The Joy of No-Knead Bread

I've heard of No-Knead Bread for a couple of years now, but had not yet stopped to make it. But, shortly before Christmas,famed foodie and Olio2go customer, Gary V. from Binghamton, NY, convinced me to give it a try. We have made a loaf almost every day since this first (successful!) attempt.

We follow the recipe originally published in the New York Times, and watched this video during the first rising of our first loaf.

Several batches have been made with my All-Clad Dutch Oven, and more recently, oval loaves have been baked in the crock of the crockpot, topped with an inverted baking sheet.

We are so crazy about this bread, that we took a batch of dough in the car, to bake upon our arrival in Cortland! Mix it, set it aside, forget it, tend to it briefly, then bake it!
