Profile picture for user breadbakingbassplayer

Hey All,

Just wanted to share with you my attempt at No Knead Bread from 4/25/10.  Enjoy!  The recipe will be posted below.

Tim

Ingredients:

1000g AP (Hecker’s)

800g Water

22g Kosher Salt

1/4 tsp Active Dry Yeast

1823g Total Dough

Instructions:

Night before baking

Freezing Bread

Toast

I am looking for information about how long one can store bread in the freezer without degradation or absorbing freezer odors. I am making some english muffins, scones and baguettes for a week long training session at our church. There will be about 30 people at the training session so I will need to stockpile to have enough. I have frozen bread before by wrapping in plastic wrap and then putting in a plastic bread bad from KA. If any one has any suggestions about wrapping bread prior to freezing, they would be appreciated.

Thanks

tastier, but still lazy, bread

Instead of waiting 30 minutes (or so) to put the dough in the fridge (http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/12571/lazy-bread-twenty) I put it in right away after mixing. Overnight not much happened and in the morning I took it out for a few more hours slow rising at room temperature. The taste is much better this way. Note: I don't shape the bread either (lazy me...).  The mix of flour: 1/4 is of a 'five grain' type, 3/4 is plain white.

This is the high extraction miche i made from Peter Reinhart's Whole grain breads.

For nearly a 100% wholewheat, it was surprisingly light. It benefited from a 3 days retardation in the dridge, talk about crazy schedule!

Hi Folks,

This is my first post... Here it goes!

I'll Have better quality images next time!  Sorry

I’ve been following all of your postings for about a month now and loved every bit of what I have read.  I too have the same passion, though I turned my obsession into a career.

My latest yeast born obsession was triggered by Bobby Flay's "Throw Down" with Wafels and Digges of Manhattan

My Too-Sour Sourdough

It ended up taking me a little longer than intended to get another loaf together, the starter has a life of its own, what can I say, and it absolutely refused to activate two weeks ago. I'm letting it sit a little longer before trying it. So last weekend I went back to the all white flour wild yeast starter, and baked this. All flour was KA bread flour.
