Your bread post and your banana bread muffins are among my favorite recipes that I've tried online. I call it the mellybrelly school of baking :)
I've been making bread using the basic recipe from Artisan Bread in Five Minutes A Day lately. Very simple, no-knead method. I don't think it's as good but it's quite acceptable given how much easier it is to make. Basically mix up a batch of yeast, water, salt, and flour. Stir together just until everything's moistened and then let it sit on the counter top to rise. After first rise is done, throw a lid on and stick it in the fridge. Whenever you want bread, rip off a hunk of dough, shape it, and let it do its second rise. Then bake. Great for making fresh bread in the middle of the work week.
