The no-knead bread recipe from the NYT works beautifully. I bought an all-metal pot at Ikea specifically for the purpose (all our pots have ovensafe limits/pesky plastic handles/nonstick finishes) and it came out so well (I was worried the pot wouldn't hold up to 45 minutes at 450F).
The bread emerged from the pot all golden and crackly and professional looking, like a Reinhart bread without all the hands-on love time. It was properly risen, the crumb is broad and lovely, and I can't wait to taste it.
Amazing, really amazing. I suppose bread's been made that way for thousands of years and we just forgot about it for a while, but it seems like magic to me.
