SANDY MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD

“Hi Jenny, I tried your recipe today and it came out amazing! It’s my first time making bread and I wanted to thank you for your truly forgiving dough recipe. I wanted to share the photos with you:

  • Lighter loaf farther from camera was made following your recipe
  • Darker loaf closer to camera is made with 2 cups AP flour + 3 cups oat flour + 2 cups hot water + 1/2 tsp yeast + 2 tsp salt
    (I used oat flour because I ran out of AP flour, but the result was still amazing! Just a little denser, moist, and didn’t rise as much – tasted like wheat bread)
  • Just a note: I didn’t have a dutch oven, so I used regular soup pots that were oven safe, and then covered the top with foil – here are the results below”

PAUL (from Canada) MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD

“Hey Jenny..been making no knead bread (ones you let rise overnight) for couple years. But yr recipe is so much simpler & FASTER, with wonderful results. I use an oval Kitchen Aid cast iron pot – like the shape better than round – but upped yr ingredients by 1 1/3 times ie 4 cups flour etc, to fill my pot. Increased quantities work fine. Shaping the parchment paper into the oval shape (folds around perimeter) results in all sorts of interesting ridges on sides, as the dough shapes itself into it. Thnx so much for sharing this, as well as all yr other recipes. Love them ALL. Regards. ~ Paul A. (Kitchener, Ontario, Canada)”

~ I love the oval shape. Thanks for your photos. I’m from just down the road – London! ?? ~ jennyBest Recipe No Knead Bread

LARRY (from Illinois) MADE MY CHICKEN POT PIE

“Greetings from Illinois! Just finished my take on your chicken pot pie. Your recipe with my senior moments! Didn’t re-watch your video before I started…..remembered that you put the egg wash on the (crust) pan ….hey, it was white!and I guess the cast iron pan was from another video. The crust got a little thin since I put it top and bottom like store bought. It came out great and tasted great. Thanks for all your great recipes and videos. I did re watch your video with my glasses on! ~ Larry”

~ Well that sure looks good to me, and I’m wearing my glasses! ? ~ jennyHomemade Chicken Pot Pie

FÉ MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD

“Hi Jenny! I discovered your YouTube channel and made this bread for the first time based on your No Knead Bread recipe. I divided it into two parts because I have a smallish Dutch oven and I only have a convection toaster oven available at my apartment. I made modifications to the recipe by including black olives and pepper Jack cheese and topping one of the loves with Maldon salt. Both came out so yummy that my boyfriend and I ate them all in the same evening. I love your colorful kitchen set up and your enthusiasm for what you make shows through in your videos and is very inspiring. Warm regards, Fé.”

~ It’s quite impressive to make this in a convection toaster oven. Thanks so much for sharing. ~ jennyJenny Can Cook No Knead Bread

“GAGA” (from Arizona) MADE MY NO KNEAD BREAD

“Jenny, Your sweet nature and your videos and recipes have made our self-quarantine sane!! I have been baking and cooking for over 50 years now and you are proof that there is always so much more to learn! Here is my THIRD loaf of the crusty no knead bread! Since I have my 11 year old grandson with Autism that is gluten free and his parents living with me, would you have ANY recipes made with almond flour in your arsenal? You are a blessing to us all, dear Jenny! Warmly, “GaGa.”

~ Thank you for your great photos. I only have one almond flour recipe – (Chocolate Chip Cookies) ~ jenny

HOLLYRAE (from Vermont) MADE MY NO KNEAD CRUSTY ROLLS & BREAD

“I am so glad to have found your recipe for these GREAT rolls! So easy and so good. Hard to believe that such a nice crust can be obtained without throwing water in the oven or spraying or anything like that. Flavor of the roll is nicely balanced; texture/chew is fabulous. Looking forward to a time when I can bake a batch of these for family gatherings! Thank you for a fabulous, fool proof, easy, delicious recipe!! ~ HollyRae in Vermont.”

~ Thank you for sending your photos and for taking time to write. Stay well! ~ jennyNo Knead Crusty Rolls“Thank you for this marvelous recipe! my first attempt today and it is so good. I only had a 3 qt. Corning dish with a lid, but it seemed to do the trick. My loaf doesn’t look as gorgeous as yours (not as browned) but it still looks like it came right from a rustic bread bakery. Can’t wait to try a slice, toasted, with coffee tomorrow. Thank you for this fabulous recipe! My bread looks and tastes as if from an artisan bakery. ? ?”Easy No Knead Bread
