Jacques Pepin's no knead bread

During the recent lockdown, bread making seemed to have been everyone's to-do list. Especially during the first few weeks during the strict measures, and the delivery system was in chaos. I wish I had seen this recipe before and shared it with you  then. But the again can always make it and have fresh bread for the morning. 

So this recipe was in his Fast food my way series where he makes the whole bread in a pot, the mixing, proofing and baking. If you have one of those cast iron or iron pots then that's great but any nonstick pot is fine. If it has plastic handles, wrap the handles with some foil before putting it in the oven. 

There is no kneading in this recipe,  everything is dumped into the pot and mixed with a spatula or wooden spoon and then left to proof, with the lid on or with a kitchen towel on top for an hour and then, mixed gently with  a spoon and then covered and placed in fridge for the night or 12 hours. 

Then next morning or after 12 hours the pot is taken out, and popped into the oven and baked 45 minutes till golden.  Let it cool in the pot , once it cools it will come off easily. 

Its a more cake-like appearance depending on the shape of the pot but can always slice it and serve as for any normal bread and enjoy. 

Linkin this recipe with the IHCC for their potluck this month.
