Bread Recipe

I feel that I need to share this recipe because it is the easiest, most ingenious and ego-satisfying recipe to bake with. Your bread comes out looking like the pride of a french bistro. And it's easier than cutting up a salad and takes less preparation time, believe it or not. 


The Easiest Bread Ever (makes Challah look like hard labor)
From the book, 'Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day"
http://www.artisanbreadinfive.com/- watch their youtube demonstrations as well


Makes about four 1-pound loaves. The recipe is easily doubled or halved.



short version: 
dough...
mix (don't knead, just mix) 3 cups warm water, 1.5 T dry yeast, 1.5 salt, and 6.5 cups flour,
leave on counter for 2 hours in covered tupperware slightly open, then 
 fridge the tupperware of dough, and make bread with it any time in the next 2 weeks.


when you want to make a loaf...
pull off and shape a ball, 
dust it with flour,
 and let it sit out for 20 minutes, ,
slash the top,
then bake at 230 degree c. for 30 minutes.
