No Knead Bread...

   Over this weekend my cousin's fiance sent a recipe to my other cousin that lives overseas on facebook. When I saw this recipe I knew I had to try to make this NO knead Bread! This bread was so easy and simple but takes awhile for it rise!   Here is the recipe below! The only thing I did different was I added cornmeal along with the flour when letting it rise for 2hrs before it goes in the oven!  Thanks Sam for sharing this recipe!!!

3 cups all-purpose flour (384 grams)
¼ teaspoon rapid rise yeast (1.25 grams)
 1 tablespoon salt (15 grams)
1.5 cups warm/tepid water (355 milliliters)
Additional flour for dusting

Place flour, salt and yeast into a large bowl and mix briefly. Pour in water and mix until flour is incorporated. Dough will appear rough; do not over mix.

Cover bowl with plastic wrap and leave at room temperature for 18 – 22 hours. The dough will have risen and have visible bubbles on the surface when ready.

Dump onto a movable floured surface (disposable plastic cutting boards work well here, facilitating turning into the pot later). Let dough rest 15 minutes (optional), then with floured fingers or dough knife fold each of 2 sides half way over the top. Cover with lightly floured plastic wrap (or two floured dish towels, above and below, which stick to this wet dough). Let rise for 2 hours.

Turn on oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (232 Celsius) 30 minutes before bread is to be baked. Place a heavy pot (with lid), such as a large Le Crueset into the preheating oven for the 30 minutes.

When the dough has risen for 2 hours, remove the pot from the oven and dump bread into the dry pot, seam side down, shaking the pot to spread bread. Do not worry if it’s not even or symmetrical. Replace cover on the pot and return to oven.

Cook covered for 30 minutes; remove cover and bake and additional 15 minutes. The bread should become deeply browned. Flip the bread, which should come easily from the pot, onto a cooling rack.
