Mark Bittman, aka The Minimalist, shares a recipe on how to make no-knead bread where the secret is letting the time do the work.

For most of us, a day at the office is never accompanied by media interviews and roaring crowds. For Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant, though, this is just a routine part of his job. In the spring of 2008, with the Lakers set to face off against the San Antonio Spurs in a late-season game with major playoff implications, legendary filmmaker and conspicuous sports fan Spike Lee took the opportunity to show what its like for a top athlete like Kobe to go to work. With unprecedented access, Lee follows him from his arrival at the Staples Center through team meetings and pregame warm-ups, during the game itself, and at the end of his day as he, his wife, and his kids get in the car to drive home.

@hvalagao I agree, the times given are far to long. Try 15 minutes with cover on at 500F, then around 10 minutes uncovered, leave the bread in the pan while cooling. They forgot to mention the second rise of around 3 hours. Don’t forget the second proofing it’s very important!
I followed the instructions of this bread with these exceptions: Waited 19 hours and after shaping it into a ball, did not use any wheat bran seeds instead I put a bit of olive oil in bowl and let rise again for 2 more hours, then used parchment paper in the hot Cast Iron pot, put the dough in covered it and waited 30 min. at 500 degrees, then uncovered the pot and left it only 5 more minutes. The bread came out fantastic looked store bought!! Thank you so much for your recipe. It works!!!
If you don’t need bread why are you making it?
this recipe works really, really well. I will steal it for years too!

hey
i have take a interesting vid, this pls upstairs to enter
“The Zunft / The guild part 1/2″
and click on the first vid ^^
sorry for my english
What I love about this is that the baker is not selfish with his methods. Wonderful souls. Blessed be and may your business keep growing with lots of love.
this is wonderful. I have always made three ingredient bread, but letting it rise for 12 hours is not what I’ve done before. It doesn’t smell yeasty because you didn’t use much yeast?
how much water?
and what kind of yest ?
Ummmm, No. 18 hours my ass.
@MyREDTAIL cast iron works beautifly!
hmmm? Sullivan Street is in the West Village not in Hell’s Kitchen.
Sullivan Street bakery is the best, where
ever you want to put it!
Well, I just tried this technique, but using 20% whole rye, 80% strong white, and a touch of sunflower oil (probably unneccessary). Left for 19 hours, baked as shown but at just over 200C (the lacquer on my casserole dish goes funny at this point haha). I have to say having baked a fair bit of bread at home, this gave very tasty results. It’s not neccessarily the easiest technique, quite sticky and needs time management. But for ciabatta style bread at home- perfect!
Wow sounds cool! I’m trying this.
@swallowdalefarm In Mark Bittmans version of this (in his iphone app), it sais the dough could be covered in oliveoil for the rising, so it might be that:)
Yes, I see something in the bowl @ 1:56 that looks like oil too. What is it?
@NikkieRoxxx thanks for the info.
@keg265 yes its instant
This recipe revolutionized bread making for the home baker. So glad that it’s out there! I hope everyone makes their own bread!
is the yeast instant in the video ?
BUDmester, up yours
up yours
whats the oil in the pan after u mixed up?
@saramelanee f**k off
@petranoid king Arthur Co makes & sells the instant yeast in lb bags for about $5.00 & keeps in the refrig for a long time.
@meamud Yes people of course I’m a girl.
Thats a bad boy right there
@neerrg please tell me u r a girl
Kobe is badass
@deepfreeze02 analyis before game 7 even said….”rebounding is the winning ticket when its between boston and lakers” last time i checked kobe had around 15 rebounds in game 7..if he couldnt score which is rare, he still did whatever he had to do for his team to win…. boston was choking offensively as well that game…so lets not play stupid, that game was messy since the start…
Spike’s delivery sounds off.
LOL I love kobe and all for documentaries and stuff but I find him just narrating one whole game to be kinda awkward.
I find this video to be perfect timing with what’s happening in the nba now. The Spurs and Lakers are looking to see each other in the western finals this year. Watching this Spike Lee joint gives me a sense of foreshadowing for what’s to come in 2011. Lakers vs. Spurs. And I think the winner will be……..
Game 7 choker..
@neerrg nigga you extra gay asking guys if they like another man fuck you faggot
@neerrg I hope you’re a girl

Why are you waiting here online Naughty woman benaughtyman.info
Im a celtic fan n i must admit KOBE is one of the greatest to play the game
@MultiFlash92
MJ averaged 30+ and 50% for his whole career with 10 scoring titles, Kobe has 25+ and 45% with 2 scoring titles, MJ also has DPOY, ROTY, 3 steal titles, 6 finals mvp, and 5 finals mvp
Kobe has no DPOY, no ROTY, no Steal title, only 2 finals mvp, and 1 finals mvp
how exactly would that make Kobe better when he gets his 6th? Let’s not forget MJ retired 2 years in his prime
There’s no question that you’re a dumbass
Kobe Bryant is God Gifted! Enough said!
is he wearing a mic on the court
i bought hyperizes after i saw this
