Just fun writing from Dennis Lee.
āDannis,ā I said to myself, āItās about time you learn how to bake bread. It is your Achilles heel, your one true weakness in the kitchen. If the world understood your bread illiteracy, your enemies would slay you with a sharpened baguette.ā
ThisĀ entireĀ time, Iād thought I needed a stand mixer or something to make bread, even though I understood no-knead, no-fuss recipes for bread existed. But what I didnāt realize, is exactly howĀ easyĀ it actually is. The New York TimesĀ no-knead bread recipe by Jim LaheyĀ is so stupidly easy, in fact, that I actually got pissed at myself for not making some sooner.
Thereās only four ingredients, flour, water, salt, and yeast. You mix that in a bowl, let it sit overnight, and just fuckinā bake it. There. Bread. Seriously, what the fuck.
