Kneadlessly Simple - bread book by Nancy Baggett

[breadmama]

Anyone have any experience with this method of bread baking? My search turned up nothing...


...but I'm about to bake my first loaves (splitting the recipe into two boules) now.

I am interested in others' experiences.

Thanks!

P.S. I love the author's name as a bread baker...ha

This sounds similar to "Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day." Which is wonderful.

I've got a recipe from each book going now - wanted to compare. The Kneadlessly Simple one needs to be baked within ~24 hours of making the dough - and has a long room-temp rise (with many variations for convenience). The 5 Minutes a day recipe can be stored in the fridge for several days before baking.

So, I am also trying out the baking in the Dutch oven method - the KS recipe calls this a pot bread - and I've split it into two boules, and am using two separate 3-4 qt. ovensafe pots with lids.

Lots of variables - but I think it will produce great bread...I hope!

I've made a few recipes from a free booklet I got and just got the full book from the library last night.

It doesn't give me the satisfaction of baking bread the normal way, but is nice when I just need to get some bread on the table.

The recipes I made (at least in the booklet) are more sandwich bread rather than artisan bread.

I'm just wondering...
