I didn’t have an iPod was until only a year or two ago; I saw The Goonies for the first time while in college; I am still using a crappy P & S camera; and I had no idea Miley Cyrus was dating a Jonas Brother. So yes, one might say I am behind the times, if not completely and utterly clueless. For that very same reason I lost years of culinary adventures by not discovering food blogs until month or two ago. It comes as no surprise that I just now (finally) discovered No-Knead Bread from the New York Times. How did I miss such earth shattering news?
Well, better late than never. Yeast breads have been somewhat of a stumbling block for me… let’s just say recent forays into bagel making are a sore spot not to be blogged about. This bread is an exception. If you are one of the tragically un-hip and not-in-the know, kindly go to your pantry and grab yeast, flour, and salt. Just mix it with some water, come back to it tomorrow, and then bake at 500 degrees in a cast iron dutch oven. If you are still lusting after a Le Creuset like me, just bake it in your stainless Emerilware stock pot on sale from QVC. Works fine. So what are you waiting for, go to this link and make the bread – all the cool kids are doing it (er, were doing it 2 years ago).
give me some of that bread! I have a pound of sweet cream butter in my fridge just waiting to meet it!
I just made this for the first time a month ago as well. I made both the speedier version as well as the 36hr version. Isn’t it just wonderful bread? I was so impressed.
