Easy & Delicious No Knead Crusty Bread
This is an easy bread because there is no kneading. The timing is very flexible so if your plans change at the last minute, no worries, it can wait. The dough will be a bit sticky as you dump it in the baking dish but that is ok. Just remember the lid and the dish will be hot as you add the dough. Be sure to use parchment paper, not wax paper.
