..lay a little egg for me Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I'm sure Delia has a recipe for no-knead bread. I seem to remember it saying that it only works with wholemeal flour...something technical to do with the gluten I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I used to make the Doris Grant loaf which is a no-knead loaf, great when you're in a hurry but it was a bit crumbly if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 My first batch of dough is festering in the kitchen. I'll give an update later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyknickers Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 Oooh let me know. Been trying to get time to do mine but with kids being off its been manic. I think it looks like it is a bit like ciabatta (which I love). Cant wait to see - can we have photos too. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyknickers Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 How is it going? Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Rising and full of tiny popped bubble holes. Phase 2 due at 7.30 ish. **Update** It worked quite well, but if I'm honest, it is a tiny bit chewy. I used bread flour, and I think I probably put too much water in, as it looked too dry on the initial mix. I am having another bash. I have set some more dough to rise, this time with plain flour and less water., and I'm going to leave it for 18 hours. Watch this space.

fluffyknickers Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 It looks nice - maybe good for toast. Let us know how it goes with different flour. Your like a scientist! x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyknickers Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Just looking at the original link I posted and see she says strong or plain - I have never made bread with normal plain flour - would it be more cake/scone like?

Egluntyne Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Disastrous. The dough was like primeaval ooze spreading all over the able when I tipped it out. Might try again with the strong flour another time, and use less water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
