If you like to do bread, but don't like to deal with the fuss, check out Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day. It's basically a high moisture, no knead dough that lives in the fridge for up to a week. You mix the ingredients and let it ferment in the fridge. I don't care for sourdough much, so I find 3 days to be perfect. But there's enough dough in the basic mix for four 1-pound loaves. You just pull out what you want, shape, let it sit a room temp for a while, and pop it in the oven. Super crusty, very flavorful.

With that much fermentation, you don't get hardly any rise from the yeast. It's all oven spring, so when you shape, you want to handle it as little as possible or you'll work out too many air bubbles in the dough.
