No Knead Bread in a Dutch Oven

No Knead Bread in a Dutch Oven

This has got to be the easiest bread there is to make and it’s only 4 ingredients and very little mucking about. Stir them together, leave them in a covered bowl overnight and bake in the morning. I had to adapt the baking times from

Gluten-free, Egg-free Buckwheat Bread

I had a craving for buckwheat pancakes (no idea why) so I ended up buying some buckwheat flour. Then I saw this Gluten-free Buckwheat Bread (Egg-Free) from Food by Mars. I looked like the Russian Rye bread I love, so I gave it a go.

Limppuleipä – My Mummu Raihala’s Recipe

Limppuleipä is a sweet rye bread that is flavoured with orange zest, anise, fennel and caraway seeds. It is the perfect base for Finnish gravlax (or any other cured or smoked fish come to think of it). This was the other bread I learned to
