It's cool, looks very simple. He says your intelligent eight-year-old
could do it. No kneading - you let time do all the work - a long slow rise (14-20 hours). And to get a great crust, you bake the bread in a preheated, lidded pot, like cast iron, Le Creuset, pottery or Pyrex. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/08/di...agewanted=all# Recipe he http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/08/dining/081mrex.html I'm not going to reprint it for fear of the Times getting after me. But it's a very wet dough (1 5/8 cup water to 3 cups flour), uses very little yeast (1/4 tsp of instant yeast - probably a little more if using active dry). I have not tried it. The article makes it sound super easy. I think I'm going to make the bread with my little boys. They like to bake and they will be able to measure and stir. No big deal... Leila |
