    Easy Cooking Recipes of Homemade Ciabatta Bread by Jenny Jones

    Look what I made! It was just an experiment but it turned out to be amazing! Anyone can make no knead bread without a Dutch oven. The secret is to create steam inside the oven just like it’s created inside a Dutch oven. And it’s easy. Steam is what makes a crispy crust and it’s really easy. What you do is put a small pan in the oven before you preheat it and then when it’s hot, you put in the bread to bake and pour some hot water into the small pan and it bursts into steam right away and fills up the oven. Then you quickly close the oven door to keep the steam inside and after 30 minutes, you will have an amazing loaf of ciabatta bread with a soft interior full of lovely holes and a beautiful golden crispy crust.

    You can use a variety of pans to create the steam (do a Google search for ideas if you like) but I find that process is not easy on the pan. I prefer this disposable foil pan because it’s small and fits right next to the baking pan in my oven. But if it does not fit on the same rack as your baking pan, just place it on a rack below. You may have to remove a rack to make room but whether beside the bread or on a rack below, keep it off to the side and don’t put it directly under the bread. Either way, place the muffin pan close to the front for easy access. Here is how I place mine and how you can place it below if your oven is smaller.

    I pour about 3/4 cup of hot tap water into 3 or 4 of the muffin cups. It’s good to use an oven glove when you pour the hot water because it creates steam right away and be sure to close the oven door immediately so the steam can’t escape. You can re-use the muffin pan, although it will turn dark. So there it is. I hope my photos help and now everyone who does not have a Dutch oven will be able to make this fabulous no knead, easy, homemade crusty ciabatta bread.

    Recipes of No Knead Ciabatta Bread

    No Dutch oven needed. Pouring hot water into a hot pan to create steam in the oven is what gives a crispy crust. Various oven-safe pans work but it’s hard on the pans so I use (& re-use) a disposable foil 6-cup muffin pan, placed near the bread. You can start this dough the night before by switching to COOL water and let the dough rest overnight on the counter top for 8 to 24 hours. Aerate your flour before measuring! – Jenny Jones

    • Prep Time: 5 minutes
    • Cook Time: 30 minutes
    • Total Time: 4 hours, 10 minutes
    • Makes: One loaf

    Ingredients:

    • 3 cups all-purpose or bread flour (360 gms)
    • 1/4 teaspoon yeast (active dry or instant)
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 1/2 cups hot water, not boiling (354 mL) – I use hot tap water – about 125-130° F (about 2 Tablespoons extra flour for shaping)

    Instructions:

    • Combine flour, yeast and salt in a large bowl. Stir in water until it’s well combined.
    • Cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 3 hours.
    • After 3 hours dough will become puffy and dotted with bubbles. Transfer it to a well-floured surface and sprinkle dough with a little flour. Using a scraper fold dough over 10-12 times & shape into a rough 12-inch loaf.
    • Place on a parchment paper-lined baking pan and cover with a towel. Let stand on counter top for 35 minutes.
    • Meantime place a disposable 6-cup muffin pan or other small pan in the oven, making sure there is room for your pan – if not, place the tin on a lower rack. Preheat oven to 450° F.
    • After a 35-minute rest, the dough will puff up a little. Place it in the oven and carefully pour about 3/4 cup of hot tap water into 3 or 4 muffin cups or small pan. Close oven door immediately and bake for 30 minutes.

  • Cooking of Vegetable Fried Rice

    Cooking of Vegetable Fried Rice

    Cooking of Vegetable Fried Rice by Jenny Jones

    There are three reasons why I love this recipe:

    • It’s vegetarian.
    • It has lots of super-food veggies.
    • It takes less than 20 minutes to make.

    This is a light, easy supper that I love to make, depending what I have on hand. My favorite combo is this one with broccoli, baby spinach, bell peppers, and peas. But I have also made it with other vegetables, sometimes broccollini instead of broccoli, Swiss chard instead of spinach, or other subs like asparagus, shredded carrots, bok choy, or Chinese snow peas, so you see it’s just a great way to get a variety of cooked vegetables in one meal. But I always use at least four different veggies.

    Cold cooked rice works best so I usually cook the rice the day before, and refrigerate it overnight. Mostly I use Uncle Ben’s converted rice but I have also made it with brown rice. Either way, if your rice is cooked in advance, this is a super-quick meal. Be sure to have everything ready before you start because a stir-fry means you don’t leave the pan once you start and it cooks in less than 10 minutes! So chop everything first and have everything in place before starting.

    Whole Wheat (No Knead) Olive Bread by Jenny Jones

    Learn How to Cooking Olive Bread? Look what I made! I decided to experiment with my faster no-knead bread and make olive bread. I’ve been making the plain bread regularly with 100% whole wheat flour and for a softer loaf, I also make it with 2 cups of whole wheat and one cup of bread flour. I’ve had olive bread before and loved it. I had a jar of olives handy so I made this loaf yesterday with my 2/3 + 1/3 flour mixture and WOW! It’s moist and soft enough for sandwiches and so delicious. I even had it for breakfast. (the crispy crust is the best part!) Olive bread is a way to include heart-healthy olives in your diet. If you haven’t tried the no knead method for bread, it’s amazingly easy.

    I first posted my faster recipe for plain bread and then another recipe for my whole wheat version. Now I have this fabulous olive bread and I am posting the recipe here because it’s so simple. To make my no knead whole wheat olive bread, you would follow the method used in my whole wheat version but with the ingredients below:

    • 2 cups whole wheat flour
    • 1 cup bread or all purpose flour
    • 1/4 teaspoon yeast
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt (reduced from original version due to salt in the olives)
    • 3/4 cup chopped, patted dry kalamata olives
    • 1 1/2 cups of cool water

    I just posted the entire recipe in the Breads category so now you can just.

    Recipes of No Knead Greek Olive Bread

    Masterchef Jenny: Recipe of Homemade Honey Wheat Bread

    Recipe of Homemade Honey Wheat Bread by Jenny Jones 

    Learn How to make it Easy Honey Wheat Bread? Here’s another super easy, healthy bread recipe and it’s by popular demand. My first “simple whole wheat bread” has been hugely popular but a lot of people have asked if they can eliminate the egg or add honey. YES and YES. This easy honey wheat bread has no egg and it’s made with… you guessed it: honey. The interior is nice and soft and it tastes really good.

    Masterchef Jenny Recipe of Homemade Honey Wheat Bread

    It takes a little longer to make than my other whole wheat bread (the one with the egg) and it doesn’t rise quite as tall so if you want it taller or faster, try Simple Whole Wheat Bread. But if honey-wheat bread is your preference, this recipe only takes a few minutes longer. And it works with either honey or sugar, and any kind of vegetable oil you like. I mostly use extra light olive oil.

    Having a warm spot to rise your dough helps it grow faster and I’m lucky to have a warming drawer in my kitchen but I have some other ideas on where you can rise dough in This Blog. I hope the bread industry isn’t mad at me because so many people have said, “I don’t buy bread any more,” and that includes me. Between my no knead breads and whole wheat loaves, I always bake my own bread and I’m saving money… and spending it on spatulas! I hope you’ll try my honey wheat bread and somebody send me a picture!
