Thanks for your informative article on bread
baking, especially the tip about using potato
water to feed the yeast! This advice was new to
me!

I would like to share with you my FASTEST and
EASIEST and most frugal way of making bread,
because the dough rises very quickly in the
microwave oven, and it also does not need any
kneeding whatsoever!!! I certainly hope you will
find this recipe so easy and fast and effortless
that you will start baking again!!!

(This recipe makes four big loaves.)

Mix 1 1/2 kg white flour with 1 1/2 tablespoon
dry yeast, 1 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 1/2
tablespoon of sugar (if the weather is cold) and
about 8 to 10 dl warm water in a mixer for 5
minutes.
Put the dough in a microsafe bowl and let it
rise for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes in the microwave
oven at a heat of just below defrost!
Put the dough on the table, no kneading needed,
or half a minute at the most! Cut the dough in
four parts and immediately shape them into
loaves.
Put them on a greased bakingsheet and let them
rise for about 10 minutes, or until the dough
rises after you have pushed it lightly with your
finger.
Put in 225 degrees Celsius warm oven, and
immediately lower the temperature to 200 degrees
C. Bake for twenty minutes, first in the middle
of the oven, then at the lowest rack.
Close the heat and let the loaves stand for
another twenty minutes in the afterheat.
They will come out just lovely, with a soft
interior and a crispy exterior.
