tonight: attempting no-knead bread

I'll be using Jenny Jones's no-knead bread recipe for people without a Dutch oven (yes, that Jenny Jones, the talk-show host from long ago). I have no idea how it's going to turn out, but I'm gonna give it a college try. It's a high-hydration dough that, ideally, ought to be baked inside a Dutch oven so it has a chance to bathe in its own steam, but I'll be going with a tin-foil-covered baking tray and parchment paper under the loaf so it's easy to remove. My coworker told me his wife will be making focaccia to go along with her lasagna, so instead of doubling up on Friday bread, I decided to bring my loaf in tomorrow. I'll prep half of the loaf as one of my favorite appetizers from way back when, and I'll prep the other half as bread on which to smear two spreads I'll be bringing along: hummus and garlic-dill cream cheese.

Photos tomorrow.
