The Unusually Unusual Farmchick pointed out in the comments that my link to the No-knead Bread recipe in the last post is a bit hard to find. Thanks for noticing that! (She has a really cool blog, by the way.)
So, here's the link again: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/08/dining/081mrex.html?_r=1&oref=slogin. From this recipe link, you can also link to a video of Mark Bittman and the bread's original baker, Jim Lahey, demonstrating how to make the bread. It's fun to watch.
Everyone, and I do mean everyone, can make this bread. The hardest part is measuring out 3 cups of flour. Can you do that? I thought so!
And no, you don't need to go out and buy one of those lovely cast-iron pots. But it's a great excuse. And if you can find one at a really, really good deal like I did, how can you possibly resist?
Oh, and here's another link to the Not Martha blog, in which people make comments and give variations on the bread recipe. Also worth checking out.

I love being able to have hot fresh homemade bread at a moment's notice.
These are actually very old-fashioned methods of breadmaking. Just "rediscovered" by modern bakers! The long ferment is good for us and makes the wheat more digestible, which is cool.
My husband loves it when I make "real" bread and now I have a new one for him- Thank you.
I plan to make this up on Sunday- hopefully after I pick my baby chicks up at the post office..Yippeee! chicks and homemade bread! LOL.
