Hey Tony, I tried this bread in a very disbelieving frame of mind, but the results are amazing! Particularly living in a country above the wheat line in Europe where there is no good bread to be found…..

Here is the recipe: a little different to yours in that after mixing the ingredients and initial rising for a couple of hours at room temperature, the dough is placed in the fridge overnight. The recipe is fairly exact however and you can’t deviate!

happy carb loading…

I’ve also had really good luck with this recipe. I found it works better in my 4 qt stainless steel pot, make a nice high loaf. I’ve also had a lot of luck adding things like rosemary, raisins/cinnamon/walnuts/brown sugar, flax etc. Your “crumb structure” is much nicer than mine though. I have crumb envy.

Mmm, there’s nothing better than good crusty bread with fruity olive oil! Good idea to add that touch of balsamic vinegar as well (very nice photo!). But I suspect we’ll stick with olive oil only, not having access to the black gold you have.

My brother-in-law was just raving about this no-knead bread a couple of weeks ago. Like you, I was (and I confess, still am) a skeptic about the technique. Not to mention that I actually like kneading.

The only thing that I still wonder about is whether the crumb is overly moist. Did you slice into it when it was still hot out of the oven or did you wait til it had cooled and then reheat it?

Your blog is making me hungry! Which says a lot, because I just ate a very large dinner.

Good stuff here! I can’t wait to read more.

This bread looks amazing! We had an Italian dinner the other night at home and we dipped our bread in olive oil, Parmesan cheese and pepper. Always a favorite of ours!
