A Better Link for the Bread.

The Unusually Unusual Farmchick pointed out in the comments that my link to the No-knead Bread recipe in the last post is a bit hard to find. Thanks for noticing that! (She has a really cool blog, by the way.)

So, here's the link again: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/08/dining/081mrex.html?_r=1&oref=slogin. From this recipe link, you can also link to a video of Mark Bittman and the bread's original baker, Jim Lahey, demonstrating how to make the bread. It's fun to watch.

Everyone, and I do mean everyone, can make this bread. The hardest part is measuring out 3 cups of flour. Can you do that? I thought so!

And no, you don't need to go out and buy one of those lovely cast-iron pots. But it's a great excuse. And if you can find one at a really, really good deal like I did, how can you possibly resist?

Oh, and here's another link to the Not Martha blog, in which people make comments and give variations on the bread recipe. Also worth checking out.

Interesting... this is a similar concept to a book I recently bought entitled "Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day" by two Minnesotan authors..... the idea is that you make a very wet dough that gets an itial rise then storage in a covered container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. You just pinch off what you want to bake, let rise for about 40 minutes, then bake in a hot oven for about 30-40 minutes. The initial recipe involves nothing more than stirring together flour, salt, water and yeast. No kneading at all. I've made a number of variations on the initial recipe and all have turned out great.

I love being able to have hot fresh homemade bread at a moment's notice.

Yes, it is very similar. I just looked at that book yesterday at Barnes and Noble. Decided not to buy because the NY Times recipe is just so easy and I've found some variations online. Today we're trying our first loaf with whole wheat flour in place of 1 cup of the white.

These are actually very old-fashioned methods of breadmaking. Just "rediscovered" by modern bakers! The long ferment is good for us and makes the wheat more digestible, which is cool.

The 7 Areas for Reduction

Today I want to write just a snippet on each of the 7 areas where we're reducing our consumption. See the Riot for Austerity page to learn more. 1. Electricity. No major sacrifices. We're still watching TV a little and I'm online way too much trying to keep up with this group (my latest obsession), but we're now turning both off at the power strip when they're not in use, instead of just at night when we go to bed. Also, many more appliances are getting unplugged when not in use. 2. Heating and Cooking Energy. We are using the a/c today due to temps in the 90s and very high humidity. That is my general rule for a/c use and always has been-it has to be over 90 degrees F. and humid. Tonight when the predicted cold front passes through we'll turn it off for at least the next week of predicted 80s. 3. Gasoline. I'm biking the 2.5 miles to work every time I work, Monday, Wednesday, Friday. George is biking the 3 miles to the health club for his aerobic w...

America a Military Police State--Now Obvious to Minnesotans

From my friend Devin's blog, The Quince Urban Homestead . They and others in the Twin Cities are much more aware of what's going on down there than we are an hour north. News reports are incomplete and, of course, skewed to the "need for order" and fear tactics. Of course we don't want violence, but come on! Has it come to this? This could be my family! Or anyone's family, simply doing their thing...Read on...(emphases are mine) Some links first: Youtube Video Twin Cities Daily Planet news with photo Flickr photos Happenings at the RNC here in St.Paul Minnesota.
