Chuck Hughes' No Knead Bread

Chuck Hughes' No Knead Bread


1. Mix together in a large bread-making bowl the water, yeast and sugar.

2. Allow this mixture to bubble and foam, then add the oil and vinegar.

3. Add the bread flour cup by cup, stirring well after each addition.

4. Then add the salt and the whole wheat flour, cup by cup, stirring well after each addition. The dough will be a bit wet and spongy.

5. Cover with a damp tea towel and let rise in a warm place for 30 to 40 minutes or until the dough has doubled in size.

6. Using a big spoon, spoon the dough into 2 well-greased loaf pans. If necessary, press the sides down, helping to create the perfect loaf shape.

7. With a knife, make 2 or 3 diagonal shallow incisions in the loaves.

8. Sprinkle with either the steak spice or raw sugar, depending upon whether you want sweet or savoury.

9. Bake the loaves about 50 minutes at 375 degrees F or until they are golden brown and crusty on top and sound hollow when tapped on the underside.

10. Let cool at least 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
