I've had this recipe for a long time. I got it out of some old cookbook. I love this because there is absolutely no kneading! And it turns out a great crusty bread. Suitable for pairing with soups and stews or just dipping in some spiced up olive oil! Also I have found that this bread lends itself well to adding different spices and ingredients per your taste.
