No-Knead Harvest Bread

Plan ahead for this easy bread—an overnight or all-day rise gives it terrific flavor. For the best crust, bake in a ceramic bread crock, or a covered clay baker. Walnuts sometimes give this bread a faint purple tinge. If this bothers you, use pecans instead. Using High-Gluten Flour, with its higher protein level, allows this bread to rise higher than it will with all-purpose flour.
