2B ♦ WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2007 No-knead bread - a new way for bread bakers Special to the Journal With cool weather coming, bread baking has a renewed appeal, and your family will love you for it. This recipe for a 1-1/2 pound loaf originated in New York City’s Sullivan Street Bakery, which posted it on the internet. Bread bakers will note that it has three differenc es from most breads: no kneading, a longer rising time, and cooking in a cov ered pot. According to cooks at Fleischmann’s yeast, “Extended fermentation creates a tangier bread, like a mild sourdough. It is baked in a covered (and pre heated) pot to trap steam and has a hard and crackly artisan crust.” Cooks from centuries past knew that a little yeast will go a long way if you have the patience to wait. This one requires two hours of rising, so plan is for a lei surely day. 3 cups all-purpose or bread flour, more for dust ing 1/4 teaspoon Fleischmann’s rapid rise yeast 1-1/4 teaspoons salt cornmeal or wheat bran as needed In a large bowl combine flour, yeast and salt. Add 1- 5/8 cups water, and stir until blended; dough will be shaggy and sticky. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Special to the Journal Olive Tapenade.

Using just enough flour to keep dough from sticking to work surface or to your fingers, gently and quickly shape dough into a ball. Generously coat a cot ton towel (not terry cloth) with flour, wheat bran or commeal; put dough seam side down on towel and dust with more flour, bran or commeal.

At least a half-hour before dough is ready, heat oven to 450 degrees. Put a 6- to 8-quart heavy covered pot (cast iron, enamel, Pyrex or ceramic) in oven as it heats. When dough is ready, care fully remove pot from oven. Slide your hand under towel and turn dough over into pot, seam side up; it may look like a mess, but that is okay.
