Bread

No knead bread has been taking the internet by storm over the last month or so. A guy from a New York bakery gave a reporter his recipe for a bread that amazingly does not have to be kneaded. Instead the dough has a really long rise (between 18 and 24 hours). The recipe and technique have been so popular that heaps of food blogs and forums have featured it. We're now onto our fourth of fifth loaf and it's terrific, especially as we don't have our Kitchen Aid mixer here in London. It makes a loaf with a chewy, golden crust with a crumb with lots of air holes. It's the sort of thing you'd pay lots for at a fancy bakery. You can definitely see why it has been so popular.
