Quick and Dirty 5-Minute Bread Recipe

Watch  this to see exactly what to do. Their ingredients are slightly different due to the flour they use. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFJZPm-_2-M

This is just my version of the 5-Minute Bread in the previous post. The other recipe on this blog is a long and very thorough explanation of everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know about the bread. I think one would benefit from reading it once, bu when it comes down to making the bread, all I want on the page is the ingredients and instructions.

3 c warm 100 degree water. (Microwave the water until it is warm to the touch)
1 and 1/2 T salt
1 and 1/2 T dry yeast

5 and 3/4 c unbleached bread flour (King Arthur brand is good. Bread flour uses a bit less than reg flour)
  1. Add water, salt and yeast to a big bowl or ice cream bucket. Stir. Add the flour. Mix well.
  2. Cover and let rise for 2 hours.
  3. Store covered with plastic wrap, in the frig for up to 2 weeks.
  4. Pinch/cut off a hunk the size of a large grapefuit and dust with flour. Dough will be very wet. Pull the edges over to the back and set dough on cornmeal .  Score the top of the bread as seen in video.
  5. Rest for 30 minutes.
  6. Place a pie tin with water on the middle/high shelf, along with the bread. Cook in 450 degree preheated oven for about 45 minutes. Just watch so it doesn't burn on the top.

Another alternative is to pinch/cut off a piece, flatten it out and back like it's a pizza crust. Of course this cooks much faster.
