Default My first no knead bread attempt

This is my first attempt at the NYT no knead bread recipe. I started
yesterday at noon with the exact recipe. At 9 am this morning I started
the dough on it's 2nd rise. It looked precisely as it should according
to the article. I used two linen cloths, the bottom dusted with a
flour/cornmeal mix, then topped with the same mix and another towel, let
rise for 2 hours then baked. I don't have a dutch oven, or cast iron
pot or anything like that and I don't think my pyrex was large enough,
so I used a regular, cheap soup pot and lid. I wrapped the handles in
foil and followed the recipe. I just tasted it and it is wonderful!
It's moist and full of large, shiny holes and the crust is crispy,
wonderful. Here are some pics:

I need to buy more flour, but I'm anxious to try again. I'd like to see
it rise a bit more..it's a little shy of 3 inches high (don't have a
ruler to measure.

Wonderful first attempt!!

I'd suggest either a slightly smaller (diameter) pot, or scale the recipe
up a bit, for more heoght in the sam epot.

I have been using a crockpot liner I picked up at the thrift store for $3.

This is it, cut & Pasted from the website. The url is:
http://tinyurl.com/y5cg5h you'll have to sign in but they don't seem to
spam. There is also a video of the guy doing it which helps. Wish I
had watched it before I started! LOL!


Recipe: No-Knead Bread

Adapted from Jim Lahey, Sullivan Street Bakery
Time: About 1½ hours plus 14 to 20 hours’ rising

3 cups all-purpose or bread flour, more for dusting
1/4 teaspoon instant yeast
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
Cornmeal or wheat bran as needed.

1. 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. Let dough rest at least 12 hours, preferably about 18, at
warm room temperature, about 70 degrees.

2. Dough is ready when its surface is dotted with bubbles. Lightly flour
a work surface and place dough on it; sprinkle it with a little more
flour and fold it over on itself once or twice. Cover loosely with
plastic wrap and let rest about 15 minutes.

3. 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 cotton towel (not terry cloth) with flour, wheat bran
or cornmeal; put dough seam side down on towel and dust with more flour,
bran or cornmeal. Cover with another cotton towel and let rise for about
2 hours. When it is ready, dough will be more than double in size and
will not readily spring back when poked with a finger.

4. 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, carefully 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 O.K. Shake pan once
or twice if dough is unevenly distributed; it will straighten out as it
bakes. Cover with lid and bake 30 minutes, then remove lid and bake
another 15 to 30 minutes, until loaf is beautifully browned. Cool on a rack.

Yield: One 1½-pound loaf.

Thanks for your tips! I'll probably try my smaller pyrex next time. I
wasn't sure how much it would puff in the oven this time.

When you say Pyrex, you are talking glass, right? All my big pots have
plastic handles...

I put the pot in the oven when I turned it on...lid and all. I let it
heat for the entire 30 minutes. The guy in the video said the pot
should be "blazing" hot.

Thanks very much. I want to do it. I don't have such a round pot, but I have
a long pot with lid made of ceramic. I use it sometimes to make chicken.
It is like the one you can see in this link. Do you think it could work?

I really don't know...I'm so new at this! Maybe double the batch? or
make it more baguette shaped? I love that pot by the way!

That would work well, altho you will need to make it a different shape
to fit in

They're ok, but not a yeast bread, so it'll be missing the
complex flavors that come from long rises. Damper won't give
a texture anywhere near this bread. Nothing wrong with it,
just a different critter.

You really want a pan with some mass; a heavy one. It holds
the heat better and transmits it more effectively to the
dough without cooling as much as a thin one. That helps with
the rise.

That's why the baker suggests cast iron, pyrex, ceramic...

But this looked like a good first shot.

This will work. I have a ceramic terra cotta Romertopf pot
but have not used it for this bread. For this recipe, the
pot needs to be very hot before the bread goes inside. I
would be concerned that the pot wouldn't do very well with
cold dough dropped into it. I would be afraid it might
crack. Maybe if you wet it...

No. It was 'no knead bread'........ which is what damper is.

Default My first no knead bread attempt

Has anyone actually Pyrex to bake this with this high heat. (450 degrees) It
seems that the wet dough would crack the Pyrex.
I used a 2qt Crueset and it seems too small.

I found a site on the web that stated that the company that makes Pyrex has
changed the formulation. The old stuff was pretty safe when you put cold
into a hot Pyrex dish, but the new stuff is supposedly dangerous and may
shatter. I don't know any more about this, and I don't use Pyrex for bread
baking, but if you do, you should check it out.

I had a pyrex dish shatter from thermal shock once. It's \
definitely something to be aware of.

In this case though, cooking bread in it at 450 F won't
be a problem. They're designed for that temp and the
wet dough isn't a factor.

Yes, the pot is nice and the chicken which you cook there comes very tasty,
because the flavour stay inside.
BTW Thank you. I will try. If the bread will come out longer, I will it more
DDDDDDDD

Ohhhh! Bob! But dough is not so cold ! It is at room temperature, it doesn't
come out from fridge.
I hope it doesn't break and if it happens I will jump from the window for
desperation DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
But I Am courageous and I will try. I will start perhaps this evening, or
tomorrow. I will let you know.

We used to wrap the dough round a stick and cook it over a camp fire, when
we were at Scout Camp in England.

I'm not keen on soda bread, it gives me indigestion these days, but damper
no-knead bread is eminently suitable for entertaining, educating and
fuelling campers, especially young ones.
