Yum! Yum! Bread in 5!

Bread in 5, as in bread in 5 minutes!

I don't necessarily consider myself an amazing cook (striving to be, though). And making bread just sounds a bit out of my ability... I'd had this yummy artisan bread many a'times - anytime we eat at my sister-in-law and brother-in-law's, Jac makes it... And it ROCKS. She sent me the recipe MONTHS ago... but it's long and scary. I'd bought the ingredients, but never attempted. Until yesterday. Let me tell you... I am shocked at how truly easy this bread is to make & it's so yummy I can hardly believe I had anything to do with it!

Just to give you the short and the sweet of it (it's really much easier than the long recipe lets on...):

1. Mix first 4 ingredients & let rise for 2 hours. Decide if you'll bake or refrigerate.
2. Pull of grapefruit size chunk of dough. Put on flat, cornmeal covered surface for 40 minutes before baking. 20 minutes before baking, preheat oven at 450 with baking stone inside and shallow pan (to eventually hold water) inside.
3. Put dough in oven & water in shallow pan. Bake 30 minutes or until brown (knock on the bottom of the bread, if it sounds hollow, you're done.)
4. EAT IT!

It really is that easy. (**Thanks Jac!)
