No Knead Bread | Mark Bittman Recipe | The New York Times
Mark Bittman, a.k.a. The Minimalist, and Jim Lahey, the owner of Sullivan Street Bakery, share a recipe on how to make no-knead bread where the secret is ...
I've bought the book, this video left out ONE VERY IMPORTANT STEP! So after
you let the dough rise for 12~18 hours, and you fold into round ball and
cover with cloth, you MUST let it rise 2nd time (1~2 hours or until double
size bigger) before you put into oven.
+Byron MacGreggor I tried it both ways. Better & fluffier plus moister without I think. Plus it's less fussy, so why bother? BTW, I make mine with white whole wheat flour.
The iron pot very important, I've done twice in a stone pot which don't have cover, so I put a plate to cover it, the result came out a bit dry. I think the iron pot heavy cover can prevent water from evaporate and keep the moist in bread. I've bought a LODGE dutch oven but haven't tried yet. Hopefully I get bigger hole in the bread!
+Frank Lasson I bought the book (but in Chinese language), the original recipes very simple:1. High gluten flour (or all purposes flour) 400gm.2. Salt 8gm3. Instant Yeast 1gm4. Cold water (13~18c) 300gmHand flour (for u to put on cloth).

+Elwood Hurrin Even though I use a lot of flour, I buy my flour in 5# bags. It keeps it fresh and it doesn't compress. And I stir the top occasionally to keep it aerated. Steve
Looks so good! I believe if you use 2tbls yeast you might cut down on your
proofing time by many hours. I use Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day, and it
works every single time. Two hours later I can bake bread.
Thank you for all your great videos.
+Lili Tincher I have two methods, "traditional" (proof for 8 to 24 hours), and "Turbo" (ready to bake in 2-1/2 hours). This video uses the traditional method. Steve
+Petra Robinson I used to make a rosemary bread that I kneaded, but I converted it to no-knead also. I also have a quick bread... you may want to watch "Introduction to Quick Beer Bread (a.k.a.Beer Bread Dinner Rolls)". Steve
Hi Steve. It is me bothering you again. Sorry. I would like to make a
whole wheat/seed loaf in batches for a pan. Will i find a recipe for that
in your Intro to making No-Knead bread in batches?
Cookbook includes... Country White Bread (Batch Technique & Recipe in Detail), Country White (5 standard loaves), American Baguettes (16 baguettes), Rosemary Bread (16 demi loaves), Multigrain Country White (12 half loaves), Beer Bread (12 demi loaves), Honey Oatmeal (12 demi loaves), Honey Whole Wheat (6 oval loaves), Caraway Rye Bread (5 standard loaves), Mediterranean Olive (8 long loaves), Dinner Rolls (36 rolls), and Sandwich Rolls (8 large & 16 small rolls). So, there is a whole wheat and multigrain white, but not a multigrain wheat. Steve
Speedy No Knead Bread Revisited | Mark Bittman Recipe | The New York Times
Mark Bittman talks with breadmaster Jim Lahey about possible improvements to his celebrated no-knead recipe. Subscribe on YouTube: //bit.ly/U8Ys7n ...
The vinegar lowers the pH of the dough slightly, just enough to prevent the growth of unwanted microorganisms such as wild yeasts or bacteria when you introduce the warmer water. Baking yeast can tolerate the lower pH. Vinegar also speeds up gluten formation, and makes the dough rise higher and quicker because it's trapping the gas from the yeast sooner. The crust of your bread will be crumblier and will crack in that nice way that Jim Lahey mentions in the video.
Am I the only one who can't make Jim's no knead bread? My bread comes
out so hard that I could kill someone with it. And it's always flat. Is
there such a thing as overdoing things or is it just hopeless me?
+jw When I make it , it rises great, The bread looks great, smells great and the first day tastes pretty good, when it is completely cool, the crust still has a crunch but if you have false teeth forget it , it gets very chewy, I usually end up cutting the crust off because its to rubbery the second day, other than that its not bad, makes good toast.
jwIn the original video he states that that you need to let the bread rise for 12 to 18 hours but he forgets to mention that after you fold the bread you do need to let it rise for another two hours. The first time I attempted to make his bread I had the same results as yours but when I read the written instructions it included the two hour "second rise" and the bread came out perfect! I hope this helps!
+pollypicturesltd The yeast was brand new. Since I posted my comment I've successfully baked pretty good bread... twice. Can't figure out what was the reason I did not get a good one from the beginning.
How novel – – a troll on a YouTube thread. @jw, check your yeast-- it might be almost as old as the troll's tired comment. If you're using active dry yeast, try instant, bread machine yeast . Hope it works out for you.
Jenny love your videos... I made this bread just like u said but it's still
raw it's awesome on the outside but the inside is gummy... Please help
me...
+Evelyn Dejesus This is not the recipe for the crusty rolls. If you are referring to the bread in the dutch oven please go to that video and place a comment there or you can ask on my website (//www.jennycancook.com/recipes/faster-no-knead-bread/). When you do, please be clear - was it a tablespoon or teaspoon of salt? How long did you preheat the oven? What did you bake it in? Please take your time and answer all my questions and I will try to help. DO NOT REPLY HERE - IT'S THE WRONG RECIPE.
+Jenny Can Cook thanks for replying.... I used 3 cups of all purpose flour, 1/4 y fast acting yeast, 1 1/2 hot water, and 1 tbs salt. Preheated oven to 450 after dough was rested for 3 hrs. The dough raised beautifully but when I baked it for 30 minutes then for 15 minutes more. Omg my bread was so heavy and gooey...i don't know what I did wrong. Then I tried another on last night and it was a little bit better but still gooey... And the flour was soooooooo sticky... Please help... Thanks Jenny
+Evelyn Dejesus Please walk me through your steps. Give me the exact ingredients you used (type of flour & yeast) and your process - did you follow it exactly? And how long did you preheat the oven? With some more information, I might be able to help.
woow thank you. I never make bread because theK needing part. May I ask
what kind of flower are you using? and the yeast? what type of yeast? Thank
you I love this recipes.
Prolly the yeast the oven I preheated ...thank you Jenny i will try it again best believe it I Love bread lol ....I do appreciate your reply back darling ... Oh i Dnt give up that easy I am trying to upgrade my skills in baking so i do appreciate Ur reply thank you Jenny

Hi, I used dried yeast and thought it made a big difference...no bakers i
know worth their 'salt' would use anything but fresh yeast. In the UK you
can obtain it from supermarkets that bake the bread. One gives it free. I
am sure there is 'snobbery' involved i making bread but this is at the
heart of making good bread. Indeed i have just knocked up some dough! I
have made a video of my French wife making some 'sweet' bread which is
fantastic (the bread). I haven't finished editing the vid
Odlums are the main flour company in Ireland. And according to their bags
of flour one of them is called "Cream Plain Flour" so cream flour is just
plain flour basically. Could strong flour be another name for bread flour
do you know. I don't seem to be able to find bread flour in my local
supermarket (which is a big one) and some people say to me to make bread
with strong flour as opposed to plain flour. Thanks for your replies by the
way.
I'm rather surprised you measured your flour that way instead of the
accepted way among bakers (which is to scoop the flour into the cup and
then level off the cup with the back of a knife). You didn't weigh the
flour, either, as I saw you do in other vids on your site (which is an
acceptable alternative, and actually preferred by some people). For artisan
bread, does the amount of actual flour used not matter so much?
Thanks for sharing your expertise with us! I´ve been doind this recipe for
several times over this month. It´s unbelievable tasty! I just got a single
question if I may: Sometimes it comes a little bit raw in the middle. Is
that why I made the dough too big or because I just waited for the initial
18 hours, folded itst and putraight it in the oven? Should I made those
aditional steps in order to let it bake correctly?
@flyingcat99 This particular recipe and baking technique is intended to
replicate the kind of crusty artisan bread that a lot of people like and
can normally only find in good bakeries. The la cloche ceramic covered
baker helps a lot with this. For a soft crust focaccia or ciabatta, just do
a YouTube or Google search. There must be a billion other recipes better
suited to soft crust bread than this one.
I tried it and for some reason the dough after 18 hours was too sloppy and
very difficult to handle without putting it back into the bowl and adding
more flour to make it more pliable and less like pancake batter. I use
plain "cream" flour as Odlums calls it, do you know whats going wrong. I
use about 3.5 cups of flour to 1.5 cups of water, great videos by the way.
I am trying this for the 4th time today. So far the results have not been
good. I tried Fleischmann's Active Dry Yeast and White Lily AP flour, but
didn't get the rise. This time I am using King Arthur's AP flour and an
entire pack of the yeast and it is looking better. What brand of yeast and
flour do you use? I am determined to get this right!
How long do you wait to to cut your bread? If you cut the bread too soon
after coming out of the oven the bread will loose steam and dry out faster.
Keep your bread in a ziploc plastic bag. Also, remember that commercial
breads (Mrs. Bairds and the like) have preservatives and fats added to them
so they are able to stay soft for a longer time.
@thatbastardson Concerning rock hard bread.You probably shouldn't do this.
I buy day old hard bread at half price. I wet my hands with water pat the
bread all over to get the surface wet then heat it in the microwave on low
for about 2 minutes, let it sit in oven for another 5 minutes or so and
voila moist bread. OK someone tell me why not.
You can try lowering the temp 25 degrees or so and see if that helps. Some
people who have had this problem find it helps to raise the rack you're
baking on if there's room to do that. You might also try placing your
baking vessel directly on a cookie sheet to insulate the bottom a little.
(or some combination of the above).
I don't know what cream flour is or who Odlums is. What country do you live
in? In any case, a high quality unbleached, unbromated, "bread" flour works
best. Bread flour is a high protein four. Also, just make the dough stiffer
next time (add less water). Also visit breadtopia web site for tons more
info and help.
Unfortunatley my comments aren't appearing under the comment I reply to, I
don't know why. Its always happened to me! This is in relation to comments
I left on page 4 (I think) about my mixture being too sloppy to handle and
someone asked about what my protein level in the flour was (it's about
11.6g per 100g).
You make the best instructional videos! I am jealous of all your bread
baking gear(basket, cloche, dough wisk). I haven't been baking very long
and I am trying to acquire accesories - what do you think I should start
off buying? Have you tried this recipe with the dutch oven - do you know
how it compares?
The other thing that might be significant is I use a Pyrex bowl (high heat
resistant glass bowl) to cook the bread in as opposed to a cast iron pot.
I'm just replying to a comment I left a while ago about my mix being too
sloppy to handle even though I used more flour than everyone else.
Remember: Odlums!
will this method yield a thick crust? i find with my sourdough breads even
baked on a stone, the crust is never that thick or crackly. once the bread
cools, the crust always goes soft. maybe this is just because of the
limitations of using a home oven and not a professional steam oven...?
Questions: 1. Why it has to use a container with cover (most demos in
youtude are doing like this) for the first baking? can I just bake it as
normal bread (without any container)? 2. how can I make the skin is not
that hard, something like Italian bread such as focaccia and ciabatta?
I made this recipe today and everything seemed perfect except my bottom was
a bit burnt? I'd like to try again but would like to know if there is a way
of telling how long it should stay covered, and uncovered if I wanted to
maybe reduce the baking time to avoid the burned bottom?
It's funny. I have a website that goes by my Youtube name but they won't
let me type it in as one normally would presumably because they don't want
people promoting their sites here and surely they don't want you leaving
Youtube. Makes sense but kind of small thinking.
I'm not really a good one to ask. I've baked so many zillion loaves that I
just combine the flour and water until I get the consistency I want. Except
when I'm following someones recipe for the first time in which case I use a
gram scale and measure by weight exactly
No Knead Bread
This artisan bread is a low yeast, long rise type and the easiest loaf of bread you will ever make! //allrecipes.com.au/recipe/27371/no-knead-bread.aspx See ...
@caryl faye Zita, the idea of the casserole dish is that it keeps the steam
in, thus replicating the conditions inside a professional baker's oven.
It's specific to this recipe.
I use the artisan bread recipe and bake it in a 350 C (662 F) oven on top
of preheated bricks that have been warmed for 1 hour. During the preheat
phase, I also place a cast-iron skillet on the bottom rack of the oven.
While the bricks and skillet are being pre-heated, I let the dough rise for
an hour on top of parchment paper, and then place it on the pre-heated
bricks with a pizza peel. I immediately pour 500ml of boiling water into
the hot skillet on the bottom of the oven to create a lot of steam (always
wear oven mitts when pouring the boiling water into the skillet or you'll
get steam burned).....
I then wait 15 minutes and pull the parchment paper off from the bottom of
the semi-baked bread and let it bake for another 15 minutes.
Removing the parchment paper allows a better crust to form on the bottom of
the loaf.
When you put the dough on the parchment paper .. do you put flour on the
paper first.... then place the dough on top of it? I did this BUT the paper
stuck to the dough.
+Mez Zem i don't flour the parchment paper. the dough will stick to the parchment paper when you first put it in the dutch oven, but will release when you bake it. thx! eric.
i love your information videos. I've been making bread for years. each time
it come out differently. sp frpm 2 English golden retrievers to 3 american
labradors retrievers, thank you for all your time and effort to make these
vids. just perfect
I slide my dough into my pot but I have also try parchment paper. my bread
usually takes about 45 minutes and to brown the top it would take about 10
minutes. I'm not sure if my ovens temp is even hitting the temp it says.
+Keri Xianne hi Keri, many ovens are not calibrated well, so your oven may not be reaching the temperature . thx! eric.

I love your recipes. I have looked and looked for the rubber blade like
scraper you use in some of your videos. Can you tell me where to get one or
what it is called. I have searched and can not find it. Thank you for the
wonderful videos.
Hi there... Thanks for sharing.
We, here in Europe are not familiar with CUPS and OZ. :-/ Is it possible to
add the flour wight in grams and water in milliliter...? :-)
I'm asking because every online conversion site gives a different value,
which makes it a bit difficulty bake bread similarly to your lovely
bread... ;-)
im pretty sure you can. I dont use grams, but I have a measuring cup for liquids that has both cups and milliters I think. i think you can get them online:) I hope that helped

Hey, Steve. Since I'm using all-purpose flour, do I have to use more water,
yeast, and/or salt? Trying to use up all my flour before buying bread
flour. :-D
Hey Steve, Can I add vital wheat gluten to help with the rise? Im using
good quality wheat flour @1 cup per batch with bread flour. I really would
like to make whole wheat bread. Thanks for all your videos
+JD V You have two options... vital wheat gluten or longer 2nd proofing at a warmer temperature (78 to 85 degrees F). In both cases, wait for the dough to reach the brim of the pan. Steve
Hello Mr ,how can you mix salt with yeast without damaging the yeast?during
the second proofing do we put the dought in the same conditions as the
first time?during cooking do we turn on the oven on both side (upper and
lower )thank you
+TheTarek2013 (a) Salt regulates yeast... it a good thing. (b) Climates isn't as important for second proofing unless it's really cold. I put mine on top of the oven for second proofing. And (c) I only turn on the portion of the oven that I am using. Steve
Hey Steve, I have made all your recipes. My loaves are always short and
dense when I mix whole wheat with the bread flour. What can I do to make
them higher? Use more yeast??
+JD V Generally speaking, wheat four has less gluten which make the loaf a little more dense, but you may get a better result with a higher quality whole wheat flour. Steve
