I first heard of the no knead bread recipe baked in a Dutch oven a few years ago. I didn't have a Dutch oven and didn't want to make an expensive investment for something I'd probably only use for bread. I bought a cast iron Dutch oven that was on sale for $15! I followed a recipe that was originated at a New York bakery. Man! Was I impressed! I did a happy dance right there in the kitchen. I'd been searching for that elusive crusty/chewy loaf forever. Never really got close no matter what recipe or method I used. I now also own a beautiful Marquette Castings 6 qt. Dutch oven, but still use my ol' cast iron one for my bread so I don't mess up the pretty white enamel interior on the new one. I sure am going to check out other recipes using other flours or add-ins like seeds/cheese, etc. Thanks KA.
