Bread in a hurry

I love making bread. Nothing makes me happier than pulling a crusty loaf out of the oven. Unfortunately, I don't make it as often as I'd like: even no-knead bread demands a bit of thinking about the rising time and pulling flour from the pantry is just something I don't want to do when waiting for the bus.

So I'm delighted with my new blindingly obvious solution: Last night I measured out the dry ingredients and put them in a covered bowl on the countertop the night before, along with the a jug of the required amount of water. Bread mixed - 10 seconds - boom! Phil works at home, so he turns it in the bowl for its second rise around 3 or 4. I switch the oven on as soon as I get home and boom! bread on the table!

Yum yum.

Haven't made no-knead bread yet? OMG you like totally should.
