Default No-Knead Bread - A Variation - Simpler - Easier

Ken:

For decades I've purchased one or two loaves of bread from the store
each week. Since discovering the no-knead recipe and tinkering with it
to make it simpler, I haven't bought any bread from the store at all.

I really like the taste. In the recipe I posted, you have a fine bread
for sandwiches. I like to toast it and spread salsa on it. Since I
make two loaves at a time, I usually put a tablespoon of finely chopped
fresh rosemary into the second loaf because it's my favorite in the
morning with coffee.

My mother likes it with sesame seeds in it (1 to 2 tablespoons as you
like, toasted first) and an egg wash on top with more sesame seeds
(untoasted). I made a loaf with crunchy Cheetos by reducing to a
floury consistency in a food processor then substituting for a cup for
a cup of flour. The result is an orange bread with a mild Cheetos
flavor that goes over big at the children's holiday table.

I haven't tried cinnamon or raisins yet, but I expect they will be no
problem. Maybe someone else here will get to it before I do and share
the results.
