Attention all people-who-would-really-love-to-make-bread-but-just-can’t-find-the-time: The New York Time’s Mark Bittman, AKA “The Minimalist” has figured out how to make no-knead bread even easier. Just add more yeast.
Bittman, who made no-knead bread inventor Jim Lahey a foodie household name when he first published his recipes two years ago, knows that Lahey himself wouldn’t approve. Lahey thinks bread is best fermented slowly with just a small amount of yeast. But while Bittman’s may not taste quite as good (which he freely admits), it only takes four and a half hours to rise. So basically you could mix the dough in the afternoon before a dinner party and have fresh hot bread to pass around the table with your beef tenderloin and roasted new potatoes.
All you need is a standard loaf pan. Check out the recipe here.
