user: Can you give me an easy recipe for homemade bread? The recipe should require no perishable ingredients or use of appliances and should rise overnight, so that I can bake fresh bread in the mornings.

assistant: Bonjour! I would be delighted to share with you a recipe for homemade bread that is both easy and delicious.

Ingredients:

*    3 cups of all-purpose flour
*    1/4 teaspoon of instant yeast
*    1 1/4 teaspoons of salt
*    1 1/2 cups of water

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Give it a good stir.
2. Gradually pour in the water, and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Cover the bowl with a clean dish towel, and let it rest at room temperature overnight, for at least 12 hours.
4. The following morning, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a Dutch oven or cast-iron pot with a lid in the oven to preheat as well.
5. Once the oven is hot, carefully remove the pot from the oven and sprinkle some flour on the bottom to prevent sticking.
6. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape it into a ball. Place the dough into the pot and put the lid on.
7. Bake the bread covered for 30 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crusty.
8. Remove the pot from the oven and carefully remove the bread from the pot. Let it cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Voila! You have made a beautiful and delicious loaf of homemade bread. This recipe should be perfect for those who want to avoid using any appliances or perishable ingredients. The overnight rise allows the bread to develop a deep and complex flavor, and the crusty exterior and soft interior make it an irresistible treat. I hope you enjoy this recipe! Bon appétit!

user: I'd like to make a ciabatta bread instead. Could you help me with that?

assistant: Of course! Here's a recipe for homemade ciabatta bread that requires no special equipment and also rises overnight:

Ingredients:

- 3 cups bread flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 1/2 cups cool water

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the bread flour, salt, and instant yeast.
2. Gradually stir in the water until a shaggy dough forms. It will be very wet and sticky.
3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 12-18 hours.
4. The next day, generously flour a work surface and scrape the dough out of the bowl onto the surface.
5. Using a spatula, fold the dough in half and then in half again. Do this a few times until the dough begins to hold its shape.
6. Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.
7. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a baking stone or inverted baking sheet on the middle rack to preheat as well.
8. Dust a piece of parchment paper with flour and transfer the dough to the parchment. Gently stretch and shape the dough into a rectangle, being careful not to deflate it too much.
9. Cover the dough with the towel and let it rest for another 30 minutes.
10. When the dough is ready, use a pizza peel or inverted baking sheet to transfer the parchment paper with the dough onto the hot baking stone or sheet.
11. Bake the ciabatta for 20-25 minutes, or until it is golden brown and crispy on the outside and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
12. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

I hope you enjoy making and eating this delicious ciabatta bread!
