Chuck Hughes' No Knead Bread

1. 1

   Mix together in a large bread-making bowl the water, yeast and sugar.

2. 2

   Allow this mixture to bubble and foam, then add the oil and vinegar.

3. 3

   Add the bread flour cup by cup, stirring well after each addition.

4. 4

   Then add the salt and the whole wheat flour, cup by cup, stirring well after each addition. The dough will be a bit wet and spongy.

5. 5

   Cover with a damp tea towel and let rise in a warm place for 30 to 40 minutes or until the dough has doubled in size.

6. 6

   Using a big spoon, spoon the dough into 2 well-greased loaf pans. If necessary, press the sides down, helping to create the perfect loaf shape.

7. 7

   With a knife, make 2 or 3 diagonal shallow incisions in the loaves.

8. 8

   Sprinkle with either the steak spice or raw sugar, depending upon whether you want sweet or savoury.

9. 9

   Bake the loaves about 50 minutes at 375 degrees F or until they are golden brown and crusty on top and sound hollow when tapped on the underside.

10. 10

    Let cool at least 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
