Comments on: No knead bread 101: Michael Smith vs Olive & Gourmando baker home recipes http://athome.kimvallee.com/2007/04/1554/ Your guide to stylish living, everyday modern entertaining, and social media Sat, 21 Nov 2009 23:41:31 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Marinus http://athome.kimvallee.com/2007/04/1554/comment-page-1/#comment-15422 Marinus Wed, 27 May 2009 16:29:49 +0000 http://athome.kimvallee.com/?p=4279#comment-15422 I've been experimenting with this recipe and it really works very well, especially in a glass pyrex pot (use a bit of oil and course corn meal to prevent sticking) but since I'm a forgetful person we often ended up without bread, because I forgot to make dough the night before. So here is a quicker method: Use a little more lukewarm water (ratio 2 cups water to 3 cups wholewheat flour) and add half a squeezed lemon or lime to the water. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the flour (to jump start the yeast) and use more yeast, about 1.5 tea spoons. In this way the dough will be ready in about 3 hours. It requires only a little kneading, just a minute or two. After that, put it in your pot and let it sit in a warm place for another half hour. Bake as in the original recipe. You can add sunflower seeds, walnuts, even peanuts, but do so after the first rising, by kneading them into the dough. So, the differences for the quick version are: - add lemon juice - use 1.5 teaspoons of yeast - add 1 tablespoon of sugar Good luck!

Trial and error is the only way to go with recipes. Keep me posted of your results. Blanche: The amount of salt and yeast may need so fine tuning. Trial and error is the only way to go with recipes.

Would it be workable and as successful to scale the recipe up to make a larger bread? I will try it, but thought that I would ask you your opinion first. Thank you.
