Runner-up: Mark Bittman, whose no-knead bread is as easy as he makes it sound, and also comes out as good as it looks in the NYT pictures. Just make sure to take the suggested amount of time. Good bread requires patience.

Some day I'll work up the gumption to do a sourdough starter. Apparently it stinks to high heaven, but goddamn it would be worth it...

I have never had a new sourdough starter get more than mildly funky. If it's stinking, you aren't discarding and feeding often enough. Do it twice a day, and the funk won't be strong and it won't last more than a week.
