Best No Knead Bread Recipe

b Yummy homebaked bread made with flour, water, yeast and salt.

Home baked bread taste so much better and cheaper than buying from the store. It is amazing that a simple combination of flour, water, yeast and salt can create the most wonderful and satisfying bread.

Yesterday afternoon I used the bread machine to make the bread dough and baked it this morning in the oven [tada!]. Just thinking of slabbing butter and kaya on slices of this bread is enough to send me to lala-land...

I have been looking high and low for a no knead bread recipe and all praise be to Allah SWT, I found one!

The only problem I have with homebaked bread is that husband will gobble down all at once when he saw them, and then felt guilty that he is gaining weight from eating all the delicious bread [doh!]. Although I stopped baking bread 3 years ago he still has not lost the bread-weight yet.

Anyway, I found this quick and easy way of baking a no knead bread on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13Ah9ES2yTU and will try it out soon, Allah SWT willing.
