No Knead

I have a healthy fear of bread baking. Until the other day I was intimidated by those who speak of their exploits with and knowledge of yeast. I listened jealously to their tales of focaccias and sourdoughs and was envious of the fresh bakery smells that were sure to be wafting around in their kitchens. I love crusty bread, but it's not exactly cheap, and with only two peeps in the house, it inevitably goes stale and uneaten after a few days.

After embracing and accepting my fears with the art of making bread however, I saw this book and had second thoughts about my perceived inabilities. It's pages promise low-maintenance bread baking opportunities that seemed both manageable and cheap. Just the ticket for this carb lover.

Viola! I've been baking bread over the last two weeks and each loaf tastes like the real thing - cause it is! No kneading, hardly any waiting... it's so simple. The best part is that you can use as much or as little dough as you want so that there is no wasted bread after a meal. I think I need to invest in a large purchase of flour. Soon.
