Welcome

Welcome Friends!! This little blog is for all my friends and family that have requested I share my recipes and other homemaking ideas… As most of you know, we moved onto a 64 acre farm about two years ago… we still have our Family Nights, but now many of us live up here on the farm: Mom and Dad live with Lanny and I, Paula built her house in one of the existing barns, Robbie and Molly built inside the big barn by us… You can check it all out on our blog the Johnson Gap Chronicles… Anyway, I am still fermenting and brewing all over my kitchen, but our Tuesday night dinners are not as large as they used to be. All the grands except 2 are grown, have jobs, live in other cities, and with the recent Covid insanity (and our daughter-in-laws heart transplant) James and Tasha are not out much lately. We just move on and look forward to better days. Thanks for peeking in… check back now and then and I promise to add new recipes and ideas as I am inspired :-) God bless!!

Kevin's No Knead Artisan Bread / Living Traditions Homestead

I love watching Kevin and Sara on YouTube, Living Traditions Homestead. I have learned SO much about Homesteading from those two.

Here is a super easy no knead bread that Kevin makes ALL the time. 

Lately I have been making it all the time as well :-)


Enjoy!


No Knead Artisan Bread


INGREDIENTS

3 cups flour

1/4 tsp yeast

1 tsp salt

1 1/2 - 1 3/4 cup hot water


DIRECTIONS

Mix and let dough rest for 3 hours.


Place dough ball into parchment lined bowl.


Preheat oven and Dutch Oven to 450


Rest dough ball for 35 minutes while oven heats.


Carefully move dough ball in the parchment into the Dutch Oven.


Bake 35 minutes covered, 10 minutes without lid to brown if needed.

  I usually don't bake the additional minutes because the bread is always as brown as we like it!
