At home I make a lot of the bread we eat, I use a very simple recipe and unbleached floor from Upper Canada Village. It turns out nicely, but I always make a mess in the kitchen and the clean up is as much work as making the bread.  Clearly a new method is called for.  In-Leng, a running friend from Ottawa recommended a no-knead approach and I have decided to give it a go.  I roughly based what I did on this recipe no-knead dutch oven bread<\/a>  The basic idea is that you mix up a sticky dough and let it rise for 8-18 hours, knock it back, proof for 30 minutes and then put it in to a preheated dutch oven\/large covered pan or casserole for 45 minutes covered and 15 with the lid off at 450F\/230C.<\/p>\n

To minimize the mess I used a plastic box to mix the dough and just put the cover on the box to let it raise and mature.<\/p>\n

 I  used a proofing basket to proof the dough and just tipped it into the pot.  This seemed to go badly, but the results where good.<\/p>\n

The bread turned out nicely, the bottom was a bit burnt as the pot was in direct contact with bottom of the oven, I have picked up a trivet to prevent this the next time. <\/p>\n

The crumb was great at the edges, but the centre was a little dense.  This was due to my lack of planning, I gave it 5 hours to raise, 8 or more will solve the problem.<\/p>\n

Overall, a great success, for our first attempt, we did not have much of a mess to clean up and a few tweaks will make this easy to do on-board, even at sea.<\/p>\n

My proportions were:<\/p>\n

600g white unbleached “Super Fine” from Upper Canada Village<\/p>\n

Large teaspoon Instant Yeast<\/p>\n

Teaspoon Salt<\/p>\n

 450-500ml warm water<\/p>\n

I will play with adding in wholewheat and granary floors and see how it works. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
