Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Well, I used a Le Creuset pot. But apparently any oven-safe pot with a top will do; you need the top so that it will get steam and form a nice crust.

I thought one of the attractions of making bread was the kneading part, at least among people who like to make bread. Me, I've always preferred the breadmaker.

It is. I haven't made bread in about a year or two, but there is something entirely soothing about kneading. and the smell. Another good thing.

I'll have to check that out - I have a very similar recipe. In the one I have, you bake the loaves on the bottom side of a cookie sheet. You just spritz the loaves a few times with water during baking to get the crust effect.

THE EATING!

Our wings are not tired.

Reading about kneading, smelling, and eating fresh bread is just about killing me here!

Also, please to not type so much today because I really loved this thread title lots.

This is a good thread title. May the next one be equally amusing.

Now I want bread.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

THE EATING!

This is what I'm saying.

Alas, I have no oven-safe pot-with-lid. One of these days I'm going to break down and buy Le Crueset, but so far I've been put off by the thought of carrying it home.

no oven-safe pot-with-lid

Could a removable liner for a crock pot do in a pinch? Does the shape matter? Or just the oven-safe part?
