it is 21 hours since i started my bread dough.
at 18 hours, i flipped the dough out and folded it a bit.
after 15 minutes, i formed a ball, placed it in floured tea towels, and left it.
at 1.5 hours, i heated the oven and my baking pot….i just used my usual copper saucepan with the tight lid.
at 2 hours i turned the dough gently into the heated pot, clapped the lid on and threw it into the oven.
at 30 minutes, i removed the lid.
at another 30 minutes, i took it out of the oven ad turned it out onto a rack.
at five minutes we started cutting it up.
it’s absolutely sensational and fully as good as any bread i have ever eaten anywhere.
and i just used regular organic white flour…not special bread flour.
crispy crust! awesome chewy crumb, with good sized holes to suck up the butter.
i like my bread just a fraction saltier, so i’ll sprinkle a tiny bit of sea salt to the surface next time.
and, yes, the next batch is already mixed!
it’s a lovely little round loaf:
make your own….recipe here.

The bread looks marvelous Patti! I’d be rushing down to the kitchen to start a batch immediately if Queenie hadn’t just yesterday snitched the 5 pound bag of flour from the pantry. I caught her in the living room covered in clouds of white and looking not the least bit contrite. So I’ll have to wait until tomorrow but I’m definitely all over no-knead bread. Thanks for the recipe!

Oh, Patti, that looks like a lovely loaf! I’m jealous of that crust, it looks amazing…wish I could get mine to look that good!

Nope, I was just too annoyed with the big clean up to think of taking a photo. I actually had to take her outside and dust her off. She doesn’t like the dyson, otherwise I would have vacuumed her. And i had to spray her mouth out with water…she was making flour/saliva paste in there. She’s such a silly dog.
