Easy Artisan Bread

My friend, Erin, shared this link to a video recipe for easy, no-knead bread. It looked good, and Erin had positive results with it, so I thought I would try it. Well, it turned out great, and both the taste and texture rival any good bakery. As easy as it was, here are a few tips:

You have to let the dough rise for about 12 hours, so your best bet in terms of timing is to mix the the ingredients the night before and let the dough sit overnight.

You are also supposed to use a cast iron or dutch oven dish with a lid. I didn't have a cast iron pot, but I borrowed my mom's big Corning Ware pot with a cast iron bottom, which worked great. I am now planning on investing in a cast iron pot!

There is also a link you can click from the video site that has a printed recipe. I compared the printed recipe to what the guy in the video said. There were some slight variations between the two, but nothing too critical. You might want to consider both.
