<p>I have been making this no-knead bread like almost every day. It's cheap, it's obscenely easy, and it comes out as good as or better than fancy bakery bread.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>recipe:</p>

<p> </p>

<p>3 cups plain all purpose flour</p>

<p>1/4 teaspoon yeast</p>

<p>1.25 teaspoon salt</p>

<p>Chuck those three in a big bowl and just mix a little with your hand to evenly distribute the yeast and salt</p>

<p>Add 1.5 cups warm water (preferably filtered - you get a better rise)</p>

<p>mix with your hand until it JUST comes together. Should take like 30 seconds or less.</p>

<p>Cover with plastic wrap and leave in a warm place for at least 12 hours. This loaf is from dough that I kind of forgot about and ended up leaving it like almost 40 hours LOL</p>

<p>You'll know it's ready when there's little bubbles all over the top surface. Get a spatula and gently move it around a little inside the bowl. The air from the first fermentation will come out. Fold it over itself 2-8 times and then move to a piece of floured parchment paper and cover with a towel for 2 hours for the second rise.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>About an hour before second rise is done, preheat oven to 500 with a #9 cast iron dutch oven inside. Once preheated, carefully transfer the loaf, paper and all, into the dutch oven, cover and bake for a half hour. remove the lid and bake another 15 minutes or so.</p>

<p> </p>

<div>So long as you follow the recipe, this bread is fucking idiot proof. A 6 year old could make it. Except for the scorching hot 500 cast iron dutch oven. But besides that...</div>

^ Heston ?

[rirawin]

Yup, Dinner by Heston. What did you think?

Had a go at making our own beef (super thick) noodles soup over the weekend...

Beef was slow cooked overnight, then warmed up again on the pan as we added a few more vegetables. Homemade broth was sublime...

Dessert... Red velvet and cookies and cream

Meat Liquor... nice! I'm hoping to check the place out next week. Did you queue for long?

[iceberg]

About 25 minutes, was worth it though.

As predicted the service was shit but the food was good!

Just dont order a Rootbeer.... its almost as much as a burger!!! bloody imports!

[weinfeld]

I thought Dinner was pretty good. The meat fruit was definitely one of the highlights of my trip. But overall thought The Ledbury was a better meal.

Day was rounded off with dinner at Burger and Lobster. They only have three things on the menu, lobster, lobster roll or a burger.

Went for the steamed lobster with plain butter... and you do get a whole, rather meaty, lobster.
