NY No Knead Bread

NY No Knead Bread

This comes highly recommended by a good friend in Phuket. This is a no knead bread but this does take some time. You will need a pot with a lid that can go in your oven, a cast iron dutch oven would be perfect.

Cuisine American
Servings 1 loaf

Ingredients
  

  • 325 grams wheat flour, 3 1/4 cups
  • 125 grams rye flower, 1 1/4 cups, if no rye flour is available, then use 5 cups of wheat flour
  • 1 1/3 cup luke warm water, 320 ml for metric measuring cup
  • 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • This is the wheat flour used, this is an import from Australia.
  • This is the rye flour used, this is also an import from Australia.
  • Put the water in a large mixing bowl, add yeast, salt, and sugar and let it dissolve. Then add the flour and stir until no dry flour is left. Cover the bowl with clear kitchen wrap and let it rest for 16-22 hours (now the yeast does its job).
  • Now you either can gently stir the dough one more time or plop it onto a smooth, well floured surface ( what I did) fold top to the middle, bottom to the middle then left to the middle and right to the middle cover it up with a clean kitchen towel for about an hour. (Even if you stir it one more time, still cover the bowl to let it rest.)
  • While the dough is resting, preheat your oven to 250 C and also preheat the pot and lid in the oven at the same time.
  • When the dough has rested, take out the hot pot from the oven, then take your dough and gently rub flour or wheat bran onto it and plop it into the pot, cover, and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove the lid and reduce the temp to 220-230 and bake for another 30-40 minutes. Remove from oven, done, enjoy. This is the wheat/rye bread.
  • This is the wheat only flour.

Notes

The flour is available at Tops Central in Phuket for sure for about about 40 Baht/ for 450 to 500 grams, each package shown. There is also a bakery supply place in Rawai, Phuket (Schmidt Bakery Supply) as well in several cities across Thailand. The cost is a bit more at the bakery supply shop. Over, this is an economical loaf of bread that you made yourself and you know exactly what is in it.
