ROSEMARY-LEMON NO-KNEAD BREAD
I've been wanting to try a "No-Knead Bread" for some time and this recipe showed up in my new William Sonama Magazine. Have to go out and buy a Dutch Oven, and will give this a try. Sounds fairly simple, with a long, slow rise time. It reports and end product of "a rustic bakery-quality bread with a crusty exterior and soft, springy interior" sounds great doesn't it. Can't wait to try it out. I had to put an amount for the cornmeal, but it's actually "as needed" Preparation time does not including rising time. Edited to add: I finally was able to make this, I had trouble with the rising but think my house was to cold. The blend of flavors was a nice change from plain bread and it did have that nice rustic look with a crusty outside.
