No Rise Bread Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and yeast. Add the water and stir with a stiff rubber spatula until combined and there are no longer bits of flour, 20 to 30 seconds. (It will be very sticky.) Cover with plastic and let sit on the counter at room temperature overnight, 12 to 18 hours.
• Remove the plastic cover and smell the funky fermented aroma and appreciate the bubbles. Sprinkle one-third of the salami and chives over the top. Using a rubber spatula, fold the outside of the dough over the salami to cover. Repeat this process two more times until all of the salami and chives are folded in.
• Lay a piece of parchment paper on the counter and sprinkle with an even layer of flour to cover the surface (about 1/4 cup or so). Scrape the dough onto the floured parchment and use heavily-floured hands to shape it into a roundish blob. Press in any exposed salami bits and pinch the dough to seal. Sprinkle the top with another layer of flour and cover with a piece of plastic wrap. Let sit until the dough has risen by half, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Place an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
• Place a 3- or 4-quart lidded Dutch oven on the rack and allow to heat while the oven reaches the desired temperature.
• When the dough has proofed, carefully remove the Dutch oven from the oven and remove the lid. Uncover the plastic from the bread dough and gently lower the dough into the Dutch oven on the parchment. Cover the Dutch oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid, then bake until the top is golden brown and crusty, another 10 to 20 minutes.
• Let it cool on a rack for about an hour, then slice and serve with butter if desired. This is best on the first day, but it will freeze well wrapped tightly in plastic.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, yeast and salt. Now add the water, beer and vinegar. Fold batter using a rubber spatula. Scrape the dry ingredients from the bowl bottom and continue folding until a ragged ball of dough forms. Cover bowl with some plastic wrap. Allow to sit at room temperature for 8 to 18 hours.
• In a 10-inch skillet, place a 12 x 18 inch piece of parchment paper. Spray parchment paper with nonstick cooking spray. Take the bowl of dough and turn out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead dough 10 to 15 times. Pull edges of dough from edges into the center to form a ball of dough. Place the dough with the seam side down, into the parchment lined skillet. Spray dough with nonstick cooking spray. Cover the dough loosely with a piece of plastic wrap. Allow to rise at room temperature until the dough is doubled in size, about 2-hours. The dough should not easily spring back when poked.
• Place a 6 to 8 quart, heavy bottom, Dutch oven with lid, on lowest oven rack. Preheat the oven at 500°F for 1/2 hour. Lightly dust top of dough with flour and then make single 6-inch long, 1/2 inch deep cut on the top of the dough with a sharp knife or razor blade. Take preheated Dutch oven from from the 500°F oven and remove lid. Using edges of parchment paper, pick up dough from frying pan and place into Dutch oven. Allow extra parchment paper to hang out of Dutch oven and cover dough with lid. Return covered Dutch oven to oven and turn temperature down to 425°F Bake bread covered for 30-minutes. Remove lid and continue baking until bread is deep brown and an instant read thermometer, inserted in loaf center, reads 210°F This may take 20 to 30 minutes after removing cover. When done, remove bread from Dutch oven and cool on wire rack for 2 hours, until bread reaches room temperature.

Steps:

• Mix all dry ingredients together.
• Add water and stir in until a really sticky dough has formed.
• Cover with a cloth and leave in a warm place to rise.
• Punch down and divide dough into two balls.
• If you are using the cracked wheat, roll the dough balls in the cracked wheat now.
• Place into well greased pans and bake at 400F for 1 hour.
• Cook's note: No need for a second rising as the bread rises perfectly in the oven on baking.

Steps:

• In a bowl dissolve honey and molasses in warm water. Sprinkle on yeast and stir gently. Leave in a warm place until warm and frothy. (10-15 mins).
• In another bowl, combine flour and salt. Pour yeast mix and mix well, the mix should be fairly wet but not too sloppy.
• Oil two loaf tins and warm slightly. Half fill with dough. Leave in a warm place to rise to almost the top of the tin (don't let it rise up over the top or it will make the bread difficult to get out once cooked).Bake in a hot oven 425 degrees fahrenheit for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 390 degrees fahrenheit and cook for 35 minutes more.

Steps:

• In the bowl of a heavy-duty stand mixer put the yeast, sugar, and water and let it sit.
• Heat the oven to 450°F Put a Dutch oven (or one of these alternatives) in to warm as the oven heats. Get out your flour, salt, vinegar, spray oil, and anything else you need.
• Now that the yeast has had a few minutes to bubble up, add 3 cups of the flour as well as the salt and vinegar and beat for several minutes with the paddle. Add the last 1/2 cup of flour and switch to the dough hook and beat for seven minutes. Alternately, knead vigorously for five minutes, or until the dough becomes extremely elastic. This will still be a wet dough, but not goopy. The dough will clear the sides of the bowl but still stick to the bottom.
• Oil a microwave-safe bowl and transfer the bread dough to it, rolling it in the oil. Cover the bowl with a very wet towel. Cover the whole thing with a dry towel and put in the microwave for 25 seconds.
• Let rest in the microwave for about five minutes.
• Microwave for another 25 seconds, then remove.
• Let rest and rise for another 15 minutes.
• Shape into a ball and plop into the preheated pan. Quickly slash the top with a knife. Cover and bake for about 30 minutes, then remove the cover and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature hits 210.
• Remove from pan, let cool.

Steps:

• For the first stage:.
• Thoroughly combine the flours, sugar, salt and yeast in a 3-quart or larger bowl; mix with a large spoon.
• Add the butter or oil and water, stirring vigorously until well combined; the dough may be stiff.
• Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a greased flexible spatula.
• Drizzle the dough top with about a teaspoon of melted butter or oil; use a pastry brush or your fingertips to spread it evenly over the dough.
• Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and set aside at a room temperature of about 70 degrees or cooler for 12 to 18 hours.
• For the second stage:.
• Vigorously stir the dough until it deflates.
• Generously coat a 9-by-5-inch or similar large (1 3/4- to 2-quart) loaf pan with nonstick cooking oil spray.
• Turn out the dough into the pan.
• Drizzle the melted butter or vegetable oil over the loaf top, then spread it out with a pastry brush or your fingertips until the surface is evenly coated and looks smooth.
• Sift about 1/2 tablespoon flour evenly over the loaf top.
• Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap.
• For a "regular" rise:.
• Let stand at room temperature for 45 to 75 minutes or until the dough nearly reaches the pan rim.
• (The time will vary considerably depending on the temperature of the room and the length of the first rise.).
• Gently remove the plastic.
• Let it stand until the dough top rises 1/4 inch above the rim.
• For a "quick" rise:.
• Place a microwave-safe cup containing 1 cup of water in a rear corner of the microwave oven.
• Microwave for 2 minutes, until the water almost boils.
• Put the loaf in the microwave oven as far from the water as possible.
• Let it rise 30 to 50 minutes, or until the dough nears the pan rim.
• Gently remove the plastic.
• Continue the rise until the dough top is 1/4 inch above the rim.
• For baking:.
• Position an oven rack in the middle third of the oven; preheat to 425 degrees.
• Gently transfer the pan to the oven; jarring can cause deflating.
• Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until the loaf is well browned on top and sounds hollow when thumped with a finger.
• Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for several minutes, then run a knife around the loaf to loosen.
• Transfer the loaf to the rack and let it cool completely before cutting it or storing in an airtight container.
