What are You Doing for the Holidays?

[bcr229]

So two things, I'd love to hear more about this artisan bread, and secondly, thank you for doing the right thing and advocating against fruit cake

Just do a Google search on no-knead artisan bread. The recipe is very basic: Flour, Water, Yeast, Salt. Long rise, dump the dough into a preheated crock, and bake.

After you make a loaf or three using the instructions as written, start making substitutions or small additions. As an example, I substituted half the white flour for whole wheat or rye flour and added honey, or I added garlic powder and Italian spices, pine nuts, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc.
