I know every time I post about bread, I say something like, "this is the best bread ever!" So maybe I'm overdoing it? But I recently tried this No Knead Dutch Oven Bread from Mother Earth News, and it is pretty awesome. The inside is so moist, it's almost "eggy" - except there are no eggs in the recipe. The outside is a gorgeous and crusty. The only drawback I can think of is that you're limited to the round shape. But I cut mine into fourths and then sliced the fourths, so it made nice triangular sandwiches.
I've sort of ignored the no knead stuff for awhile, because I don't really have any problem with kneading. It was interesting, and easy to do, so that was good. But the dutch oven is the real cool factor.
The recipe is basically a french bread recipe, and the dutch oven creates a similar steamy-heat environment of a bakers oven, so this made the best french bread that I've ever made, and perhaps the best bread altogether?
I'm planning on making all my bread in the dutch oven now. You should too. Here's a good video of Mark Bittman talking about no knead bread.

I havent tried this recipe, but you may want to look into Mother Earth News 5 minute Artisian Bread. It is a no knead bread as well. I have made this on a baking stone and loaf pans and its great! Be warned though your need either dough hooks for you mixer or strong arms to get the flour all mixed in.
The recipe I used was from MEN. Love it!
