What’s in the oven? Bread!
It’s been a long time since the Sloppy Dough Revolution, and although I’ve made my pizza crusts always using that recipe, I have never gotten around to the bread that brought this method to the public eye.
Today, however, two old friends are arriving from the United States, and what is more welcoming than the perfume of baking? And which of those perfumes is more seductive than bread? So, there’s a loaf of No-Knead bread nel forno and the perfume has filled the house and I at least feel very welcome and looking forward to lunch.
The original recipe published in the New York Times is here I didn’t follow that one, but more or less my pizza dough recipe less the oil and plus a ton of flour to keep it from sticking to the dutch oven. Photo to follow, I think.
Two days ago I made chicken liver spread which seems like a good way to munch on warm, crusty loaves. When it gets a bit stale, then we can have crostini to toast and spread.
this was a dough-serendipity moment! i was comtemplating making a homemade pizza crust tonight for our veggie pizze but didn’t feel like all the kneading (minor doggie accident at vet 2 days ago has left me feeling quite sore in the arms/hands), so this is just perfect!
thanks for the link!
Mmm…I hope when I come to visit there will be bread.
Maine lobster is also good on crusty bread, I heard!
Will you be guest-free and all out of bread by next weekend for the bookswap?
Hallo, just dropping in to say I finally scored some romanesco at the Jean-Talon Market today. I’d never seen it in grocery stores, so you can imagine my delight. I bought orechiette to go with it, and now I have to make sure I have anchovies.
Also brought back a dozen leeks. So I’m digging in your site for good supper ideas.
Yum! I’ll be right over!

Judith, did something eat your interwebs? You’re never quiet quite this long!
She’s running around having fun with her guests. Or at least she was last weekend. She’s forgotten all about us….
I never forget. I’m back from a trip with my guests, now returned to the US.
