Our Bread Bakers group meets on the second Tuesday of each month and shares a bread based on a theme or ingredient chosen by one of the members.  This month my friend Sneha of Sneha's Recipe asked us to join her in baking No Knead breads.

May is normally a pretty busy month for me but this year it was even crazier as I was getting ready to go on vacation.  In fact, as you are reading this post I am soaking up the sun or enjoying life under the sea in Cabo San Lucas.

So, I decided to lighten my load a bit and combine these two events.  Off I went to Turkey, virtually unfortunately, to explore the no knead breads that they enjoy.  There were quite a few of them but I ended up choosing this recipe from Unicorns in the Kitchen.  I am so glad I did and you will be too.

Before I share this slightly adapted recipe with you, let's see what No Knead breads the others baked up for us today......
