Maruizio Leo runs a great blog called "The Perfect Loaf." His Beginners Sourdough Bread is fantastic. It doesn't require traditional kneading, just gentle "Stretch and Folds" over a period of time. You first mix just the flour and water and let it sit for an hour or so (an "autolyze"). Then you do the Stretch and Folds every 30 minutes for the first couple hours. After that, you let it proof at room temp for a while before moving it to the fridge for slower overnight proofing. You bake it the next morning. It's really good.
His blog is excellent. He's a smart guy and a good writer, plus whoever does his web presentations and videos is doing great production work.
I stopped making bread. It was too good. I ate too much of it.
That brings to mind the NYT no-knead bread recipe that caused such a stir a few years ago:

It’s so easy that it feels like cheating and the results are pretty amazing.
Thanks! :)
