Easy Pinterest Recipes, No-Knead Bread and Two Ingredient Fudge

We have all been on Pinterest and undoubtedly have seen the recipes that claim to be super easy to make or only have a few ingredients. Marci and I are especially fascinated by these recipes and projects. So, we decided to give them a try. We Periscoped it live (on Thursdays) and now we are publishing our results on our blog. I must let you in a secret of mine, I have a friend who has a long list of easy recipes and she’s my resource! So here goes, we will show you two of our latest Pinterest phenomenon.

~ A Note About the Nester ~
When it comes to cooking, I’m not one to fuss over things. I don’t enjoy making the many layers of lasagna, my husband is the one I turn to for this job. I’m married to a great chef which is so nice on the weekends since he loves to get into the kitchen and cook!

First, this is a bread that doesn’t require any kneading. You’ll place the four ingredients in a bowl, let it sit for 12-18 hours and then transfer it to a preheated pot and bake in the oven. What do you think? Do you think it’s going to work? Well, you can kind of tell by the above photo it makes a beautiful rustic round bread. Just like the type you buy in the store! Here is the easy recipe.

No-Knead Rustic Bread

3 cups flour
1 3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp yeast
1 1/2 cup water (room temperature)

1. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and then cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Place on your counter for 12-18 hours.

2. Preheat the oven and your casserole dish (covered) or cast iron pot to 450 degrees.

3. When the oven is at 450 degrees, remove the pot and place a small amount of cooking oil on the bottom. transfer the dough into the pot and cover.

4. Put in the oven and bake for 30 minutes with lid. Remove lid after 30 minutes and bake for another 15-20 minutes till brown.

5. I noticed the more cracks you have in the dough when placing in the pot, the more cracks you’ll get when it is baked.

Yum, I need to make some soup now. 🙂 Enjoy!

 

Two Ingredient Fudge
Seriously this recipe only has two ingredients! My friend Francie told me about this recipe when we were walking one morning and I quickly came home and made them in just a couple of minutes. I kind of had my doubts about this one, so I was so curious to find out if it really worked. This is a great recipe if you have a late night craving and you just happen to have these two ingredients in your kitchen pantry. Also, whatever chocolate you use will determine the richness of the fudge. I’m in love with this recipe since it is so seriously easy to make, but it also tastes great!
1 can of sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
3 cups of chocolate chips (I used dark chocolate since this recipe tends to run sweet)
1. Line a 8 x 8 pan with tin foil and cover with Crisco or spray oil.
2. Place ingredients in a microwavable bowl.
3. Microwave for 1 minute
4. Mix all ingredients till melted. I love keeping some of the chocolate chips somewhat whole since they provide a little crunch like M&M’s. Add whatever you like to it either on top or in the fudge. I sprinkled sea salt on ours, just note that after the first day the salt dissolves. You can kind of see what it does in our photo.
5. Quickly place the fudge mixture in the lined pan and spread evenly. You can use a warmed (run in hot water) spatula to get a smooth surface.
6. You can refrigerate or leave out. It seems to harden quickly, so if you add a topping you need to work fast.
I think Guittard is a delicious baking chocolate, it also is made in our great city of San Francisco!
I hope you get a chance to make one or both of these great recipes! They actually work and are super easy. We will bring more recipes and crafts to you, and let us know if you like this new feature. We want to save you some time on Pinterest so you have more time to relax and enjoy your family. If you have something you want us to try out, just let us know. Also, we are on Pinterest if you want to follow us there too!
Cheers,
