I've been making a loaf everyday, it just keeps getting devoured. I wish I had a nice bit pot like yours... I tried to bake mine in a crock pot I have, without realizing that the top was slightly tapered, I had to crush one side of the bread to get it out. I’m not tired of it yet!

Please drop me a note about where and when your show is! Jim D. and my husband Joe (and Joe's brother Jude) are good friends. I'd love to be able to peruse both of your goodies. travis - I'm not exactly sure why I requested the white pot (I told my mom last year that I would like to slowly accrue a collection of Le Creuset), but I figure that when I'm 80, they will show all the stains and burns and dings of a lifetime of cooking. The wild yeast is an interesting idea. I've read a few accounts of sourdough experimentation. It does seem to lend itself to that well. ann - I think having a big heavy pot is essential. And beyond the bread, it's the perfect thing for a slow-simmered bean soup or chili or, etc. etc. I made my second loaf with just a minimum of flour rubbed into the towel and then cornmeal and much preferred the cornmeal to the flour. I had WAY too much flour adhered to the bottom of that first loaf pictured above! kathy - I hope your whole wheat version comes out excellently!

I actually had to do that. I bought a 5qt Emile Henry clay pot. It was very expensive and is very heavy but after seeing what it did to that loaf of bread makes me just about the happiest woman in the world! Three cheers for no-knead bread!

That bread is magical! I think that bread bakers everywhere are alchemists to one degree or the other, but the simplicity behind that recipe is just genius. Whole wheat bread will be my next experiment, as well. Could this recipe be made by wild yeast? I would think that the wet dough and overnight rise time would be ideal for a sourdough culture.... So much deliciousness, so little life. Wow, that’s weird, those pictures could all be from my house, except my le creuset dutch oven is green….
