Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pound No-Knead Dough

  • 1 egg

  • 1 tablespoon water

  • ¼ cup melted butter

No-Knead Dough Base

  • 3 cup water (105°F to 115°F)

  • 1 tablespoon instant or active yeast

  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt

  • 6 ½ cup unbleached all-purpose flour

Directions

  1. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Remove a 1 1/2-pound hunk of dough. On a floured surface, divide dough into eight pieces. With floured hands, shape into balls the size of small plums.

  2. Place in pan; cover loosely. Let rest 40 to 60 minutes.

  3. Combine 1 egg with 1 tablespoon water. Just before baking, brush rolls with egg wash. Bake 25 to 30 minutes at 350°F or until lightly browned. Brush with 1/4 cup melted butter. Let cool 10 minutes in pan; remove from pan. Makes 8 rolls

No-Knead Dough Base

  1. In a 5-quart nonreactive container, mix water, yeast, and 1 tablespoon kosher salt. Add flour; mix until just incorporated.

  2. Cover dough loosely; allow to rise at room temperature about 2 hours.

  3. Do not punch dough down. Shape and bake dough the day it's made or refrigerate in a lidded container (not airtight) for up to 14 days. (The dough is easier to work with after several hours of refrigeration.) If dough is chilled, let it rest 30 minutes at room temperature before using. Makes 3 1/2 pounds.

This dough keeps in the fridge up to 2 weeks. Remove portions to make a boule, a loaf, or rolls.
