Okay, this recipe is made of awesome, and it really works.

Basically, you make a wet, sloppy dough, let it set for eighteen hours or so, shape it, throw it in a heavy preheated covered pan, and bake it.

Substitute time for effort. A fine idea, but still too much bother. The bread machines produce a good product with a minimum of trouble. Good, but not great. When I want good bread, I'm still going to let a professional do it, and pick it up at the bakery.

Trust me, this is a LOT better than anything that ever came out of my bread machine, and I don't have to find counter space for a huge frickin' machine.

Fair enough, but I'll note that doesn't appear to be your (or my) attitude to beer.
