1/3 more. (45-60 minutes).
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Bake for 50 minutes until crust is brown.
  • Remove pan from oven and cool on rack for 10 minutes. Remove bread from pan and cool completely on rack.

This bread is a bit too dense for my taste, but it still has a good flavor.

This bread was a bit denser than I expected, but it still had a great flavor. I think next time I'll try using a different type of flour, maybe a blend of whole wheat and all-purpose. Overall, I'm happy with the results and I'll definitely be making
