No Knead 10 Grain Bread Recipes

NO-KNEAD BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine flour, yeast and salt. Add 1 1/2 cups/345 grams water and stir until blended; dough will be shaggy and sticky. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough rest at least 12 hours, preferably about 18, at warm room temperature, about 70 degrees.
• Dough is ready when its surface is dotted with bubbles. Lightly flour a work surface and place dough on it; sprinkle it with a little more flour and fold it over on itself once or twice. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rest about 15 minutes.
• Using just enough flour to keep dough from sticking to work surface or to your fingers, gently and quickly shape dough into a ball. Generously coat a cotton towel (not terry cloth) with flour, wheat bran or cornmeal; put dough seam side down on towel and dust with more flour, bran or cornmeal. Cover with another cotton towel and let rise for about 2 hours. When it is ready, dough will be more than double in size and will not readily spring back when poked with a finger.
• At least a half-hour before dough is ready, heat oven to 450 degrees. Put a 6- to 8-quart heavy covered pot (cast iron, enamel, Pyrex or ceramic) in oven as it heats. When dough is ready, carefully remove pot from oven. Slide your hand under towel and turn dough over into pot, seam side up; it may look like a mess, but that is OK. Shake pan once or twice if dough is unevenly distributed; it will straighten out as it bakes. Cover with lid and bake 30 minutes, then remove lid and bake another 15 to 30 minutes, until loaf is beautifully browned. Cool on a rack.

10 GRAIN BREAD

Steps:

• Mix together the cereal and first amount of water in a saucepan and cook for about 10 minutes to soften the cereal.
• If you want you can set it aside to cool or mix together with cool water and ice cubes to cool it faster.
• Put all ingredients into a KitchenAid mixer. Mix together using the dough hook, once everything is mixed together knead for 2 minutes.
• Place dough in a greased bowl and let sit for 1 hour or until doubled in size. I have also rushed this recipe and let it sit for as little as 15 minutes.
• Punch down and divide into 4 equal pieces. I use a scale to ensure they are the same size. Shape dough and place into greased bread pans.
• Let rise for 1 hour or until double in size.
• Bake at 400 F for 15 minutes or until golden brown and the sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
• Remove from pans and cool on wire racks.
