Chef Tess Bakeresse: Lisa's No Knead White Chocolate Pecan Artisan Bread

Chef Tess Bakeresse: Lisa's No Knead White Chocolate Pecan Artisan Bread

3 c.  All Purpose Flour

1/2 medium rye flour

1/2 cup Mountain Mills Whole Wheat Flour

2 1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp instant yeast

1  3/4 cup water, preferably purified

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

1 1/2 cup diced toasted pecans

1/4-1/2 cup dried cherries

Directions: Mix flours, salt, yeast, and water in a large bowl. Add cherries, chocolate chips, and pecans. Stir well to make a very soft dough, and cover the bowl with plastic wrap.

 Let rest at room temperature overnight, or for at least 12 hours; the dough will be bubbly and puffy.

 Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and fold it onto itself a few times. Let it rest 15 minutes, then form it into a ball. Place it in a lightly greased bowl, smooth side down. Cover and let rise at room temperature about 2 hours, until a slight indentation remains when poked with a finger.

During the last 30 minutes of rising, preheat the oven to 450°F and place a bread crock (or a heavy, 4- to 4 1/2-quart oven­safe pot *chef Tess note: I use a 12 inch porcelain dutch oven with a lid) in the oven while it heats. When the dough is risen, remove the crock from the oven, and turn the dough out of the bowl and into the crock; the smooth side will be facing up. Shake the crock gently to settle the dough, then cover with the lid and return to the oven.

Bake the bread for 20 minutes, then remove the lid and continue to bake another 30 to 40 minutes, until the bread is deep brown in color and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers about 205°F. Remove the crock from the oven, turn the bread onto a rack, and cool before slicing.

Cheese Herb Bread

Cheese Herb Bread from bread machine, delicious.

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/4 cups warm milk, almond milk, or water
2 cups bread flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons dry milk powder
1 tablespoons brown sugar/Splenda blend
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, sliced
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan/Romano/Asiago cheese mixture
(Any cheese but sharp or extra sharp cheddar can be used - their enzymes affect rising.)
Pick and choose herbs:
1 1/2 teaspoons dried marjoram
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
(All herbs can be replaced with fresh with double the measurement)
(Rosemary and/or garlic or garlic powder are other possible ingredients.)
(Italian seasoning mix can replace ingredients.)
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 tablespoon Vital Wheat Gluten (optional)
DIRECTIONS: Place ingredients in bread machine in order suggested by bread machine.
I have two bread machines in the exact opposite order, which is good because I forget and I look at the order printed on the one bread machine.)
I use light crust and basic bread machine setting and reset in 15 minutes when I use the wheat flour. I want it stirred at the beginning which the wheat bread setting does not do.
Can be made using the mix dough setting and baking in the oven and other people have great luck without the bread machine.

If using more whole wheat flour add 2 tbs gluten flour to improve rise and texture as whole wheat has little gluten compared to bread flour.

Rye bread recipe

2 tsp yeast
3/4 cup rye flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup bread flour
1/4 cup flax seed
1/2 cup old fashioned oatmeal
1 tsp caraway seeds
1 tsp fennel seeds
2 tsp dried onion
2 tbs vital gluten
2 tsp grated dark chocolate
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup honey
1/4 tsp salt

Whole wheat cycle bread machine.
Add 1/3 cup soy milk.
Add 1/4 cup Dr. B soda

Didn't mix well, had to add more liquid and restart. One corner still ended up with a little bit of uncooked flour. At the end was OK. Next time I'll leave out the Flax Seed which although healthy for you I am not crazy about when there is enough to really taste.

At least the Jalapeño Cornbread starting from a mix I made while fooling around with this turned out well.

Primarily this was to make more sandwich bread and start on the 7 pounds of Rye flour in the freezer. We start out with the flour in the freezer for at least 2 weeks to kill any weevil eggs.

Added - this was much better, good, the next day but it really didn't mix well.

1/4 cup crumbled shredded wheat
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup bread flour
1 1/2 tsp yeast
2 tbs strawberry jam

Bread machine on whole wheat cycle (5 hours)

It really should have an egg or two but I was out. The butter is optional. The first time I substituted some juice from a jar of jalapenos and soy milk for the buttermilk.
