You know what I want to make? Just a good loaf of bread. I just don't have any place to knead it, though.

Thanks for more potato ideas!
Could you knead it at the table where you eat? After kneading it takes a half hour or so to rise, then a half hour or so to bake, more than enough time to clean up the kneading area?

I have made this bread and it worked well, even though I used about 75% whole wheat flour. There is almost no kneading and what there is, you do in the bowl that the bread rises in. The bread was pretty good, but I didn't like what it did to my cast iron Dutch oven. It also got a bit burnt at the bottom, so if you do make it, I would recommend putting a cookie sheet or sheet pan on a shelf below the bread to deflect some of the heat away from the bottom. I may try his method that doesn't use a Dutch oven.

Now the Chantilly potatoes recipe isn't the recipe I had before. When I went back to get it one day, the page had disappeared. So this is what was on the internet. Actually, Allrecipes found it for me. I have it on my list to make next week, but I don't know how it compares to my other recipe, which was heavenly. But its worth giving it a shot.

I got tired of that kind of thing happening. Do you use Copy Me That? This is one of the reasons that CMT was started. If one of the recipes I have saved there goes away, I still have the whole recipe and I can find it anywhere I have an internet connection and a web browser.

You can knead a single loaf right in the mixing bowl that you stirred it up in.

You could also go with a simple no knead loaf. Most no knead recipes are a bit more dense and are usually better eaten fresh from the oven which has never been a problem for me.

This is one of many simple recipes.
