Crusty Bread (no knead)

Crusty (No Knead) Bread
3 cups unbleached all purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon yeast
1 1/2 cups water
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt and yeast.
Add water and mix until a shaggy mixture forms. Cover bowl with
plastic wrap and set aside for 12 - 18 hours. Overnight works
great. Heat oven to 450 degrees. When the oven has reached 450
degrees place a cast iron pot with a lid in the oven and heat
the pot for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, pour dough onto a heavily
floured surface and shape into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap
and let set while the pot is heating. Remove hot pot from the
oven and drop in the dough. Cover and return to oven for 30
minutes. After 30 minutes remove the lid and bake an additional
15 minutes. Remove bread from oven and place on a cooling rack
to cool.
You can add to this bread any combination of items to make it
more of a artisinal bread:
Cranberry almond Orange bread add ¾ cup dried cranberries, zest
from one orange and ½ cup of sliced slivered almonds.
Lemon Rosemary Gruyere Bread – zest from one lemon, some
rosemary to taste and a cup of shredded gruyere.
Make up your own combinations, it’s better that way.

store for and forgot. :D :D :D

It is Peggy ... LOL. I did finally get a fresh bottle of yeast
and my daughter and I put together two batches of this dough
this morning. Tomorrow morning we can bake them off. I did a
plain bread, and my daughter did a bread with some spinach and
herb blend from Tastefully simple in hers and a cup of Italian
Sharp and Cheddar Mix ... it should be yummy. Crossing my
fingers as this is our first venture into yeast ... but from the
reviews I read, you can't fail with this one. No kneading ...
just mix, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise, then
bake. I'll keep ya all posted.

Hmmm Janet, I have one it's not a Le Cruset like the writer of
the original recipe had, but mine is a coated cast iron dutch
oven from the Martha Stewart line, it was a gift, but they
aren't terribly expensive, if this works out well, I may buy a
2nd one so I can bake off two breads at once. I have a recipe
for olive oil pizza dough as well which doesn't require a cast
iron pan, just a stone for baking pizza, I have two of those as
well from pampered chef.
