I have a confession to make.

I honestly have nothing intelligent, witty, or inspiring to say about this loaf of bread. I’m just hoping that by spending a few minutes posting a picture of it, I can hold off cutting it until it is cool enough to touch without risking a burn.

Yes, I made it. Yes, it’s a variation of Mark Bittman’s No-Knead Bread recipe.

I’ll post some links to the recipe… but not until I’ve had a huge chuck of this particular loaf smothered in really real butter.

Or two.

Yeah. I’ll have two chunks.
