I'll second this one, it's the No-Knead Bread recipe that was published in the NY Times. Actually quite the rage now..so incredibly simple and easy to add whatever you'd like. I've done it plain (excellent as is) or with cinnamon raisin, whole wheat etc. Very forgiving! Best part is you can start it one day, and do the baking the next and be done. Good for holidays when you have lots of cooking to do and not a lot of time the day of your event.
Excellent choice Craig, I tell everyone who has always been afraid to make bread to try it.
Those are beautiful bread photos Michael!
