Bread in a Pot

I baked some bread yesterday.  It turned out pretty good.  I found a recipe here.  It's called the no time bread.  It might have taken me less time, but I didn't have all the tools I needed.  For example.  I don't own a Dutch oven.  I had to use a pot and cross my fingers and hope it didn't burn up.  Also, I don't have a mixer.  I did all the mixing by hand, and that took some time.  It got me to thinking about my grandma's mixer and wishing I had it.  She had one that sat in the corner of her kitchen counter and I can still see it sitting there, in it's mixing glory.  But - I have none.  So out came the wooden spoon and my scrawny arms.  I did, however, mix it in her yellow pyrex mixing bowl.  That helped some.  All in all, it was a faster baking bread, but not as fast had I had the mixer.  Either way it turned out nice.  


I talked to my mom on Skype while I was getting it all together and she told me to take a picture when it was done.  Well, I was so excited to try it out that I forgot and didn't realize this until I had it half way sliced.  So I shoved it back together.  I think it even looks good sliced.  That little corner that's missing was my taste test.
All in all, it was a good bread recipe.  My pot didn't burn, I managed to mix without a mixer and it tasted pretty good.  I'd say it was a success!
