Have you tried using oil instead of flour to keep it from sticking?


How Do I Keep No-Knead Pizza Dough From Sticking? Good Questions

I just tried these (okay, had my brother make them for me), and they were *delicious*. My favourite was probably the sauce, which is odd since I'm generally of the opinion that more spices are always better. But this sauce? Was absolutely perfect the way it was.

I have a very tiny oven, too, but it actually is possible to bake bread in it - if you bake it in the form of bread rolls, for example. :)

It takes longer, but it really doesn't harm the unbaked rolls to stay out at room temperature for a bit while the others are baked. But remember to let the dough rise twice; once after it's kneaded (until it's twice the size), and once after you form the dough into rolls.

You can use this recipe! I just baked them yesterday, and they're surprisingly good for something this healthy. :) And also extraordinarily easy to make - you need a bowl, a big bowl and an oven, basically. And, okay, given the European measurements, also a weight, but I'm sure that you can google it. :)

500 g wheat flour
300 g oats
150 g wholemeal flour
50 g fresh yeast
approx. 4 dl of water
2 dl of yoghurt
2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar

Mix dry ingredients well. Stir yeast into body-temperature water until dissolved. Add yeasty water, oil and yoghurt to flour mixture and knead well until the dough is smooth. Let the covered dough rise for approx. 2 hours, or until it is twice as big (my kitchen is cold. ;-) ).

Punch the dough down and form 20 rolls (or however many you'd like). Put the rolls on baking paper on a baking sheet and let them rise for another hour or so. Brush the top with yoghurt and bake for 12-15 minutes at approx. 390 degrees Fahrenheit.

Lasomnabule: That stew sounds absolutely amazing! You wouldn't happen to have a recipe lying around somewhere, would you? I'd love to make it!

Grate a large carrot and a sweet (to sweetish apple, depending on your taste buds) together, and drop in some raisins.

Best. salad. ever. I eat it as a dessert.

These are awesome!

But a minimum order of $40 for international shipping is unfortunately a bit too much for me, especially with anything above $16 being subject to a toll. I'll have to be content with dreaming about them... That doesn't make them any less awesome, however. :)
