Bittman’s Bread

Looking for a fantastically easy, amazingly tasty bread recipe?  You might have seen this one floating out and about in cyber space, but I finally caught up with it.  Step 1: Mix flour, salt, yeast and water in a bowl.  Step 2: Cover said bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit overnight.  Step 3: Shape the dough into a ball.  Step 4: Dump the dough in a hot casserole dish and bake.  ”Where’s the step where I have to knead it until my arms fall off?” you might be asking.  Ah ha!  It isn’t kneaded/needed!  And this is probably the best crackly crust that has come out of my oven.  

I mixed up a batch last night and baked it for lunch today.  Loaf disappeared, almost magically (if magic involves Strawberry Rhubarb Butter).  

Just mixed up another batch, same results expected tomorrow.
