If you want to try your hands in bread making, nothing can be easier with the no-knead bread method. Artisan Bread in 5 minutes a Day that teaches you how to make the bread without kneading. This master dough recipe only needs 4 ingredients, as there is no kneading it is a great way for someone who want to try making bread.
According to the book, the dough can be stored in the fridge and use over 14 days. so you get freshly baked bread for a couple of weeks. I tried the Master Recipe Artisan Free Form Loaf. For the dry ingredient I used Artisan bread flour, active dry yeast and regular table salt. The dry ingredient and lukewarm water were mixed together, sit for around 30 minutes and stored in the fridge. Although the book said you are ready to bake after mixing the dough and let it sit in room temperature for a couple of hours. I let the dough sits for at least one day inside the fridge before baking.
On baking day, I took the dough out from the fridge, I stretch the dough to check that the dough is ready for baking. The dough should stretch to a thin pane that you can nearly see through without breaking, I cut out the dough and stored the unused dough back into the fridge, shaped the dough into a ball and let it sit at room temperature for 40 minutes, I put a small empty heat proof ceramic cup in the oven and set the my oven temperature to 350 degrees instead of 450 suggested by the book, When the oven is ready I pour some cold water into the ceramic cup to make some steam and put the dough in the oven immediately, closed the oven door and bake the bread for 35 minutes until the outside is brown. Be careful not to scald yourself with the steam. Once out of the oven, let the bread cool down before cutting. The bread shown above is baked from a dough that has been stored in fridge for three days. Check out this book “Artisian Bread in 5 Minutes a Day” if you are looking for a consistent easy to follow recipe. I will post my experience after I try out other bread recipes in the book.
For equipment I used a digital scale, measuring spoon and measuring cup and regular oven.
