No-Knead Bread.
No-Knead Bread Recipe - NYT Cooking: 2015.
YIELD: One 680 Gram loaf.
3 cups all-purpose or bread flour, more for dusting
1/4 teaspoon instant yeast
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
Cornmeal or wheat bran as needed.
- In a large bowl combine flour, yeast and salt.
Add 1 5/8 - 1.5 cups 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 21C.
- 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 230C-260C.
Put a 6- to 8-Liters 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 O.K.
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.

Sourdough pain de campagne recipe by Carl Legge.
Sourdough pain de campagne recipe » Carl Legge:
recipes for the future
The recipe is made over 3 days and only needs a little time at each stage. It’s a very forgiving and flexible method. If you work weekdays, you could start on a Friday evening and have beautiful bread for Sunday lunchtime.
The 3-day method allows the dough to slowly develop good structure and flavour without being too sour.
I (mainly) use a small wholemeal rye starter. There’s a great post here from Weekend Bakers which shows you how easy it is to make. I find this uses less flour and it’s very responsive. If I screw it up, I can make another starter from scratch in a couple of days with no problems. To keep things simple, I use equal weight of flour and water when refreshing: so it’s a 100% starter.
You could replace the wholemeal rye flour with any wholemeal flour. I find the rye is very good as a starter and gives an excellent flavour to the finished bread.
I normally make 3kg of dough at a time for 4 loaves to make the most of a hot oven The recipe here makes about half that, for two loaves. Just scale up/down the ingredients pro rata if you need to. I use digital scales for accurate measuring, it really does make a difference.
Finally, the flour I mostly use is from Shipton Mill: their organic dark wholemeal rye and untreated organic white flour No. 4.
Sourdough pain de campagne recipe
Day 1, evening – Starter
Wholemeal rye starter 100g
Wholemeal rye flour 40g
Tepid water 60g
In a small bowl mix this all together and cover with a lid, cling film or a clean cloth. Leave in a warm place. The following morning, you should have a little bowl of bubbly flour.
Day 2, morning – Poolish
Big Starter from above 200g
Wholemeal rye flour 35g
Strong white flour 80g
Tepid water 185g
In a bowl of about 2-3 litre capacity, mix all the ingredients together. A Danish dough whisk is just perfect for this. A spoon or fork will also work… Cover the bowl and leave in a warm place until the evening. Ideally the poolish will have at least 6 hours to stand, more is not a problem. You should end up with a bigger bowl of gently bubbling flour.
Day 2, evening – Dough
Poolish from above 500g
Strong white flour 650g
Fine salt 15g
Water 300g
Total weight is 1465g-ish
In the early evening, add the other ingredients to the poolish in the bowl and mix well to form a ragged and sticky dough. Cover the bowl and leave in a warm place for about 1 hour.
Then fold the dough. The dough will be slighty more sticky than in this video. Just keep the surface and your hands well floured and you’ll be fine.
I fold 3 times in total at roughly 1 hour intervals. Pop the dough back in the bowl, cover and leave in a warm place after the first two folds.
After the third fold, pop the dough in the bowl, cover and put in the fridge overnight. Bakers call this ‘retarding the dough’. It allows the dough to slowly develop a good flavour. Different flavour giving compounds in the dough work best at these lower temperatures to make the rounded flavour of the sourdough.
Day 3, morning – bake
Take out dough and divide it into two. In a warm place, allow the dough to rest and warm up for about 30 minutes.
Shape the dough and prove 1-3 hours. See these videos for shaping ideas.
How to simply shape bread to make rolls, a batard, a boule or round loaf and a rectangular loaf.
Once you’ve shaped the dough, put it into a banneton or just onto some baking paper, cover and allow to prove for 1.5-3 hours. The dough should increase by 30-50% and still be springy to the touch.
While the dough proves, heat your oven to 240°C. I bake on a granite baking stone which gives a good bottom to the bread.
Once the dough is proved, slash the top of the dough to give it somewhere to expand through (and to look pretty). Then bake for 15 mins with a tray with some boiling water in it placed at bottom of the oven. The water will help give you a nice crisp crust.
Then remove the water tray and bake for another 30 minutes at 190-200°C for 30 mins.
Take the bread out and allow it to cool on a rack. Wait a while and listen to the crust crackle and ‘sing’. And enjoy.

Bread /Denmark/.
recipes for the future from HVERDAGSMAD.DK /Denmark/.
The bread is FANTASTIC! Crispy, crunchy crust.
I've tried to bake the bread, both in an iron pot and a roaster, and both work fine. Iron pot, a white crucible was somewhat discolored, so I stick to increased sow, which I put to soak in water while I start on the bread.
Well, that's my bread!
Ingredients:
625 grams of flour (10 dl)
5 cups water
2 tsp salt
yeast the size of a pea (Yes so little use)
Method
1) Stir yeast into water in a large bowl.
Salt and flour are added.
Stir the dough together quickly to all the flour is wet - it should not be kneaded!
Leave to rise for 12 hours.
2) Carefully pour the dough out onto a meldækket board and fold it together just 3 times.
Set again to rise - like a large meldækket cutting boards for 2 hours.
Turn on while the oven at 250 degrees, it should be quite hot. Also put the saucepan or frying sow in, it must also be hot.
3) When dough has finished turned it over in the hot roaster. Sprinkle any. with a little salt and rosemary, put the lid on and place it into the oven.
It will bake in about 25 minutes at 250 degrees with a lid
4) After 25 minutes you let it bake for 15 minutes at 230 degrees uncovered.
Let the bread cool for at least 2 hour before serving.

Coleslaw.
Sour cabbage Russian recipe (pickled or salted cabbage, Sauerkraut) Russian Food:
- In Russia and Ukraine, a salad of fresh shredded cabbage, mixed with carrots, apples, cranberries etc., is traditionally dressed with unrefined sunflower oil.
The cabbage can be marinated before with vinegar producing cabbage provençal (Russian: капуста провансаль, tr. kapusta provansal).
A similar salad is also made of sauerkraut.
- In the United Kingdom, coleslaw almost always contains carrot and onion in addition to cabbage, usually being made with mayonnaise, salad cream, or a mixture of the two.
Some variations include nuts such as walnuts and dried fruits such as sultanas or raisins.
- The term "coleslaw" arose in the 18th century as an anglicisation of the Dutch term "koolsla" ("kool" in Dutch sounds like "cole") meaning "cabbage salad"

Cauliflower, almond and turmeric soup.
I have not tasted yet!
- The 10 best soup recipes | Life and style | The Guardian: "
This is Leon's winter version of the great Spanish cold summer soup of almonds and garlic called ajo blanco.
The creaminess of the almonds is backed by that of the cauliflower when it has been softened and pureed.
This should have the consistency of satin.
Serves 4-5
1 large cauliflower (about 1.5kg)
50g butter
1 large onion, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tsp turmeric
½ tsp ground (or whole) fenugreek
½ tsp ground ginger
70g ground almonds
1 litre vegetable stock
600ml full-fat milk
To garnish
A small handful of whole almonds, skin on, slightly crushed
Lemon wedges
Salt and black pepper
1 Cut the cauliflower florets off the central trunk and very roughly chop them.
Quarter the trunk and slice that too.
2 Melt the butter in a pan, add the onion, garlic, turmeric, fenugreek, ground ginger and sliced cauliflower stalk, and cook until the onion begins to soften.
3 Stir in the ground almonds, making sure everything is well coated, then pour the stock on top.
4 Simmer for about 10 minutes, then add the cauliflower florets – the cauliflower may not all be covered at first but as it begins to cook, stir occasionally and it will all get there.
Simmer for a further 20-25 minutes, until all the cauliflower bits are very tender but not mushy – check that the stalks are soft, too.
5 Stir in the milk and blitz until completely smooth.
Top it off with some crushed whole (or flaked) almonds, and serve with a wedge of lemon on the side for a bit of last-minute freshness.

Sugar Bun.
I have not tasted yet!
We will need:
1 cup milk a little warmer than room temperature
2 teaspoons active dry yeast with a slide, or 20 grams of fresh
1 teaspoon sugar with a slide in the dough
100g melted butter + 50g for greasing baking after
1 egg medium or small
1 teaspoon salt
300-350 g flour
100 grams of vegetable oil
100g sugar for sprinkling (or 6 tablespoons)
Preparation.
1. Gently warm milk 30-40C (not hot!) Mixed with sugar and yeast. Let stand 10-15 minutes.
2. Stir in milk and yeast mixture with melted butter, egg and salt.
3. Pour the flour and knead the dough. Amount of flour, depending on its properties may vary slightly. The main thing is not to add too much of it - the dough should be soft and not clam hands on it.
4. Add to dough 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, it ceases to be sticky. Close by foil and provide hour and a half (minimum 1 hour).
5. Ready to roll out the dough floured table to a thickness of 5 mm.
6. Entire surface of the dough evenly and liberally lubricated with oil and sprinkle well with sugar.
7. Close range in roll and cut into pieces 4-5 cm in width
8. Each piece is cut into one or two times up to half the depth, slightly open and put on greased baking sheet.
9. Bake for 20-25 minutes in oven preheated to 180C.
10. Ready buns with melted butter to grease.
Notes.
1. Large amounts of sugar also reduces their lightness during baking. You can add sugar less choose what you like.
2. I baked 25 minutes, the crust in this case turned out crispy. If you like softer - bake for 20 minutes until light colored.
4. Another method of forming the buns. Divide dough into 10 equal pieces. Each flatten, spread butter and sugar, fold into roll. The resulting roll fold in half and cut into the knife with one hand close to the bend, stretch.
5. In addition to sugar buns can be sprinkled with poppy seeds, cinnamon or raisins.
Bon Appetit!
