Bread that is too easy to believe

OK so I came across this bread recipe and at first it sounded complicated and too weird to work..but it did work and it's not complicated at all! You mix a few ingredients in the evening, in the morning dump it on a floured towel for the day, and when you get home you pop it into a cast iron casserole dish and bake it...and that easy you have homemade artisan bread. REALLY...it works!

Overnight Bread

3 c. flour
1/4 t. yeast
1-1/2 t. salt
1-5/8 c. warm water
Just mix the flour, yeast and salt well. Add in the warm water, mixing well.
Cover with a towel and let sit overnight.

In the morning. flour a cotton towel, or even just your counter, dump the dough onto the flour and knead only about 3-4 times. Let sit on the flour all day.

When you come home later in the day, grease your cast iron casserole dish and put in a 450 oven--empty--yes, empty for 1/2 hour. When the 1/2 hour is up, drop your bread dough into the pan and bake for 1/2 hour with the lid on. Then take off the lid and bake for 2o minutes more. Remove from pan while hot.

It will seem when you drop the dough into the hot pan that all is lost...but have faith and you will soon have a wonderful loaf of homemade artisan style

bread with your dinner:)
