'It feels as if I am a magician. The combination of ingredients creates something far greater than the sum of their parts, and it is thrilling.' edithzimmerman writes on the joys of making bread
Photo: Edith Zimmerman On a whim I made Mark Bittman’s classic No-Knead Bread on my own birthday, and I wanted to share that it is the most fun thing! I have ever done!! I can’t express this enough!!!
It feels as if I am a magician. The combination of ingredients creates something far greater than the sum of their parts, and it is thrilling. I felt immediately connected to whichever original people accidentally invented baking. I thought, “Holy crap, what have I done!?” And then it was so delicious! And warm! I dipped it olive oil, I spread some butter on it, I tweeted about it, I emailed about it , I immediately started writing this document. It cost $5 for the flour and yeast, and I have enough to make several more loaves.
The recipe is famously easy — all it requires is “forethought,” as Bittman puts it, since it typically takes about 24 hours to complete, almost all of which is waiting around for the ingredients to quietly do their thing. The main thing is the first step, which is so easy it is criminal. Criminal, I tell you! I still feel high from the glory of this bread. I mean, I am. I am high from this bread. You mix flour, salt, yeast, and water, and that’s it.
It feels like I have a pet, or a child, or something. A real creation! What a marvel. I wrapped it up in a little blanket afterward, and I keep going back into the kitchen to look at it. I cannot believe that so many people have been doing this the whole time! The world is filled with wonders, never forget!!!!! Make some bread today!!!!!!!! So that you can have it tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
