Crusty Bread. Jan. 1, 2015: Just released. Instructional video for the Crusty Bread recipe. Crusty Bread 3 cups unbleached all purpose flour 1 3/4 teaspoons Kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon Instant or Rapid-rise yeast 1 1/2 cups water In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt and yeast.
I must begin by saying where the recipe originated, if in fact it originated anywhere...really. Remember before beginning to create, that this bread is highly forgiving. You do NOT have to have an enamel covered cast iron pot. You DO NOT need to oil the pot. In a large mixing bowl add 3 cups white unbleached flour. To the flour add 1 3/4 teaspoon salt (I use kosher I like it) and 1/2 teaspoon rapid rise or instant yeast. Whisk the flour, salt and yeast together. Add 1 1/2 cups water. Mix in the water. That's it! Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it set for 12 - 18 hours on the counter top.
After 12 hours the dough will look like this. Meet my blue Le Creuset. Now, please disregard that this dough has stuff in it.
Have cake, will travel | I needed a big wood scoop for a job, so I ran to Etsy and into Kim Kelly’s Woodward Gardens Botanicals. I ended up purchasing far more spoons than one person needs. Hooray, self-control. But look at the curves! The different types of woods! Dear Santa: If there truly is such a thing as reincarnation, sign me up for a career as a skilled wood carver and/or ceramicist so that I can make pretty things like these and stare at them all day.
Cookies are in the mail. Thank you. PS: I am so sorry about the title. Have cake, will travel | Two posts in one day? It probably hasn’t happened since the first year I started blogging. Anyway, I had a little bit of fun after shooting some naturally-dyed sugar crystals and turning them into pretty sprinkles for a cool baker‘s upcoming book project. They remind me of the sparkly plastic toy jewelry I used to play with as a kid. Easier to chew on, too. The bunch of crystals on the first picture are shaped vaguely like Switzerland.

French Bread. Update 2/2013: This recipe has been on my blog, well, for as long as I’ve been blogging and that’s over five years! It is no exaggeration that this bread is made at least twice a month in my kitchen. It’s perfect to eat just by itself (warm out of the oven? Seriously, divine) or to use as garlic bread, french bread pizzas, dipping for fondue. I mean the possibilities are endless. Note: as with all yeast doughs, I never use the flour amount called for in the recipe as a hard fast rule (unless a weight measure is given and then I pull out my kitchen scale). Ingredients 2 1/4 cups warm water 2 tablespoons sugar 1 tablespoon instant or active dry yeast 1 tablespoon salt 2 tablespoons oil 5 1/2 - 6 cups flour (see note) Directions In a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the water sugar and yeast.
