No-Knead white bread (only 4 ingredients!!!)

I'm not a health nut.  Actually, I'd describe myself more as a white rice and meat kind of girl.  I love fruit and hate vegetables.  And don't get me started on soda...I simply l.o.v.e soda.  But I'm trying to interweave some healthy recipes into my family's meals. 

My first recipe may not necessarily be healthy since it's chock full of white flour.  But it only has 4 ingredients, your friends will think you've become an amazing baker and it tastes amazing.  Ever walked into a bakery and wanted to fall to your knees due to the amazing smell?  Yep, welcome to my house once a week. 

No-Knead White Bread
6 cups white flour (Costco anyone?)
1/2 teaspoon yeast
1 teaspoon salt
2 2/3 cup cold water

Dump everything in a nice big bowl and mix.  I used a wooden spoon to mix for a long time, and just recently upgraded to this amazing Danish Dough Mixer per recommendation from the amazing blog that I got this recipe from (www.frugallivingnw).  She makes it with a bit more salt than I do, but I credit her fully for bringing this bread into my life!

Once it's all mixed up pull saran wrap over the bowl and let it sit overnight.  In the morning it will be nice and bubbly. Generously flour a kitchen towel and dump the dough onto it.  Cover with another towel for 1.5 hours.  After the 1.5 hours preheat your oven to 425 degrees with your covered Dutch Oven in it for 30 minutes.  Then put your dough in the dutch over, cover it and cook for 40-43 minutes.  Remove cover and cook for 10 more. 

Voila, you will have the most amazing looking bread ever. And it will taste even better than it looks.
