Here's a recipe for a great start to any sandwich, a nice loaf of homemade Parisian-style crusty bread that requires no kneading!
Combine and whisk together the following dry ingredients in a large bowl:
3 cups all-purpose or bread flour
1/4 tsp of dry yeast
1 1/4 tsp salt
Once evenly combined, add in 1 5/8 cups of warm water (the water should be the right temperature for the yeast you're using, which is usually lukewarm or room temperature), and stir until a wet dough is formed. Cover with a towel and leave in a warm place for 12 to 18 hours to rise.
After 12 to 18 hours, lightly flour your hands and take the dough out of the bowl. Place it on a floured non-stick surface (like a Silpat), and form into a ball. Flour a cotton towel and place it over the dough. Leave it to rise a second time for 2 to 3 hours.
Preheat a large pot in an oven set to 450 F (leave the pot in there it for about 20 to 30 minutes to make sure it's nice and hot). Once the pot is hot, gently slide the bread off the non-stick surface and into the pot. Bake the bread in the pot in the oven with the lid on for 30 minutes, then remove the lid and continue to bake for 15 minutes more.
Done! Lovely hot, crusty Parisian style bread, perfect for any sandwich.

Interesting. Please do.
I have no friggin clue where to get saffron. Here only the rich and pretentious use it. Which are you?
Low-end Safeway markets carry it for God's sake, where the poor people shop.
Of course this is just the backward crappy unsophisticated USA.
