i printed this recipe off months and months ago (and only the english language can put the words "knead" and "bread" together and not have them rhyme), but only got around to making it this weekend. it's quite popular in the food-blogging world. it's "no-knead," so it's easy, but it still takes two days. you simply stir flour, salt, yeast, and water together in a bowl, then let it sit out overnight. the next day, you basically take it out of the bowl, flour it up, and throw it on a floured towel. then dump it into a hot skillet a couple of hours later and bake it. easy. but how's it taste? it's really good. nice color, as you can see. good crispy crust, the crumb soft, dense, full of holes. i shouldn't have waited so long! there is a new 1-day version of this now, so maybe i'll try that soon. this one is definitely worth repeating, though it is a really slack and wet dough at every stage, kind of like ciabatta. it can make a mess if you're not careful.
