When the going gets weird, the weird feed the ones fighting the good fight.

Chi Chi Hardcore Bread (Named after the amazing Chef Chelsea, who works MAGIC!)

This is my favorite bread to make. I haven't had a hard time of it yet, even when it looks like it might not turn out right. It's lovely, crusty, and I could eat an entire loaf myself. No shame. 

Equipment:

Whisk

Spatula/Scraper

clean hands

Dutch oven (or a pot with lid)

2 Cups AP Flour

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp yeast

WHISK THE ABOVE UNTIL LIGHT FROTH HAPPENS

1 1/2 Cup warm water (perfect temp = 110 - 115 degrees, no warmer!)

MIX with hands/spatula

Dough will be ragged, cover bowl w/ plastic wrap and rise for 8-18 hours.

Preheat oven and pot/dutch oven for 30 minutes at 350 degrees,

Set bread on floured surface and toss into a ball — don't knead! 

Bake with lid for 30 minutes, remove lid, bake another 15 minutes.

Remove from pot to cool. 

Serve with style and panache!
