Before Christmas, I received an e-mail advertising different books. One of the books was Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Baking. It's about no-knead yeast breads. After looking at it on Amazon, I searched for no-knead breads and found a recipe online to try. I started the bread last Saturday afternoon and baked it between church and Sunday dinner. It turned out really good. The outside was crusty and the inside was soft.
If you have a large, oven-safe, lidded pot, dutch oven, or casserole dish and you like homemade bread, you should give this a try. If you don't have the right cooking vessel, borrow one. I borrowed Mom's 5L Corningware baking dish. Yes, it's a little smaller than the 6-8 qt. size recommended, but different reviews of other recipes calling for a similar size cooking vessel had positive comments on even using a 4 qt. dish.

Hi Jaime! - My sister Joyce (Amanda's cousin) has used that book a lot. She really likes it. Amazing to realize that you can have really good homemade bread in no time!
