The All Purpose Kitchen

There are hundreds of no-knead bread recipes out there, each with minor differences in ingredient ratios, oven time and temperature, dough-rising instructions, or with no differences at all. After trying over half a dozen different recipes, making tweaks, and splicing details, I landed on this version that I use all the time. There’s nothing revolutionary about this particular recipe, it just happens to be my favorite. I particularly like that you never even have to flour the kitchen counter, or maneuver the dough into a hot dutch oven.

The appeal is obvious — a respectable home-made bread without the fancy equipment or elbow grease. With only 20 minutes of active time, you get a bread with a beautiful, open crumb; rustic tang; and crackly crust. Given the comparative time and effort (or lack thereof) required, this No-Knead Bread recipe is hard to beat. So I’ll just leave this recipe here for you to keep in your back pocket — no knead to make a big deal of it.

I’m a big fan of tahini. Tahini is like peanut butter’s sophisticated older sibling - with many overlapping nutty flavors, but less rich, with a subtle bitterness, and no added sugar or salt. Tahini has a brighter, sharper flavor than standard nut butters, and is made from ground sesame seeds rather than tree nuts.

It makes a versatile and flavorful addition to recipes spanning from breakfast to dinner to dessert, and works well with a variety of flavor profiles. In this Sesame Tofu and Kale recipe, soy sauce, cumin, ginger, garlic, and brown sugar seamlessly pair together to build complexity and balance.
