hot bread! hot bread!
if like me you stalk the baking blogs waiting to pounce on hapless delectable goodies–cakes, cookies, breads, mine mine mine!–then you’ve heard of this no-knead bread from Jim Lahey of Sullivan Street Bakery in New York City.
tiptup baked it, as did breadbasketcase , and i’m just your basic generic easy pushover.….so the detailed instructions here (plus video if you sign up for a free subscription) were so easy to follow; all you do need is plenty of patience (for the long slow rise). maybe a dab of supreme self-confidence? nerve? gall? too to overcome the self-doubt as you handle the sticky gooey dough. oh and also a heavy cast-iron pot with that tightly-fitting lid. definitely need that for the crunchy crust. oh and one last thing! a wedge of Brie cheese….

March 22nd, 2007 at 3:52 pm
hola hola Christine! i think i need to work on it though– the innards look really hole-y
you’ve convinced me to go and get Dorie Greenspan’s book, just for that cheesecake 
looks so tempting!!!

inday sha, sige that cumin gouda sounds so exotically yummm
i’ve got some really “fragrant” raclette, what’s the best way to have it ba? my kids get “upset” whenever i toast some 
inday…we miss you but sige lang take your time.

It looks great to me!
And yes, the book is totally worth it, bilhin mo na! :) So far everything I’ve made from there, and everything I’ve read about that’s been made from a recipe from there has received only high praise. :)

oohhh!! love that open crumb you got!! mine was too dense
I’d try it again but the gloppy dough….

tita stel, kulang na lang butter and i really want to jump at my screen and eat your bread! hay naku, weakness ko pa naman is bread.
i’ve seen this no-knead bread circulating around and since you said it’s really easy then i’ll take a stab at it this weekend.
kisses to the youngest son. spring break na ba? ours is very early. last week.

hELLO aTE sTEL,
Looks really good, sarap sarap…. namiss ko tuloy yung kinakainan namin sa tagaygay,a restaurant named bag of beans…. they serve a loaf of bread in a basket,mainit init pa, then spread butter, sobrang simple ng lasa pero so sarap.
have been working here in NZ sa starbucks, at masarap yan ipartner din sa long black….
gutom na ako ate stel…. sarap talaga nyan sa almusal…

March 23rd, 2007 at 11:48 pm
oui oui Christine i’m sold….
to be added to the list of must-haves…along with Rose Levy Beranbaum’s the bread bible. she says holes are good on this no-knead bread as well!
March 23rd, 2007 at 11:49 pm
tiptup….Rose suggests latex gloves for handling, and a tad less water! i was mulling using half wheat and half ap flour, and so relieved this is her suggestion too!
she has a lot of tips over there realbakingwithrose.com

anyway palpak yung next experiment ko, yung cake ni Ate Nigella nagmukhang crater ng moon samantalang sinunod ko talaga lahat tsk tsk tsk 
ehem kamusta na nga ba ang complexion natin mamasang heeheehee

tita stel — the jalapeno bread that is Alton Brown’s all-time favorite is really, really out-of-this-world delicious. unfortunately, it’s only available at this hole-in-the-wall barbeque place here in the south. i took one to tita celiaK to London as my hand-carry — grabe ang bango sa plane i almost couldn’t resist eating it. she said it was so delicious. pag-punta ko sa Boston i’ll definitely bring you a loaf.

i’m a bread girl meself, too. kahit saan isinawsawsaw ko the bread, lalu na sa kapeng barakong walang gatas pero nasobrahan ng asukal.
masharap din sigurong gawing oilve bread yan darling shtelly, chopped green and black olives. kaya lang baka di mataypan ng mga rambutantinis.

What a fabulous bread picture!!!
I have always wanted to try this no-knead bread! Not because I don’t like kneading (which I LOVE) but because it always seems to come out so wonderfully crusty and “hole-y” (a good thing!) :)

I used to wake up REALLY early in the morning just so I could buy bread (right out of the oven) in my nearby neighbourhood bakery (just 5 minutes walk). Until I learned how to make bread, that is.
