Thank you all for sharing bread recipes with me! Attempt #1 was steorra's no-knead bread recipe, because it was about all my frazzled brain was up to.



Results were pretty good! It was chewier than I expected, given the lack of kneading, though I guess the overnight rise helped that gluten development. I didn't get a ton of rise, and the loaf was pretty dense - I suspect that's a result of my extremely old yeast, which still goes, but perhaps not as resolutely or robustly as a fresher batch would.
