Easy No Knead Homemade Bread a La Jacques Pepin

配料

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon instant yeast

1 3/4 cup warm water

1 teaspoon honey

步骤

In a glass bowl add flour, salt, and yeast. Whisk together to combine.

Add honey to warm water and stir to dissolve. Add to the flour mixture, combining with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to proof for 2 hours in a warm spot in your kitchen.

After 2 hours, the dough will have doubled and have some bubbles on the top. Use a spoon to punch down the dough.

Oil bottom, top, and sides of a 4-quart oven proof pan with a lid. (or you can line it with a piece of parchment paper- which is what I did)

Add the dough to the pan. Cover and allow to proof for 3 more hours at room temperature (or overnight in the refrigerator).

Preheat oven to 425 F˚ degrees.

Bake for 30 minutes with the lid on. Remove the lid and bake for 30 minutes with the lid off.

备注

Notes: Chef let his rest in the pan for 30 minutes before cutting. I did not as I wanted a hot slice right out of the oven. Also, this dough does not rise a lot and perhaps is not as beautiful as those domed sourdough loaves we all have seen on social media- it’s more like a peasant bread but it is so very good.
