No-Knead Bread

[Monttexan]

The mix for tomorrow is Spelt flour with water - hopefully the wife likes it as well as my beer bread

How'd the spelt experiment work out? SWMBO has a mild wheat allergy....which means I don't eat much either. I DO like good spelt bread, but its expensive. We make it fairly often and have a good recipe that isn't crumbly like many spelt breads are. If we can cut down the amount of time it takes to make it, we'd have it more. This could be the ticket!

Spelt was OK, not crumbly and it's dense
- but I'll be honest I prefer the beer bread of all those I've tried so far.

Thanks for that last vid, a good explanation of the process.
I wont have to go through all that if my friend's batch does OK,
said he will give me some when he splits it again. Guess I need
to buy some whole wheat flour.

Recipe worked pretty well. Made two loaves. One I used beer as the liquid and the other I used hard cider for the liquid. Think the cider one was a bit better!!

Looks like I'm gonna have to be a yeast rancher if I wanna do this, friend's starter died.
Just hope it doesn't resemble a superfund site.

Did you remember to feed it?

[a.squibload]

I never got any.

Made my own last night, hope it starts, no bubbles yet.
Threw in a little pineapple juice, saw that in a video.

We've been making it regularly. SWMBO has been using beer with home ground spelt flour. Every loaf has been very good. The last loaf, which is about half gone now, she added a little bit of honey to and it is even better. Thanks to the OP for setting us on the path!

45Nut, I just tried your recipe and it turned out great. First bread I've made. Put it in a cast iron dutch oven to cook and tastes great. Thanks.

+1 on the no-knead bread, good and as easy as advertised!
