I know cheesecake can be a pain in the a**, but it's definitely a show stopper. I did a step by step recipe for it at my site - http://deglazing.com/2007/02/10/white-chocolate-raspberry-cheesecake-a-photo-tour/. Another thing that really gets people is flans or custards (minimal work, but very impressive). I vote for the cheesecake.

I can't knead a loaf as wet as the one in the recipe - it's just too sticky. But, the bread is wonderfully moist. And, backing it in a hot covered pot gives it a great look and texture. Just try it. If you feel an irresistible need to knead, work on your beloved's back for a bit. The great thing about the recipe is not the absence of kneading it is the goodness (and beauty) of the result.

People! Don't fear the kneader! Kneading is the very best part of baking bread! Okay, eating it with good butter is the <i>very</i> best part, but kneading a dough into silky, warm pliability is one of the greatest cooking experiences there is. No no no no no no no no NO!

Some sort of nice looking "craft" bread. I'd say go with the NYTimes, Bittman, no-knead boule. Can't fail, and the result is wonderful. Definitely bread. Some sort of nice looking “craft” bread.

Like I mentioned earlier, I find bread baking to be pretty forgiving -- more flour, less flour, etc. -- as opposed to something fussier like a pastry dough. Fen Tiger: Oh, that is a good idea. Or, maybe a choux pastry, like for cream puffs. Good thinking!
