Super Easy No-Knead Homemade Bread

[MissingWillow]

I just tried this tonight for pizza dough--best pizza yet!  I halved the recipe and used half the dough for 1 pizza.  Bake just the crust on a pre-heated 450 degree pizza stone until it barely starts turning golden, then top and bake until cheese is bubbly.

That is AWESOME!  We don't have a (decent) pizzeria in our small town so I usually drag out my Cuisinart when we're in the mood for pizza.  Next time I'll just open the fridge and grab my bread dough.  Thanks so much for this suggestion!

that is an awesome suggestion! Hubby and I like to make personal pizza's so I'd think if we used 1/2 the dough then split it up we'd have enough for a little pizza for each of us.

I made up some dough last night and plan to bake it today. It's been in the fridge overnight. And this may sound weird but I think plain bland dough smells awesome.

well pulled it out of the fridge and it's way moist. I can't touch it without it sticking to my hands. But I am unsure if that is due to me not counting my flour and I can't remember if I used 6 or 7 cups of flour. I wound up pouring it out of the bowl on to my cookie sheet to bake it and while flatter than yours it looks like it's baked just fine. I am definitely giving this another try soon!
Wonder how it would do in a bread pan? Any ideas?

It is a sticky dough, so you may have measured correctly!  Try flouring your hands, that should help.  I'll modify the recipe with this suggestion.  I use a plastic pastry scraper to scoop the dough out of my container then grab and stretch it right onto my cornmeal dusted pizza stone.  I've never baked in a pan because we like the crustiness of the chiabatta shape.  Go for it, it should be a tasty experiment!

I floured my hands but it didn't make a difference. It was a bout the consistency of thick glue.
But it tasted good so I'm not complaining.
I basically poured it and scraped at the same time. lol. But I have just enough for one more smaller loaf I think I'll try it in the small bread pan I have.
I also have a glass casserole dish I want to try and see how that come out. It would make it a bit taller but should still keep it similarly shaped.

This looks so good!  I am on a bread making kick!  I don't have a pizza stone though Do you think something else would work?

All I've ever used is my beloved pizza stone.  I tease my girls that they will have to fight over it after I'm gone...  If you try a cookie sheet, make sure you dust it really well with cornmeal.

Thanks!  I really need to get a pizza stone.  I had one years ago but I accidentally broke it and never replaced it

I used a cookie sheet and oiled it before baking. I didn't loose but one tiny piece to the pan out or 3 loaves. But I had it stick after the first batch and I'd forgotten to oil the pan before popping the last one in the oven.

I found this link about substituting wheat for white:

Now I have a question...is this using All Purpose Flour?
