No Knead Classic White Bread






After I decided the themes for this marathon,I wanted to share a classic white bread for the bread and buns theme.I never tried baking a loaf bread on my own.Long time back may be years ago once I tried in the bread maker and it took 3 hours to finish one loaf.After that I never made a loaf with that,packed the bread machine and kept it in storage.
I finished most of my yeast bread and bun recipe before the marathon starts.White bread was left and wanted to make the Tangzong method.One day tried and it came out good and couldn't control my eagerness how the bread turned out.As a result slice the bread when it was warm and made a mess.But the taste and texture was very nice,made sandwich out it and finished in a day.
Second trial came out very well and waited till the bread was cool but my bad luck the weather was very bad and the clicks were shaky and blured.Finally left the idea of making loaf bread for this series.
One fine day when I was googling,found a you tube video of making no knead white bread loaf.The output of the bread and the texture tempted me.So that evening itself made the dough and kept it for over night raise.The next morning the dough rose well and made the loaf.For my surprise the bread came out very well and had it for our breakfast.
Since this is a no knead version and uses less amount of yeast,it needs to be proofed for at least 10-12 hours.Lets move on to the recipe....................................................





                                                                      
                                                                              No Knead Classic White Bread


                                                                  
   Basic Information

   Preparation time 15-20 minutes
   Proofing time 10-12 hours
   Cooking time 30-40 minutes
   Makes 1 loaf
    


   Ingredients


  
Ingredient
Quantity
Bread Flour
4 cups+2 tbs
for dusting
Instant yeast
1/2 tsp
Unsalted butter/oil
(room temperature)
3 tbs
Sugar
1 tbs
Salt
1 tsp
Tap cold water
2 cups
Milk /butter/oilfor brushing


   
    Method 
  • Take all bread flour,butter,instant yeast,salt and sugar in a bowl.Mix it well,to this add the tap cold water and knead it to a dough.If the dough is sticky that's fine no need to add flour.Cover it with a cling wrap and keep it undisturbed in a warm place for 10-12 hours or overnight.

  •  After 10-12 hours or overnight raise the dough would have doubled.Now on a floured surface knead the dough for 5 minutes and shape it to a rectangular log and keep it in a greased loaf pan.Cover the pan and keep it in a warm place for 1 hour.Before 10 minutes of the second rasie,pre-heat the oven for 375 F. 

  • Now brush the loaf with milk/butter/oil.Bake it for 35-40 minutes or a nice golden crust formed.Once its done remove it from the oven and let it sit for 2-3 minutes,now transfer it to a cooling rack and let it cool completely.

  • Slice it and serve it with spread of your choice.




    • Instead of bread flour,whole wheat flour or 2 cups of all purpose and 2 cups of wheat flour can also be used.
    • Here I used 81/2 x 41/2 loaf pan,but for this measurement 9 x 51/2 also works fine.



    Enjoy.................................................................................

    Sandwich Bread/White Bread/Classic White Bread


    Already I have shared a version of no knead white bread but this version I tried from King Arthur.As this version of white bread sounds so simple and easy I tried it.The output was a very nice and perfectly textured bread.This time I was extra careful and waited till the bread was completely cool down then sliced.I made the loaf in the evening time and wait till next morning to slice.Here I used the bread flour it can be substituted with all purpose flour or wheat flour.Try this simple and easy to make loaf bread and enjoy.






                                                                        
                                                                
                                                     Sandwich bread/White Bread/Classic White Bread


                                                                      
      
       Basic Information

       Preparation time 20-25 minutes
       Proofing time 2 hours
       Cooking time 30-35 minutes
       Makes one loaf
        


       Ingredients


      
    Ingredient
    Quantity
    Bread flour or
     All purpose flour
    3.5-4 cups+1 tbs
    for dusting
    Instant yeast
    2 tsp
    Unsalted butter/oil
    (room temperature)
    3 tbs
    Sugar
    2 tbs
    Salt
    1.25 tsp
    Luke warm milk 
    1/2 cup+2 tbs for
    brushing
    Water
    1/2 -2/3 cups

        Method 
    • Take all purpose flour,instant yeast,salt and sugar in a bowl.To this add the lukewarm milk and mix it to a slightly sticky dough. Now add the butter to the dough and incorporate well and knead to a soft dough.
    • On a floured surface knead the dough for at least 10 minutes till it becomes smooth and elastic.If you are using a stand mixer,put everything in the bowl knead in a low speed for 5-6 minutes.Cover it with a damp cloth and keep it in a warm place for raise for an hour.
    •  After 1-1.5 hours the dough would have doubled.Punch down the dough and knead for couple of minutes.Shape the dough to a log. 
    •  Transfer it to a slightly greased 8 1/2" X 4 1/2" loaf pan.Cover it loosely and keep it in a warm place for 30-40 minutes or till it raised to the rim of the pan.Before 10 minutes of the second raise, preheat the oven at 400 F.Brush the rolls with milk or heavy cream or butter.
    •  Bake it for 30 -35 minutes or till a nice golden crust formed.Remove it from the oven and cool it for 2-3 minutes.Remove the bread from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack.Slice it once the bread cool down completely with a serrated knife. 
    • Serve it jelly or jam or use it to make sandwich.



    • Instead of bread flour,whole wheat flour or 2 cups of all purpose and 2 cups of wheat flour can also be used.
    • Here I used 81/2 x 41/2 loaf pan,but for this measurement 9 x 51/2 also works fine.
    • Kneading is very important to get a nice textured bread,so knead it very well till the dough becomes stretchy.
    • Also dough needs to be sticky,if the dough is sticky do not add too much flour.
    • The sandwich picture was taken with one day older bread.
    • The amount of water given is approximate,it can be increased if it is needed to get a sticky dough.
    • Winter or dry weather conditions need more water.
    • First day the bread will be very soft.

    Enjoy.............
