I love baking bread and this happens to be the first bread recipe I baked. I'm sure you would agree there is nothing better then bread right out of the oven with a perfect crust, topped with homemade butter. I first saw this recipe featured in the New York Times website. Jim Lahey of Sullivan Street Bakery shared his recipe on how to achieve artisan bread with his no knead method. This recipe is simple but it does require the dough to rest for at least 12 hours. I usually prepare the dough in the evening then let it rest overnight. The following morning I shape the dough and store it in the refrigerator. By evening the bread dough is ready to be baked just in time for dinner. With this recipe you can use other ingredients such as whole wheat flour, walnuts, olives or even sun dried tomatoes.Don't forget the butter! All you need is heavy cream, some salt and a large mason jar.

Ingredients
1 cup heavy cream (minimum)
Salt
Directions
1. Fill the jar with heavy cream about half way. Secure lid and shake for several minutes.
2. The heavy cream will become the texture of whip cream. Continue shaking until a ball begins to form and liquid separates.
3. Remove the liquid and squeeze out any remaining liquid from the butter ball.
4. Add salt to taste and refrigerate. Enjoy!
i'm so excited to try the bread recipe! i've made butter before just like how you explained here - DELICIOUS! there's nothing more simple and yummy than baked bread and butter. well, maybe baked bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar - but that's just me.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely love your photos! gorgeous!
Hi Becky thanks for stopping by. I love bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar too! Let me know how it goes when you try the recipe.
DeleteIt's that easy to make butter?! And I can make bread without a bread stone?! You're turning my world upside down, in the best way possible!
ReplyDeleteHi Megan! Yes it's that easy to make butter. I love that I don't need to use a stone for this bread so much easier. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI've just had an experiment with sourdough bread; it turned out pretty nice, though, not perfect. And since I have made a lot of sourdough starter (just to be on the safe side for the various mistakes and mishaps), I am really thinking about Tartine bread right now. It tempts me so much!
ReplyDeleteBut before that, I think I have to give a try to this no-knead bread. It looks fabulous!
Hi Migle! Yes try this bread I think you will love the results no starter or really much planning needed. I really love Tartine Bread cookbook. Their starter is made with whole wheat flour it takes about two weeks of feeding for it to be ready but the results are amazing! In the cookbook they have other great recipes you will enjoy as well.
DeleteThis is still my favourite recipe to date. I'm always blown away that I can make bread. Real bread. with no effort.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your photos, per usual
Yes I love this recipe its so simple and doesn't require you to tend to the dough every hour like bread doughs I've baked with starters.
DeleteWhat temperature and time for baking?
ReplyDeleteThe link above is to the NY Times article with step by step instructions and video how to bake the bread. It's 500 degrees in a dutch oven for 20 minutes with the lid and 20 minutes without the lid.
Deletewhat beautiful photos. the bread looks amazing too!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lindsey!
DeleteI have got to try this! I just tried making bread last night and it wasn't very successful but you make it look easy. Beautiful site!
ReplyDeleteHi Tiffany! Yes this bread recipe is super easy. You will love it!
DeleteI found the bread recipe in Food 52 and instantly knew that I had to give it a try. Nothing like fresh bread out of the oven, warm and crusty for dinner!
ReplyDeleteHi Kankana! This bread recipe has become really popular. You will love the results.
