Edible disaster
Well, I decided to bake a no-knead loaf the other day. I find my house is cool so I use a slightly heated oven as my place of choice to rise my bread. A few hours into the rise my son decided to preheat the oven to 300 to warm up some chicken. He yells out " hey. what's that smell in the oven?". Now my dough is smelling like bread and has a crusty top to it. I decide to see what happened if I kept on with making the loaf. So I took it out and on a floured board I pulled and folded a few times to get the crusty part inside. I then let this mess rise ( and it did) for another 12 hours. Into a 450 degree cast iron dutch oven and It ended up being not too bad a loaf. Made great sandwiches for work. I wouldn't have served it to company, but it really wasn't bad. I think this no-knead bread is pretty forgiving stuff.
