Recipe of the Month

Delphine's Quick No-Knead Bread

2 cups white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon instant yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cup warm water
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon distilled vinegar
extra flour for working with the dough

Combine flour, yeast and salt (do not put the salt in direct contact with the yeast).
Mix the water, sugar and vinegar together.  Stir this mixture into the flour mixture until it's well combined.
After about 3 hours the dough will become puffy and dotted with bubbles.  Transfer it to a well-floured surface and sprinkle dough with a little flour.  Using a dough scraper or floured hands
shape into a rough ball.

Place into a dutch oven or oven proof bowl lined with parchment paper and let rise until doubled.  You'll know it's ready when it doesn't bounce back when you indent the surface with a finger tip.
Place in a cold oven with lid on the dutch oven or bowl and turn oven to 400 degrees. After 20 minutes lower oven temperature to 350 degrees and remove lid.  Bake another 20 minutes. 
Its done when it's internal temperature is 200 degrees.
