No Knead Bread

I have been hearing about this more and more.

Rick Wiedman my friend sent me this recipe that he tried and was skeptical about.
He was suprised by Joy ...chewy crust , but great texture bread , and no Kneading!

This is sort of a revolution in bread making although not really new. It is just that making bread without the kneading process has not been in the mainstream.

With our modern nano-second age this recipe is emerging as something easy and do -able on a regular basis for those that don't want to take all day making bread....

Gingerbread and Lebkuchen

A German perspective

 

This is the time of year for Ginger bread
and in Germany called Lebkuchen where they perfected the art in Nuremberg , due to the adjacent honey farms and being on the spice route.

Some Things that I recommend for your kitchen

magic Bullet

Magic Bullet MBR-1701 17-Piece Express Mixing Set

I use this everyday in my kitchen for salad dressings and other sauces. Great for a quick smoothie also.

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Signature 7-Piece Knife Set with Block  

My favorite brand of knives. The town of Solingen has been famous for making sharp things since medieval times when swords were popular

Microplane 40020 Grater/Zester  

 

Absolutely "Grate"!
when I need to grate a lemon, or Romano cheese, or ginger you will want this thing grabbing distance when you cook.
