Mark Bittman updates the no-knead bread recipe to make it faster, healthier. For the four of you that don't read Lifehacker or Mark Bittman's pieces in the New York Times, but who love baking bread. Bittman's updated version of Jim Lahey’s recipe does not require remembering to start mixing ingredients last night if you want bread for dinner today. Bittman also includes a whole-grain recipe as well. It's been posted earlier, I believe, but I'll remind anyone who missed it that Cook's Illustrated worked on the Leahy recipe to improve its flavor. They also came up with a neat technique of using a parchment paper sling to handle the loaf. I would have thought their recipe was behind their subscription firewall, but it looks like they made it openly available.

No Need To Knead Needlessly

The Secret To Great Bread, according to Jim Lahey of the Sullivan Street Bakery, is time. If you have 20 hours to spare, you can make a spectacular, no-knead loaf with the simplest of ingredients. Here's his recipe, and here's another. Of course, there are those who would decry the Staff of Life anyway you slice it, but even they can enjoy some hot gluten on yeast bread porn. via the monkies
