Chuck Hughes' No Knead Bread
- 3 cups warm water (body temperature)
- 1 tablespoon dry active yeast
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 3 cups bread flour
- 2 1/2 - 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon steak spice (for savoury version)
- 1 tablespoon raw sugar (for sweet version)
- Mix together in a large bread-making bowl the water, yeast and sugar.
- Allow this mixture to bubble and foam, then add the oil and vinegar.
- Add the bread flour cup by cup, stirring well after each addition.
- Then add the salt and the whole wheat flour, cup by cup, stirring well after each addition. The dough will be a bit wet and spongy.
- Cover with a damp tea towel and let rise in a warm place for 30 to 40 minutes or until the dough has doubled in size.
- Using a big spoon, spoon the dough into 2 well-greased loaf pans. If necessary, press the sides down, helping to create the perfect loaf shape.
- With a knife, make 2 or 3 diagonal shallow incisions in the loaves.
- Sprinkle with either the steak spice or raw sugar, depending upon whether you want sweet or savoury.
- Bake the loaves about 50 minutes at 375 degrees F or until they are golden brown and crusty on top and sound hollow when tapped on the underside.
- Let cool at least 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
