NO-KNEAD COUNTRY BREAD
This delicious and gorgeous loaf is part recipe, part science experiment, and part fun family project when you're all stuck in the house together looking for things to do. Even though it takes many, many hours, the texture you get is just incredible. Spread with butter and jam, if desired.

Steps:
- Place white bread flour, whole wheat bread flour, and yeast into a large mixing bowl and stir with a wooden spoon. Pour in cold water and mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until a very wet, sticky dough comes together, about 3 minutes. Add the salt and mix another 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Cover with foil. Allow dough to rise at room temperature for 18 hours.
- Deflate the bubbly dough with a spatula by scraping down the sides of the bowl and folding the dough over itself, turning the bowl as you go around in a circular motion, about 12 times or so.
- Scrape the dough onto a very well-floured surface with a spatula. Sprinkle the surface of dough generously with flour. Generously flour hands and then roll and fold dough on the table until you've formed a round or oval loaf shape that has a smooth surface, 1 to 2 minutes. The dough is very sticky, so add more flour if you need. The shape doesn't really matter, but a smooth surface is the goal.
- Transfer to a Silpat®-lined baking sheet and let rise, uncovered, until doubled in size, about 2 hours. The dough will spread out more than rise up, but this is normal.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Make 1 shallow slash down the middle of the dough with a very sharp knife or razor, being careful not to deflate the dough too much; the slash is optional. Spray the surface of the loaf very lightly with plain water to help the crust form.
- Bake in the center of the preheated oven until nicely browned, about 30 minutes. Let cool on a rack before cutting.

Steps:
- Sift flour into a mixing bowl and place into a low oven to warm.
- Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water, then stir in remaining water, salt, and sugar.
- Remove flour from oven; take 2 cups of flour from the bowl and set aside.
- Make a well in the remaining flour and pour in the liquid; stir in a little of the flour until the liquid gets thick, then cover the bowl and leave in a warm place until the mixture is frothy, about 10 minutes.
- Stir the rest of the flour into the liquid, and add the butter/oil gradually, beating with a wooden spoon or mixing with your hands until smooth (about 10 minutes), or alternatively, use a dough hook/mixer for 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle a little flour onto a board, and turn the dough out; gradually mix in some of the flour you had set aside earlier.
- Only knead in enough to keep the dough from sticking; dough is ready when it is satiny, and the surface is slightly wrinkled; shape into a ball.
- Oil the dough, and place in bowl, making sure the top side is oiled completely; cover bowl with plastic and allow to rise in a warm place for 1-1 1/2 hours or until doubled in size.
- Punch down and make into 2 pieces; turn onto floured surface, and form each into a torpedo-shape.
- Grease baking sheet and sprinkle with semolina; place the dough well apart on the sheet and cut 4 diagonal slashes across the dough; cover with a cloth and allow to proof in a warm place until doubled again, about an hour.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Place a dish of boiling water on the bottom of the oven; spray bread lightly with a mister and bake in preheated oven for approx 35-40 minutes; after first 15 minutes, mist again with water, then again 10 minutes later.
- Cool on a rack when done.

HORIATIKO PSOMI: CRUSTY COUNTRY BREAD
In villages around Greece, this classic bread is still baked in outdoor wood-burning ovens. This bread is more dense than other types of bread (the loaf at right measures about 13 inches across and weighs a little more than 2 pounds) and can be made with a variety of flours or a combination of more than one. If you have your own sourdough starter, use 1/2 pound (slightly less than one cup for most starters) in place of the yeast in the recipe. I got this recipe on-line for the ZWT Greece from About.com.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water. Slowly add the 1/2 cup of flour and mix until all lumps of flour have dissolved, to form a thick liquid. Allow to rise about 15-20 minutes.
- Sift the remaining flour with the salt, put in a large mixing bowl, and make a well in the center. Add oil, honey, milk, yeast mixture (or sourdough starter), and 2 cups of the water in the well. Pulling in the flour slowly, mix with hands until it's a cohesive mass. (If more water is needed, add in small amounts from the remaining 1/2 cup.) Turn out onto a floured surface and continue kneading until the dough is nice and smooth and no longer sticks to the hands.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled mixing bowl and roll until all sides of the dough are lightly oiled. Cover the bowl with 3 dishtowels: one dry, one dampened with warm water (wet towel and wring out), and the other dry. Place in a warm place and allow to rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Punch down and knead for 5-6 minutes on a floured surface. Divide the dough into the number of loaves you want to make (this works well in 3-4 loaves), and form into round or oblong or baguette shaped loaves. Place several inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets and cover with 3 clean dishtowels (the middle one damp). In a warm place, allow the loaves to rise for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 450F (220C).
- For a thicker crust, score the tops of the loaves in 3 or 4 places (see photo). Otherwise, bake as is on the rack just below the middle of the oven for 30-35 minutes until browned. When tapped on the bottom, bread will sound hollow.
- When the loaves are done, remove from oven and cool on racks.

- Easy Greek Olive Bread. This bread is the ultimate easy option for beginning bakers. You won’t have to do any kneading, and it requires only one rise instead of the usual two.
- Greek Feta Bread (Tiropsomo) This bread may look a little flat and thin at first glance. However, its delightful softness and tangy feta taste make up for its lack of thickness.
- Lagana Flatbread. In Greece, people serve Lagana flatbread only once a year at the beginning of lent, but it tastes so incredible that you’ll want to make it all the time.
- Greek Easter Bread. Greek Easter bread, also called Tsoureki bread, is another popular holiday bread option in Greece. It’s a lot like brioche bread in taste and texture, but the whole boiled eggs are different.
- Greek Village Bread. Village bread is one of the many rustic bread varieties you’ll encounter when checking out Greek bread recipes. It’s a dense, yeasty bread that tastes a lot like sourdough.
- Ladenia. Ladenia is a spectacular Greek bread that looks more like pizza or some kind of delicious tart than it does bread. Even so, it is bread and amazing bread at that.
- Greek Pita Bread. This soft, fresh pita bread is a genuine delight for the senses. It tastes great, smells incredible, and has a wonderful texture that lends itself nicely to every use.
- Greek Bread With Oregano and Olive Oil. This dark brown Greek bread is peppered with patches of black, leading some people to believe it’s burnt. In reality, that’s precisely how it should look.
- Psomi Spitiko. Psomi spitiko literally means “homemade bread” in English, so while the name may sound elaborate and glamorous, it isn’t. Neither is this bread.
- Feta Bread Rolls (Tiropsoma) These no-knead rolls are crusty, feta-packed, and overflowing with flavor. They’ll have an almost unbelievable preparation time of just 5 minutes, and you’ll bake them for about 30.
