No-Knead Bread - Part 1

A while back I picked up some instant yeast from the grocery store with the intention of trying out my Mother-in-Law's No-Knead Bread recipe (from her Minimalist Cookbook). I've made many quick breads and beer breads but never anything with yeast. This one seemed like a simple enough recipe and a good one to start with.
Mix the dry ingredients:

Heat water to 120 degrees:

Pour water into dry mixture and stir until fully moistened:

Scrape dough from the sides of the bowl and cover, leave for 8 to 18 hours:

When I get home from work today, I'll be baking bread! Watch for part 2 for the final results :)
