That's it. I'm a hippie.

Crunchy

I have no idea when I got so "crunchy." Seriously folks... when I got home last night I couldn't decide between baking bread and going to yoga. Uh huh. So, I decided to whip up a quick no-knead bread AND do yoga. No compromising for me. Sheesh. I am glad I did though, because I had a fabulous breakfast of toasty warm English Muffin Bread with jam. Delicious. It's so so simple. Give it a shot (no yoga required).

English Muffin Bread

1 packet active dry yeast

3 cups flour

1 tablespoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1-1/4 cup warm tap water

1/8 cup yellow cornmeal

In a large bowl, combine the yeast, flour, sugar, salt and water. Combine with wooden spoon until a soft dough ball forms.

Grease a 2-quart casserole dish and dust with cornmeal. Add dough and sprinkle top with cornmeal.

Cover with a clean dish towel and let rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes, until bread doubles in size. Bake at 400* for 30 – 45 minutes until top is golden (place foil on top if browning too quickly). Place on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

This looks like a real keeper. But I still don't think you're a hippie.

Do not freak out, but next week (not this Friday) we will be starting our FOURTH year of Fridays!

I know! Kind of not possible to be more San Francisco. But hey, I'm bendy and I've got bread. There's worse things right?

there's definitely worse things! (p.s. i think the only possible way you could be more san francisco is if you were listening to the grateful dead *while* doing yoga (while baking bread).
