Re: BREAD REVOLUTION!!! (pic and link included)
Okay, mine came out AMAZING. Even with the slightly over-cooked (aka burnt) top. (I put it in the oven and proceeded to get sick with a stomach bug. I called Dh home from church and spent the next half an hour just sitting in the shower. Meanwhile my bread got really toasty. lol.) As soon as I get pictures uploaded I'll share.
A note for those who were scared like me:
1 - It is totally possible to do this without a stone and a paddle and have it be really fantastic.
2 - It helps to have the right measuring utensils, but if all you can find is a 1/2 teaspoon and a liquid measuring container, then by all means, do it! It's worth measuring out a bajillion little 1/2 teaspoons of salt and yeast just to have the dough ready.
3 - It may feel complicated and intimidating to mix (and not knead!) the bread, but it really is super simple and despite any personal doubts you may have, the dough will rise.
4 - The dough tastes saltier than it does once it's cooked. I was really apprehensive about the lack of sugar to balance the salt and wondered if I was going to end up with play dough tasting artisan bread. I was very pleasantly surprised that the dough is not in the least as salty as I thought it would be.
