Cook the Book - My Bread by Jim Lahey - Basic No Knead Bread pg. 50

I have started the journey to cook through the book I got from Christmas - My Bread by Jim Lahey. The Basic No Knead bread is as simple as it gets. 4 ingredients, a pot, an oven and time. I actually let the dough rise for 24 hrs since its the middle of winter and I had the time. Additionally after cooking for 30 minutes in the enclosed pot I only cooked for 20 minutes with the lid off. The color on the top was what I wanted. The loaf this recipe made was beautiful and I'm very happy with the results.

The top picture on the right shows the dough after being mixed and starting the initial 24 hr fermentation. The second picture is the dough after the 24 hr rise and the second two hr rise. Its ready to go in the pot. And the last picture is the finished bread ready to be removed from the dutch oven.
