This Week’s Recipe: No-Knead Crusty White Bread

Inspiration: Looking to up my bread game, as I’ve mastered my regular white loaf, I started perusing the King Arthur Baking Co. website. (BTW: This is not an advert; I just find their recipes easier to replicate than some other sites.) In any case, I ran across the No-Knead recipe, which apparently won their 2016 Recipe of the Year award. 

What I love about this recipe: After you make the dough and it goes through its first rise, you stick the dough into the refrigerator! Where you leave it for up to seven days – or – scoop out a chunk and bake yourself a loaf of fresh bread for dinner a couple of times during the week. 

However, the longer you leave it the funkier, light sourdoughy taste it gets! All without needing to invest time in creating a sourdough starter.

Okay, I know my loaves aren’t as pretty as they could be, scoring wise, as I’ve yet to invest in a lame (a razor used to score bread).

Christie: I can easily see Miss Marple or Tuppence whipping up this recipe. The smallish loaves are great when you are only baking for a couple of people or want to impress an unexpected supper guest.

Plus, the bread works really well for French Toast the next day!
