My Bread, can be yours too!
This weekend I brought home a new book titled; My Bread, the revolutionary no work, no knead method, by Jim Lahey.
I have been searching in vain for the perfect bread recipe since I moved back to the States in 1989 with my German husband. My husband loves America but hasn’t been too thrilled with the “wonder” breads of my homeland. I have tried countless recipes and bread machines without the desired results until I tried the Jim Lahey no work, no knead method. It worked like a dream on the very first attempt. The bread is just like a typical German “Bauern Brot “and it is so simple, anyone can do it. There truly is no work to Jim’s method. I tried some of the pizza recipes and they too were terrific. I wish I could keep the book for another 2 weeks but it is on hold for another patron. I will have to share it. You should get on the hold list too if you are a seeker of the perfect European breads with a crust to die for.
All my life my efforts at making bread or rolls have yielded bricks and/or hockey pucks. I am definitely yeast challeged. If you can spend twenty years searching for this recipe, the least I can do is try one more time. I’ve put the book on hold and will owe you a lot of “dough” if my attempt is “perfect European bread with a crust to die for”!
