I thought one of the attractions of making bread was the kneading part, at least among people who like to make bread.
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.
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.
oh my god so tired. no reason that I can think of. I fear the cold may not be quite dead, or a new one has been given to me by co-workers. really not a time to be sick.
want to curl up and close eyes. seriously.
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?
With msbelle on the extraordinarily tired for no reason.
He's wrong! Brining is where it's at.
This. It is so easy, and makes such a difference. My sister (who prepares most of the meal) decided to brine 5 or so years ago and the rest of the family made her promise to do that every year, even though she generally likes to use different recipes for everything.
