Years with an HN recommendation, 2007–2026

HN people point to it as a cheap, low-effort way to bake very good bread and as a beginner step into cooking.

Mark Bittman and baker Jim Lahey of Sullivan Street Bakery demonstrate the no-knead bread recipe, where a long, slow rise does the work instead of kneading. It is a short New York Times recipe video.

“it takes 5 minutes of effort and about 40 cents to make very good bread out of salt, flour, yeast and water.” (HN, 2023)

I can recommend this recipe: [link] (video: [this video] ). It is very little total work (15 minutes max) and makes great bread, but it does require some planning ahead because of the long rise time.
NYT no-knead bread recipe: little work, great bread, long rise.
