No Knead Bread - Take 2

Last year, No Knead Bread swept through the Internet - there were huge discussions about it everywhere. It was based upon a column by Mark Bittman published in the New York Times (I'll dig out my recipe and post it another time). But since then, Amy let us know about a second version of this bread, or "Soon the Bread Will be Baking Itself." My fellow Slow Travelers have been doing it for months and yesterday, I thought I'd finally give it a try.

You basically mix a batch that's good for four small loaves (maybe just under 16oz each). I did my first one yesterday:

which we enjoyed with dinner last night (by the way, those are some of those almond fingers in the background). Then I put the remaining dough in the fridge, and tonight, just baked another loaf:

It's cooling now. This is so easy (especially once it's in the fridge), I can't imagine buying bread again! Shoot - Chris has a bread knife in hand - have to go!

It really turns out nicely, doesn't it? I made my first loaf this week as well and liked it a lot. I have always baked bread but I like how this dough can be left in the fridge till I want to use it.

Dorit, the recipe is on the link above (The Bread will be Baking itself), which goes to the article which links to the recipe, or instead, click here: No Knead Bread 2.

OOh - hey - I just figured it out - if you get 4 loaves of about 14 ounces each - a one ounce slice is only 1 WW point - fabulous - normally bread is 1 oz = 2 points!!
