No Knead Craisin Pecan Bread

To yield the best result, use a Dutch-Oven with a tight-fitting lid. If you don’t have one, use an oven-proof, heavy duty pot with a lid. Baking the bread with a lid on traps steam inside the pot, creating the perfectly crispy crust. The bread is best eaten the day it is baked but can be wrapped in aluminum foil and stored in a cool, dry place for up to 3 days.

No Knead Craisin Pecan Bread

adapted from taste of home

300 g Organic bread flour
200 g Whole spelt berries, finely milled plus additional for dusting work surface
30 g Coconut sugar
10 g Fresh yeast, crumbled
1 tsp Ground cardamom (or cinnamon)
1 tsp Black salt
80 g Craisins
80 g Pecans, toasted and roughly chopped
480 ml Water (21C-24C / 70F-75F)

In a large bowl, whisk bread flour, whole spelt flour, coconut sugar, yeast, cardamom and salt. Stir in craisins and pecans. Add water to form a moist, shaggy dough. Do not knead. Cover and let rise in a cool place until bubbly and doubled, 7-8 hours. I left the dough, covered with a plastic film, in the fridge for 16 hours and 4 hours on my kitchen counter at room-temperature.
Preheat oven to 230C/450F. Place a Dutch oven with lid onto center rack and heat for at least 30 minutes. Once Dutch oven is heated, turn the dough onto a generously floured surface. Using a dough scraper, quickly shape into a round loaf. Gently place on top of a piece of parchment.
Using a sharp knife, make a 1/4 in. deep slash across top of loaf. Using the parchment, immediately lower bread into heated Dutch oven. Cover and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake until loaf is deep golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped, 20-30 minutes longer, partially covering if browning too much. Remove loaf from pan and cool completely on wire rack.

Kitchen Riffs 15/3/21 15:43: Love making bread that one doesn't have to knead! Although if you knead by hand it's kind of relaxing, isn't it? Anyway, this looks to have wonderful flavor. Really nice recipe -- thanks.
Fran @ G'day Souffle 15/3/21 15:45: Your bread looks fantastic! That's a new technique for me- first heating the Dutch oven, then placing the dough into the hot pan!

Eva Taylor 15/3/21 21:40: No knead bread is definitely one of our favourites. The bread is quite beautiful. We've only ever added cheese but no other inclusions so we'll have to give your recipe a try next time I want to bake bread.

Heidi | The Frugal Girls 15/3/21 23:26: Your loaf turned out so beautifully! I loved the addition of the craisins and pecans. These transformed your bread into something I could enjoy as a meal all by itself.
savorthebest 16/3/21 01:10: This would make a terrific breakfast. It looks fabulous
Marcelle 16/3/21 03:52: Oh my goodness, Angie!! I adore pecans and cranberries together, I've got to make this bread soon. We will love it ❤
Angie's Recipes 16/3/21 07:19: @DEZMOND Yes.
Yvonne @ Fiction Books Reviews 16/3/21 07:26: I have to come clean and admit that I had to look up 'craisins', as I haven't come across them before. Combining cranberries with pecans sounds like a winning combination though!

I am assuming that baking / steaming the bread makes it nice and moist, as pecans might be prone to making it quite dry otherwise?

I am a bit of a bread fiend, so I would definitely be up for giving this one a try, thanks for sharing your delicious pictures :)

Ron 16/3/21 11:25: A wonderful looking bread. I've not made bread with a couple of your ingredients, but they sound fascinating. I've never milled spelt berries, but we get spelt flour at our market. Is that the same thing. Black salt in bread, I like that idea as well. Craisins aren't available here but we do find dried cranberries. As I remember craisins are sweeter than dried cranberries. Id that what you find. A good loaf that I'd like to bake. Thanks for sharing...
Angie's Recipes 16/3/21 11:45: @Yvonne@fiction-booksI didn't know that pecans tend to make baked goods dry. I used pecans and cranberries because I am a fan of both.
Angie's Recipes 16/3/21 11:47: @Ron I believe that they are the same thing. Some brands contain more sugar than the other.
Mbul Kecil 16/3/21 13:07: the process of how to bake was very complicated but i think the result was great. How beautiful pecan inside of this browny bread...love it
