Easy No-Knead Bread: A Deliciously Simple French Delight!

Unleash the French Baker in You: No-Knead Bread!

Feeling the weight of kneading? Fret not, dear bakers! I’ve discovered a bread recipe without the elbow grease. Just mix, rest, and bake! Ah, the elegance of simplicity!

In France, bread is akin to breathing. Traditionally, it’s the seasoned bakers who carry the responsibility of crafting this precious staple. Embarking on the homemade bread journey can be, shall we say, a tad challenging – especially the hand kneading part. It’s like a bread-making gym session. So, what if you could skip that tiring step and still get a mouth-watering loaf? Enter Clémence Monier, a psychologist by profession, who designed just the recipe for you! Marvelous, isn’t it?

But wait – what about the yeast? In the world of homemade bread, your yeast choice is paramount! It’s the magical ingredient giving our dough its rise. Ms. Monier recommends fresh yeast for a light, airy crumb and soft texture. But, if you’re caught without it, dry yeast, wheat yeast, or spelt yeast will serve you just fine.

Ingredients:

Wheat and Cereals (For a soft flavor and bubbly texture):
– 300g of T80 wheat flour
– 200g of 5-cereal flour
– 10g of salt
– 20g of fresh yeast
– 400g of lukewarm water

Spelt (For a denser crumb with a hint of hazelnut):
– 400g of T65 spelt flour
– 100g of small spelt flour
– 10g of salt
– 20g of fresh yeast or 25g of spelt yeast (find it in organic stores)
– 400g of lukewarm water

Spelt and Rye (For a hearty, rustic taste):
– 400g of T65 spelt flour
– 100g of rye flour
– 10g of salt
– 20g of fresh yeast
– 400g of lukewarm water
