The frugal gourmet

Bit, with this bread making method you do not have to knead the dough! You just mix the ingredients together, let it rise once, put the dough in the fridge where time does the job, and when you want to bake a loaf, you take some out, let it rise again and bake it, et voilà!
The bread is wonderful, and no work!

I had a health scare which requires me to eat a low to no fat diet, and there's very little wiggle room.

Luckily, we just picked up our third farm share, so Pete and I have been making really delicious pasta with greens.

On Tuesday, I made pasta with every green we got, including the beet tops.

I heated mild miso with a little organic chicken broth, garlic, ginger and the scallions we got from the farm.

When the pasta was al dente, I poured it over the greens in the colander to blanch the greens, and poured the sauce over the greens and the pasta.

We had grilled shrimp that night, but there were several portions left, and we've been eating really delicious pasta all week.

Ooohhhhh, Elle, could you share the recipe? Or tell me where to find it? Is it a KA recipe?

How big is the bin? I thought you were talking about a crock of sourdough starter--didn't realize it was a no-knead bread!

It is not a KA recipe, it is from a book called "Artisan bread in 5 minutes a day" and "Healthy bread in 5 minutes a day"... They sell the book cheaply at jessica's biscuit
http://www.ecookbooks.com
which is a wonderful cookbook site, with many thousands books available at unbelievable prices!
But I will post the master recipe when I have more time!
I used to have a bread machine, and this is by far better! The bins are sold by KA among others, and you choose a size that works for you. I make the master recipe, around 7 cups of flour, depending on what flour I use, it makes two large loaves or three medium ones, which works well for me!

Elle,

Thank you so much...

I have a bread maker, but it just feels like cheating to me.. But on the other hand, I don't have the hand and shoulder strength to kneed dough to the proper consistancy any more...

I'm so trying this tomorrow...

That sounds wonderful, Elle! I'd like to bake our own bread more often - the only thing that puts me off is the rising time etc... while it's not really that onerous, I often don't have a spare hour or two to do it, especially since I'm working full time at the moment.
