My boss and coworker want brisket sandwiches for the big April meal, which I'll be serving on Friday, April 17. I now subscribe to an "as homemade as possible" ethic, which means I'm finally—finally—going to try baking a legitimate loaf of bread. Chef John at Food Wishes has a recipe for "No-knead Country Bread" that I'm going to try to make. It seems simple enough, although it also looks quite sticky as a raw dough. Instead of making one huge loaf, though, I'm going to make several small, sandwich-sized loaves that ought to come out looking like ciabatta, given how Chef John's rather saggy-looking loaf turned out.*
Wish me luck. I'll do a practice bake or two. If I can't find spelt flour anywhere nearby, I might have to order some from iHerb.** Or just go commando and use only regular flour.
*Chef John mentions ciabatta in the video. And yes: I'll adjust baking time accordingly since I'm making buns instead of one huge loaf.
**Just checked iHerb. All of the spelt flour is either discontinued or out of stock. Lurvely.
