No-Knead Bread: My Way | The Girls' Guide to Guns and Butter. I am going to show you how I make my no-knead bread. Well, technically it’s not really “mine” – I got the recipe from my friend Corina (and, simultaneously, from my other friend, Jennifer), while the original appeared in a New York Times piece several years ago.

Never had any trouble with this old stand-by, though…oh, except for when I tried to make it whole wheat. No go. It’s also the basis for a frittata, another dish that is easier than you’d expect.
