I found this recipe by a farmer on Youtube. He and his wife appear to be self-sustaining, which is remarkable in this day and age.


Tried it out yesterday, and the result was very good. It's very easy, and makes a round, artisan-style loaf.

I gotta try this. I am a sucker for easy homemade bread.
 
Google Jim Lahey's No knead bread. Itr became a New York Times favorite some years ago and requires a longer fermentation period (with less yeast) than the one the OP posted.
Yeah, though this one has the benefit of going from zero to bread in just a little over 4 hours.

I also think it might lend itself easily for variations. The next one I try, I will add a tablespoon or two of olive oil, and some fresh rosemary.

I gotta get a Dutch Oven. How many quart unit did you use for the bread?
The one I used has no markings on it at all. It's small, I'm guessing it is no more than 4-5 qt. But I'm sure you could go bigger.

Since yeast is pretty scarce during the current pandemic, I have used this same recipe using a sourdough starter. I just mix in about 1/2 cup of starter along with the other ingredients the night before, and let it rise overnight. In the morning, I turn it in the bowl, stretching the glutens a bit, then let it rest another 1-1/2 hours before it goes into the dutch oven. Still an easy bread to bake!
