I haven't managed to get the oven door fixed yet but the repair guy comes tomorrow. So I'll be ready for him with some dough. It was so cozy today with all the snow outside so I decided to pick the beginner loaf that would require two days anyhow. I really wanted to make some progress today.
I figure a no knead bread is a good starting place since it removes one of the things you can get wrong! Apparently Mark Bittman of the NYT got inundated after he published an article about this bread. Then it also got reprinted in a step by step version by Woman's Day . Gets raves but also apparently can be screwed up.
I was surprised how little yeast is in it. Only 1/4 tsp. I guess that's because it works overnight. So I mixed the ingredients together and what was supposed to be a sticky dough was not. I'm just using basic all purpose flour. So I added some more water. Hope it wasn't too much?
Now I leave it on the counter for 18 hours and see what happens.
