I did it. I finally made the no-knead bread I mention in my 101 goals. It is yummy, but husband thinks it is a little salty. My bread is a bit denser than the loaves described in the NY Times article, but I believe our cooler than normal house is the culprit. That being said, it was easy and I’ll likely try again in a week or two. I have lots of flour and yeast to use up.
Regarding Dutch ovens, I asked a few friends if they had one and they didn’t. I was trying to not add to the mess that is my kitchen and futher complicate my lack of storage. I broke down yesterday and bought a 5 quart cast iron Dutch oven. While the recipe calls for a 6 quart, I’m sure I’ll be well served by the one I got.
Off to figure out what else I can make using the new (really heavy) Dutch oven…
Oh. And for the record, I’m roasting another chicken. No pics of this one in the raw state, but I do plan to photograph the finished chook. I didn’t fancy it up this time with veg. It went into the pan solo, albeit stuffed with sweet onion and seasoned with ground sage, salt, & pepper.
