Descriere

Contributor(s):Author: Steve Gamelin Author: Taylor Olson This is the ideal bread cookbook for the newbie... the first timer... the future baker... because I will show you how to make bread in a glass bowl with a spoon... without dusting the counter with flour or touching the dough with your hands. It's called the "hands-free technique." It uses the principles of a bread machine... without the bread machine. There are three basic methods for making bread... -Knead by hand... the most common method. -Bread machine... very popular, but your loaf will have a silly little paddle in the bottom. -No-knead... a method in which Mother Nature does the kneading for you. This cookbook uses the "no-knead" method. The advantages are... -No kneading... Mother Nature does the kneading for you. -No yeast proofing... instant yeast doesn't require proofing. -No special equipment (no mixer, no bread machine)... entire process is done in a glass bowl with a spoon and spatula, and can be baked in a wide variety of baking vessels (bread pan, uncovered baker, skillet, preheated Dutch oven, etc.). -Only 4 ingredients (flour, salt, yeast and water)... to which other ingredients can be added to make a variety of specialty breads. There are two methods for making no-knead bread... -Traditional... proofs for 8 to 24 hours. -"Turbo..". ready to bake in 2-1/2 hours. This cookbook will start by teaching you how to make no-knead bread using the traditional method, then "Turbo" method, because the traditional method is more popular and a little easier.
