Almost No-Knead Bread

Makes 1 large round loaf. Published January 1, 2008. From Cook’s Illustrated.

An enameled cast-iron Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid yields best results, but the recipe also works in a regular cast-iron Dutch oven or heavy stockpot. (See the related information in “High-Heat Baking in a Dutch Oven” for information on converting Dutch oven handles to work safely in a hot oven.) Use a mild-flavored lager, such as Budweiser (mild non-alcoholic lager also works). The bread is best eaten the day it is baked but can be wrapped in aluminum foil and stored in a cool, dry place for up to 2 days.

Ingredients
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (15 ounces), plus additional for dusting work surface
1/4 teaspoon instant or rapid-rise yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons table salt
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water (7 ounces), at room temperature
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons mild-flavored lager (3 ounces)
1 tablespoon white vinegar

Instructions

1. Whisk flour, yeast, and salt in large bowl. Add water, beer, and vinegar. Using rubber spatula, fold mixture, scraping up dry flour from bottom of bowl until shaggy ball forms. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 8 to 18 hours.

2. Lay 12- by 18-inch sheet of parchment paper inside 10-inch skillet and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Transfer dough to lightly floured work surface and knead 10 to 15 times. Shape dough into ball by pulling edges into middle. Transfer dough, seam-side down, to parchment-lined skillet and spray surface of dough with nonstick cooking spray. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until dough has doubled in size and does not readily spring back when poked with finger, about 2 hours.

3. About 30 minutes before baking, adjust oven rack to lowest position, place 6- to 8-quart heavy-bottomed Dutch oven (with lid) on rack, and heat oven to 500 degrees. Lightly flour top of dough and, using razor blade or sharp knife, make one 6-inch-long, 1/2-inch-deep slit along top of dough. Carefully remove pot from oven and remove lid. Pick up dough by lifting parchment overhang and lower into pot (let any excess parchment hang over pot edge). Cover pot and place in oven. Reduce oven temperature to 425 degrees and bake covered for 30 minutes. Remove lid and continue to bake until loaf is deep brown and instant-read thermometer inserted into center registers 210 degrees, 20 to 30 minutes longer. Carefully remove bread from pot; transfer to wire rack and cool to room temperature, about 2 hours.

Taco Seasoning Mix

Mix together and store in an air tight container:

  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp dried onion
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Omy-Soba Recipe

Ingredients:

  • Soba Noodles
  • Yakisoba sauce
  • 2 eggs (Added with soy sauce, salt/pepper)
  • Sliced ginger
  • Chinese cabbage
  • Carrots
  • Sliced chicken/pork, seasoned (with soy sauce, sesame oil and pepper)
  • Tonkatsu Sauce
  • Seaweed Flakes
  • Bonito flakes
  • Mayonnaise

Cook Soba noodles in boiling water.

Add about 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok, and heat it with medium heat. Next, add in ginger and fry, followed by the carrots and cabbage. After frying vegetables, add in meat followed by yaki soba.

On a frying pan, add in the egg, turn to slow-medium heat. When the egg is still a little runny, add in the yakisoba close to one side and use a pair of chopsticks/spoon to fold the omelette (don’t worry too much about it if it gets broken or anything). Now that you’re almost done, get a plate, and flip the frying pan over it, and there you go, the holes are covered and you get a pretty decent-looking omusoba! If there’s still some noodles leftover, you can add it at the side.

Now the fun part! You can decorate the omelette with tonkatsu sauce, sprinkling some bonito flakes or seaweed flakes over it and what-not. And well, (attempt) to make it in a heart-shape, like what I’ve (destructed) below. You can also add some mayonnaise.
