Impossible

The impossible has become reality.  Today--after a huge crack appeared in my one-year-old car's windshield--
I
MADE
BREAD

After so many failures in a lifetime of disaster--remember the "no knead bread, so easy a third-grader can make it"?  Remember the many failures of sticky disaster?  Last week I ran across a recipe that called for exactly four ingredients--flour, yeast, salt and water--and specifically said, do not knead.

And despite my mistakes like leaving it to rise for an extra hour and accidentally dumping a pile of loose flour into the baking pan and covering the second rise with a damp paper towel which the dough stuck to like glue...
I baked it and...
it looks, smells, and tastes...
like bread.
