Inspired by my friend Denise Vivaldo, co-host of the podcast Women Beyond a Certain Age, in the mist of this involuntary confinement, I decided to tackle the one thing that I never managed to fully grasp in culinary school…the art of making bread!!
A few days ago, Mark Bittman of the NYT, featured a recipe by Jim Lahey of Sullivan Street Bakery in NYC for no-knead artisan bread. After watching the video, I thought: “I can do this!” (Although, between you and me, I really didn’t think I could.) But after being housebound for several days, I was willing to try anything to regain some sense of normalcy…if such a thing truly exists anymore. And, I just happen to have a ceramic bread baker that I purchased over 15 years ago, and have been desperately wanting to use.
The verdict…I am pleased enough that I will continue to work on nailing this technique!! The recipe is easy to follow, and you will not be disappointed with the result! You can’t mess this up—it is good the first time around!! And it will improve with practice…
