SIMPLE CRUSTY BREAD



Simple Crusty Bread image

We thought we'd landed upon the simplest yeast bread recipe in 2007, when Mark Bittman wrote about the no-knead approach of Jim Lahey, owner of Sullivan Street Bakery. It quickly became (and remains) one of our most popular recipes because it made bakery-quality bread a real possibility for home cooks. But then we heard about Jeff Hertzberg, a physician from Minneapolis, who devised a streamlined technique for a crusty loaf of bread. Mix flour, salt, yeast and water. Let it sit a bit, refrigerate it, take some out and let it rise, then bake it. The crusty, full-flavored loaf that results may be the world's easiest yeast bread.

Categories     breads, side dish

Time 3h45m

Yield 4 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 tablespoons yeast
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
6 1/2 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour, more for dusting dough
Cornmeal

Steps:

  • In a large bowl or plastic container, mix yeast and salt into 3 cups lukewarm water (about 100 degrees). Stir in flour, mixing until there are no dry patches. Dough will be quite loose. Cover, but not with an airtight lid. Let dough rise at room temperature 2 hours (or up to 5 hours).
  • Bake at this point or refrigerate, covered, for as long as two weeks. When ready to bake, sprinkle a little flour on dough and cut off a grapefruit-size piece with serrated knife. Turn dough in hands to lightly stretch surface, creating a rounded top and a lumpy bottom. Put dough on pizza peel sprinkled with cornmeal; let rest 40 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough or refrigerate it.
  • Place broiler pan on bottom of oven. Place baking stone on middle rack and turn oven to 450 degrees; heat stone at that temperature for 20 minutes.
  • Dust dough with flour, slash top with serrated or very sharp knife three times. Slide onto stone. Pour one cup hot water into broiler pan and shut oven quickly to trap steam. Bake until well browned, about 30 minutes. Cool completely.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality, starchy potatoes. Russet potatoes are a good option.
  • Microwave the potatoes until they are very tender. This will help them to mash smoothly and will also help the bread to rise.
  • Make sure the butter and milk are melted and cooled slightly before adding them to the mashed potatoes. This will help to prevent the bread from becoming greasy.
  • Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the bread tough.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1 hour.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

This Mom's Crusty White Potato Bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. With its soft and fluffy interior and crispy crust, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a homemade bread recipe, give this one a try!
