Denali operated her own bread baking business for 10 years, and studied baguette making with Amy Sherber from NY. She has also taught bread baking, and recently taught a group of at-risk inner city young people how to bake.
Cover loosely & let work overnight (or 4 – 8 hours). Mixture should be risen and possibly bubbly. It may have risen & fallen and be sitting on top of a bed of liquid. If you wish & you’re able to, you can go on to the next step as soon as the poolish becomes bubbly, but it’s all right to let it work till it gets to the “sitting on liquid” stage.
Easy Yeast Bread Recipes
Cover & let work till risen (6-8 hours or over night). At this point the dough should be doubled in size and you should be able to see large bubbles just below the surface. You can bake the bread now, or delay baking by doing the following.
Sprinkle top & edges with 2 TBS flour & fold sides in to center all the around the bowl. Fold the dough over a few times.
(If you don’t have time to bake the bread at this point, you can repeat this (*) step. The flavor will develop further if you do, but will still be good if you don’t.
Homemade White Bread
Malcolm’s no knead recipe, as with Denali’s above, uses a poolish as the starter. A poolish (also known as a biga ) is the starter or pre-ferment that is made of flour, water and yeast. Malcolm makes his from 100 g flour, 1/4 tsp instant dry yeast, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and water to mix (enough water to make a slack dough, probably 150 ml). Then leaves it until it bubbles up, and refrigerates covered until needed.
Malcolm is holding back a piece of dough (50 grams) from his previous batch as his starter for the next one. So if you are just starting out, you will need to create your starter first. You can use Malcolm’s simple method or Denali’s above. In this recipe, Malcolm is using a starter PLUS 1 tsp instant yeast. If you’re having any problems with getting a good rise in your bread, this aught to take care of it.
All mixed together (hold back a little water) to produce a moist dough that pulls away from the walls of the bowl. Cover the dough with plastic wrap, and leave it in the refrigerator for 8-12 hours, then at room temperature for 8-12 hours or until it doubles in bulk.

Turn out and form the dough on a floured board, handling it gently so as not to degas. Reserve about 50 grams of the dough for a starter in the next batch. Put the baking pot in the oven and preheat the oven to 500. Bake the dough in the covered pot (I mostly use a clay baker, but any covered pot will work) at 500 for 30 minutes. Then uncovered for 8-10 minutes at 450. I often just remove the lid and leave the bread in the residual heat of the oven for the 8-10 minutes.
I usually mix 2/3 unbleached white flour with 1/3 something else: multigrain, or stone ground hard whole wheat, for example. If the proportion of whole wheat is higher, I might add 1 Tbs of vital wheat gluten.
Use inexpensive balsamic vinegar. White balsamic vinegar is also good. I just made a loaf with all white flour, white balsamic vinegar and mixed into the dough 1 Tbs of dried fines herbes, with excellent results.
Deep South Dish: Amish White Bread For The Kitchenaid
The starter really makes a difference, like a poolish or biga. I now reserve some dough from each batch, without worrying if it’s the same flour mix as the new batch. It keeps indefinitely tightly covered in the refrigerator.
Refrigerating the dough has the effects as described in BBA (Bread Bakers Apprentice), but also makes your baking schedule flexible, since it doesn’t seem to matter if the dough is refrigerated, say, 18 or 24 hours or even longer.
BTW, I was in a rented condo in Florida for two weeks, where I made terrific bread in a covered pyrex bowl, using King Arthur unbleached white and their white whole wheat flours, which they don’t market in Canada. Here I use excellent unbleached white and stone ground hard whole wheat that I buy from a bulk store, and Robin Hood MultiGrain. Robin Hood also has unbleached white and Nutriflour, which is unbleached white plus wheat bran. They’re all good.
Cream Cheese Dried Fruit Bread Recipe
Rick, from Oakville, Ontario, has had great success with this variation of the basic no knead method using a multi-grain cereal and a little milk…
“Here is the recipe and pics for the no knead loaf I did, using Red River Cereal to add some texture and flavour. I used unbleached flour in this bake to see what it would do for the colour. It adds a nice creamy tone to the bread. I added a little more yeast – probably 3/8 teaspoon in total. The milk softens the crust a little, it is still chewy just not as crisp. The milk can be left out and water substituted for a crispier crust.
For the rest I followed the usual no knead steps however I use an oiled bowl for the proof stage – never could understand why on earth the towel method was suggested.
Easy Dutch Oven No Knead Bread
18 hour ferment, 3 hour proof. 30 minutes at 450F in glazed clay casserole covered then 20 minutes uncovered, internal temperature 200F+.”
Mill the oats in a food chopper to a coarse consistency. Measure and top up to 1 cup with whole wheat flour.
This dough was slow to rise on the ferment; it did not show the population of large bubbles that you normally see with this style of bread. The final 4 hours of the ferment took place in the oven with the light on. The oven temperature with the light on is between 78F and 80F. Once the dough was in the oven more activity took place and it rose nicely.
No Yeast Bread Recipe (6 Ingredients)
I gave it 8 single alternating folds (fold, turn, fold, turn) prior to shaping, then proofed in a small oiled mixing bowl and again put it in the oven with light on. Very good rise in proofing stage. Proofed for 2 hours.
I dusted the top of the loaf with rolled oats and baked it at 450F in a glazed stoneware casserole – covered for 30 minutes and uncovered for 15 minutes – to an internal temperature of 200F.
The crust was softened with the addition of the milk (leave it out if you want a crispier crust) the crumb was typical of whole wheat breads with a range of small to medium holes and a flavourful firm crumb.
Bread Recipes With Yeast
Another Rick gem. Made with 20% dark rye and only a 12 hour initial ferment. You can see the nice rise and open crumb. Rick describes the taste as “very flavourful”.
This may address some questions about the necessity of proofing for the entire 18 hours as typically prescribed in the no knead recipe. While the longer proof is often desirable for full flavor development, it’s nice to know we can squeeze the total recipe time down if time is short and still achieve good results.
This is a yeasted bread. Next up for Rick is a sourdough version of the no knead recipe, his first attempt at sourdough baking. Perhaps he’ll keep us abreast of his baking adventures.
Best Whole Wheat Bread
SALT: Most of us are or should be aware about sodium consumption. This recipe calls for 2 teaspoons of salt. I have made this same loaf without salt and substituted 2 tablespoons of cider vinegar for 2 tablespoons of water to maintain a hydration of 75%. The cider vinegar boosts the overall flavour of the loaf and also adds a pleasant back taste to give the loaf personality.
FRENCH FOLD: I discovered this method on a baking blog. When the primary fermentation is complete turn the dough out on a floured board and gently stretch the dough into a loaf like shape. Place your hands under the dough at the mid point and lift. When the dough folds in on itself return to the board, stretch and repeat. I do this 5 or 6 times and then proof the loaf for 2 hours in a proofing bowl.
DRY CYCLE: Once the loaf is baked and the internal temperature has been reached, turn the oven off, prop the door open a few inches and leave the loaf in the oven, uncovered, for 15 minutes. This conditions the loaf and will help deliver a crusty loaf.

WEIGHING VS MEASURING: The debate surrounding dry measure versus weighing ingredients continues. I bought a digital scale from Eric last year and now find I can replicate recipes time after time without noticeable variations. I was not able to do this when I baked using volumetric measuring.
