Anadama Bread

Unlike many others, I disliked this recipe. It was easy to put together, and the overall taste was fine, but I found the texture completely unappealing. As a result, I will not make this bread again.

My in-laws on Cape Ann, MA introduced me to anadama bread. When we're not visiting them, the only way for us to have anadama bread is to make it ourselves. I've tried a few different recipes which I like, but I do appreciate the no-knead simplicity of this one. This recipe gets the fragrance and texture right. It feels a little odd to bake the loaves in bowls rather than standard loaf pans, and it makes loaves a little crustier than I'm used to, but we still love it.
