Guys, I'd like to make bread tonight with dinner. Am i too late as most recipes are no knead and require 15-20 hours resting. Anyone have a quick (couple hours or so) that i can whip up a batch of bread? Not really looking for a "loaf" of bread more artisan style where i'll cook it in DO or right on pizza stone. Thanks in advance.

    Most bread recipes I know of require a bare minimum of 3-4 hours rise time, then 40-60 minutes or more baking time.

    Nothing comes to mind right off that could get you from flour to bread in a couple hours.

    hmm.. maybe i should wait on this then. I'd rather do it right than rush it and make not so good bread...

    Thank you Patty, although i think maybe i'll hold off on the bread tonight. That recipe looks very similar to a loaf MountainGriller did. I'd like to make the one he had made in his DO. Looks perfect. Thanks again, i will file this for future though.

    Here's the thread i was referring to...

    That's very interesting, preheating the dutch oven. I may try that one. Yes, yeast takes a long time. The longer the better. I learned yesterday at the Pittsburgh fest that most pizzarias proof their dough for three days. Some eggers keep it for a week. I had no idea. I let it rise for 2-3 hrs and baked.
    Thanks for the recipe. Happy baking.

    Jimmy, Its too late now but I just got back from camping and baking in a dutch oven with briquets and sourdough. About two and a half hours for bread from mixing to slicing, no cooling. No, it wasn't on an egg but it was fast bread in a dutch oven. The trick is an active starter. I have been baking for a while, 20+ years. Generally, bread needs time or planning or both. Bread can be incorporated into a life style-- "Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day" google it. You can have a starter that just needs to be warmed and fed. "Straight" bread, no starter is usually a five hour slog.
