I love making bread to go with dinner but sometimes I know I won't have time to make the bread and the dinner. I have found the answer! This very delicious sourdough bread recipe requires very little work before baking since it is actually mixed the day before. Once you mix the dough, it just sits on your counter for 19 hours until you need to do anything else. It was really nice that after shaping it into the loaf it rose for 2-3 more hours because that was well before I needed to get dinner started. The bread is supposed to cook in a dutch oven, but that doesn't mean you have to use charcoal outside. The recipe has instructions for baking it inside too.
When I pulled the bread out of the oven, it made crackling noises that the kids thought were really cool. This bread is not very sour for sourdough, but I think my kids probably like it better that way. The texture was like sourdough bread: dense, but spongy and moist at the same time. One of the best things about this bread is that it will impress any dinner guests with its artisan look and taste. I can't wait to try this recipe with rosemary or other twists! Thank you Alton Brown- this recipe is definitely "Good Eats!"
