Something in the air

Last weekend I actually had all three days off - usually I am either traveling, or sign up to work (so I can save the vacation time for later). It was so nice I wish I could always have three-day weekends (or all weekends, no work!).

I made bread from this recipe even though his writing style makes me nuts. It came out purty:

but I'm not a huge fan of the flavor. Do any of you have good/easy/tasty recipes? Right now I'm reading a book on baking: 52 Loaves: One Man's Relentless Pursuit of Truth, Meaning, and a Perfect Crust - but his recipe looks harder than I want to do (and calls for a sourdough-ish starter). Help a baker out!

    But at least a basic white bread is much more malleable to use up than a molasses-intense bread.

    Have you tried the Jim Lahey's No Knead Bread? http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/08/dining/081mrex.html It is phenomenal.

    Hmmm I have NOT made the bread (though have certainly heard about it!). I might be able to get that started tomorrow, and could bake it Sunday. Stay tuned!

    hm, I never did get around to doing that last weekend. If I mix the dough tonight, I can bake it tomorrow afternoonish. That just might work!
