No-knead Ghost Fougasse

Fun No-knead Ghost Fougasse for Halloween made with easy no-knead dough.  These fun ghost-shaped fougasses are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. 

I love using no-knead dough!  This dough is very similar to the no-knead crusty bread dough but it has the addition of a bit of sugar and olive oil.  I think you’re going to love how fast and easy this recipe is.  Perfect for dunking into a warming cup of soup on a chilly night.

1. In a large mixing bowl, add flour, kosher salt, sugar, and yeast. Whisk together.
2. Add warm water and olive oil.  Mix just until all of the flour has combined with the water.  The dough will look like a shaggy mess.  That’s ok.
3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit for 2-3 hours at room temperature.  
4. Once the dough has risen, then refrigerate overnight or at least 4 hours.  Cold dough is easier to shape.

1. Remove dough from the refrigerator.  Pour out onto a floured surface.
2. Divide dough into 8-12 pieces depending on how large you’d like the ghosts.  Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.  This will make it easier to shape the fougasse.
3. Using a pizza wheel cutter or sharp knife, cut slits in the dough.
4. Pull and stretch the dough to create ghost faces and shapes.
5. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.  Cover and let rise for about 20 minutes.  Bake in a preheated 425℉ oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden.  Remove from oven and brush with melted butter and sprinkle with flakey sea salt.
