I was shown this bread recipe in a TikTok by the user @williamcraft09, and after seeing how easy it was, I knew I had to give it a try. It’s since become my go-to bread recipe because I can basically start it and then forget about it and nothing will go wrong. It requires no kneading, and no expensive mixer.
