Is it thick compared to other peoples' no-knead breads?<br /><br />As for the crust softening up not long after the bread comes out of the oven, that happens to me, too - especially during our humid springs and summers (humidity is 80% today). I usually reheat our crusty loaves before serving (even if the bread has just finally finished it's 40 minute cooling/rest period, LOL), and that crisps them back up.<br /><br />You can also brush or spritz your bread with water before putting it in the oven to help crisp it up. I've never tried it, but lots of people do it. Some even quickly run the whole loaf under the faucet! : )Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-76271649814284558532009-04-29T16:21:00.000-05:002009-04-29T16:21:00.000-05:00Susan,

I've seen this recipe made using the dutch oven, and also in a caserole dish (with a lid). It's probably true for the majority of home bakers that a caserole dish is more easily available than a baking stone. (it's true for me. my kitchen is minimalist and I use a Cuisinart Convection Toaster Oven for all my baking).<BR/>TJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-53732196511257365632007-08-23T10:32:00.000-05:002007-08-23T10:32:00.000-05:00Hi Jenny,Congratulations on your delicious bread s...Hi Jenny,<BR/>Congratulations on your delicious bread success! Don't you just love it when a recipe (especially one for bread) is so forgiving? Thanks so much for taking the time to write. I may not always have a chance to reply to comments, or reply to them in a timely manner, but I read all comments and really appreciate the feedback, especially the ones about recipes. : )<BR/><BR/>Hi Molly,<BR/>I've had good success baking the no-knead bread without a dutch oven (though I've certainly been putting <A HREF="http://astore.amazon.com/farmgirlfare-20/detail/B00023CGJI/102-7570743-1388965" REL="nofollow"><B>my beloved dutch oven</B></A> to good use cooking all sorts of other things--I honestly don't know how I survived so long without one!). I baked it uncovered on a hot baking stone just like any other freeform loaf. The main thing I did was add enough extra flour so that the dough was firm enough that it wouldn't spread all over the place while the formed loaves were rising.

I can't tell you how many mistakes I made. From being at 74.5 degrees and letting it rise for at least 14 hours. From putting it in the fridge and then letting it only rise for 2 hours instead of 3 and part of those two hours included the rise after shaping, but not all of it. I probably added a smidge too much flour due to the mistakes. <BR/>I took it to a potluck and people were begging for this bread. By the way, served the bread with Vinegar Based NC style Pork BBQ and it was the PERFECT COMPLEMENT. It was sturdy enough to stand up to the juiciness without falling apart and tender enough to bite without tearing and dropping the food all over yourself. I'll be making this again!Jenny Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08065132535049460907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1169840418794676952007-01-26T13:40:00.000-06:002007-01-26T13:40:00.000-06:00You can make the no-knead bread without a pot?

I have even been giving no knead bread lessons! Although I have not been very precise with the measurements I hadn't thought to NOT use the dutch oven (I had been baking one at a time). I was very glad to find that the high altitude didn't have any effect on this bread like it does to other things, though.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07081680210434938456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1167583798799260772006-12-31T10:49:00.000-06:002006-12-31T10:49:00.000-06:00I love your 'Daily Farm Photo'I wish you a Happy N...I love your 'Daily Farm Photo'<BR/>I wish you a Happy New Year ! :-)Chanita Harel חני הראלhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12080280052001648455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1167578669400297722006-12-31T09:24:00.000-06:002006-12-31T09:24:00.000-06:00Very nice looking bread Farmgirl!I will have to tr...Very nice looking bread Farmgirl!<BR/>I will have to try this next time I make bread.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1167563180683652072006-12-31T05:06:00.000-06:002006-12-31T05:06:00.000-06:00Thanks for a great site.
