My House Smells Good

It's a chilly and gray Saturday morning, but my house is full of warm and happy because I am just about to take a loaf of bread out of the oven. Then I'm off to work until 8 p.m., which is probably a good thing. Otherwise I'd be home all day with a loaf of fresh baked temptation just beckoning me to dig in and slather liberally with butter.



The loaf turned out really pretty. I use the well known New York Times no-knead recipe, which originally comes from Sullivan Street Bakery and is now insanely popular and all over the internet. I've become a bread snob now that I know how to make my own. I like knowing that there are only 4 ingredients in my bread and I put them in with my own hands.
