This is a little late, but I have one answer for you, Sandi.

I bake our bread every day during the week. The actual work involved is minimal (10 minutes of kneading by hand) but it requires that I be home in time to knead, to fold, then shape, then get it in the oven. The recipe we prefer takes about 3.5 hours from start to finish. I can do this because I currently stay at home with my toddler. If I was working outside the home there is no way I could have the 3+ hours of wait time for our regular bread and feed my family at a decent hour. Not to mention hanging around or near the house all morning is not feasible on the weekends; we like to go out and do things. A recipe that allows me to have an entire day out of the house and STILL have fresh baked bread is awesome. So maybe instead of getting down on the people who eat “dreck” you could share some tips for getting other bread recipes in the oven for the folks who are not home at ALL during the day.

[...] W przypływie złości i beznadziei wróciłam do wizji pieczenia własnego chleba. Tym razem nie porwałam się z motyką na słońce i za cel postawiłam sobie biały chleb, którego przygotowanie jest najprostsze na świecie, tak proste, że nawet dziecko by sobie z tym poradziło. Znalazłam taki właśnie przepis w zaparowanej kuchni . [...]

I have been making this bread for a few week now, and to the other comment about yeast – i use 3/4 of a teaspoon and more salt… i also use part whole wheat flour… I’ve also throw in wheat bran, oat bran, quinoa, and for tonight – 1 1/2 cups of kalamata olives (no salt then), or raisin and pecans another night. delicious!!

Thank you for sharing this recipe with us. I made this bread yesterday, and I am making one today. I think there is nothing else to say but thank you.

I finally made this bread after all the rage about. It looked beautful but absolutely had no flavor (probably because of the minimal about of yeast). People are sheep.

I found your website when I was looking for an easy bread recipe. I wasn’t sure how well it would turn out, so I made it in advance before serving to company. WOW I cant believe first of all how few ingredients it required and then how easy it was. I made it before I went to bed and honestly it took all of 2 minutes and then when I got home from work I finished it.
The crust is beautiful and the bread is so soft inside. This will become my go to recipe always. I even passed it along to my family members and I am sure they will love it as much as I did. Thank you!

Hello, I am absolutely fascinated by this recipe and can’t wait to try it out. I don’t bake and have never even considered trying to, till now. Thanks for sharing, the South African bakeries will now have a new brand of bread to compete with, the homemade no-knead-bread.

Hello there! I came along this website really looking for an easy bread recipe that I could not mess up. I have to be honest and say that when I read about the 12-20hour wait to rise I kind of felt like moving on to another recipe, but THANK GOODNESS I did not!! I made the dough last night, it did not even take 3 minutes to get it done. We baked the dough today and it was a GREAT success!!! This made my whole family very happy, as the bread came out EXACTLY the same as the national bread from our native country Malta (in the middle of the Meditterranean sea). Needless to say I will be doing this again! And from the bottom of my heart, Thank you for helping me bring a little of HOME to our new “Home’ in the USA. Thanks.
