    Butter a loaf pan and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and beer and mix well. The mixture should be sticky. Pour into the loaf pan and bake for 55 minutes. At the last 3 minutes of baking, remove from oven, spray the top of the loaf with butter spray generously and return to oven.

    I wanted to come back and say, this was SO easy and SO worth it. I made my dough Tuesday about 1 p.m. and let it sit until about 5:30 yesterday for a total of about 16 1/2 hours. I then used the folding method as per the breadtopia link below, letting it proof for another 15 minutes. I ended up using my crockpot ceramic insert, as it was the biggest heat-safe pot I had with a lid. Same baking method: pre-heating the pot at 450, baking covered for 30, then uncovered for 15. The apartment smelled ah-mazzzing, by the way. Love that fresh bread smell. The only issue I had was the bread sticking a bit to the bottom of the pot. Next time, I'll be using parchment paper. Other than that, it turned out gorgeous with a great taste to boot. Already a hit with the hubby! I can't wait to try some other flavor variations :).

    And a pic, because I honestly can't believe how pretty it turned out!

    Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!
    I made mine with whole garlic cloves, fresh basil from our garden and mozzarella cheese. Let it sit for a little over 24 hours, then baked it today as a side to some home made creamy tomato basil soup. It was a HIT :)

    That is awesome!

    I Did make some adjustments and it turned out just great. I added 2 extra TB. of flour per cup and 2 extra TB. of water per cup. I also found that with my oven I needed to bake it just a few extra min . to get it to be as brown as I wanted. Also to answer the Questions about what kind of pot--- I used my old " Princess House" cookware which is ceramic.

    This is really easy and possibly idiot proof!! I mixed the dough up on a Saturday morning. Then when I went to bake it the next day it seemed too wet. I then realized I only put half of the flour. So I figured I would add the rest of the flour mix it some and let it sit for another 3 hours or so. I baked it 3 hours later in a pyrex dish fully expecting it would not work but it turned out great!

    This bread is the best! I've made it with one c. flour substituted with ancient grains flour, or a whole wheat flour, and it's great. I've made it with roasted garlic cloves and fresh rosemary... also great! The possibilities are endless!

    Also, the King Arthur Flour website has a bunch of no knead recipes that I haven't tried yet, that look great. I'm looking forward to trying the rye :)

    If i don't have a oven safe cooking vessel with a lid, can i just use a double thick aluminum foil lid? or just flip another similar size container on top ( of course I would need to be extra careful moving things around as the "lid" wouldn't be secured in any way)? or a regular plate (I have Correlle dishes)? or a cookie sheet? Any one have other ideas?

    I've got one waiting to be baked when I get home. Ive swapped out some of the flour for rolled oats that I've food processed a bit, and I've added some mozzarella cheese and bacon sprinkles. Can't wait to see how it goes.
