When one is not enough or how to make a very good bread

I am sharing today a very very good and surprisingly easy done homemade bread recipe. The recipe is rather unusual and sound too easy to be good one, but it really is. I would never have tried myself unless it was one of my contacts on FB that shared the link to this recipe and she is known to bake deliciuos goodies. The kitchen table remains clean as wellas your hands. All you have to do is you spend about 5 minutes for mixing products and then to wait overnight. After I baked this bread for the first time I regularly bake it few times every week. It is hard to believe that something so delicious can be done with so little effort and is so not time consuming. The bread is delicious, very soft inside and crunchy outside. I love it. My husband likes it and he is not the one to be easy impressed with any baked goodies.

Ingredients:


400 g wheat flour


300 g water


1/4 ts yeast (i use dry yeast)


1 ts salt

Directions:

Combine the flour, yeast and salt in a big bowl. Add water and blend it all together. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and a towel and leave the dough to rise for 12-20 hours. Remove the covers and carefully stretch the dough in the bowl with a spoon. Cover again with a plastic wrap and a towel and wait for two more hours. Preheat oven to 230 C. Warm a cake pan (iron pot, sais the original receipe, but i do not have one) in the preheated oven. Take the pan for the oven (carefully, hot). Throw some flour on bottom of the pan and flip the dough into the warm pot. Bake in oven with the lid on for 30 minutes. Then remove the lid and bake for 15 minutes more. The original recipe is here and there is also a video. The best bread ever.

i have also experimented to replace 50 ml water with oil and resulting bread was equally so good.

very good as a snack. also very good with cheese for breakfast.

  1. MMH! That sounds so good! I will try this the next day, i think. I have never made Bread before... Wish me luck!

    One Question: what sort of lid did you use? The cake pans normally have no lid...

    And your pics are so yummy!

  3. I have tried it some days ago. But i have to do it once again.

    The crust was not thick enough, the bread inside more like a chiabatta and i haven't taken enough salt.

    We have only a silly oven, where you can not cotroll the heat correctly.. Thats sometimes very annoying... :-)

    But i wil try again, and again!!
