    I'm going to make this.

    Can anyone convert "all purpose flour" into Australian for me please? Is this "plain flour"?

    I would guess yes.
    I use the same recipe, but with bread flour, so you can use that if you have it.

    This is not new, it's from a 2006 New York Times video by Mark Bittman,

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13Ah9ES2yTU&feature=youtube_gdata_player

    ... Or search "new york times bread" or "making no-knead bread Mark Bittman" on youtube.

    Voila, there's your stream of pictures.

    I have done it with a ceramic pot, not having a cast-iron one, until I noticed that the ceramic one was starting to fracture. That's because you heat it up so hot and then throw the reelatively cool dough into it.

    I then stopped making this bread because a) it's white ('unhealthy') but b) more importantly, this bread is absolutely superb fresh, but it doesn't store well, when you have to store it for a while it gets a tough gummy texture.

    There is a special kind of bread roll traditionally made in parts of Southern Germany (Schwaben/Swabia) using the same principle, i.e., essentially using dough that was fermented with yeast overnight and simply cutting off pieces and baking them as-is, not destroying the texture that has formed. These bread rolls (called 'Seelen') have the same property, they are very crisp when fresh and can get this rubber-like texture when a bit older.

    I use my enamel-coated dutch oven, or a Pyrex casserole dish. I never use spray. It never sticks. It really is no-hassle! :D

    If you're worried, though, you can use some parchment paper.

    Thanks for the NYT article. I got the recipe last year from another blog. While it isn't new, it's still share-able. :-)

    It really doesn't store well, you're right about that. However, it DOES make very yummy breadcrumbs for use in meatloaf or as a topping for casseroles. This is especially true if you use some combination of savory flavored ingredients. I imagine it also makes yummy croutons, though I haven't tried that. I usually just slice whatever is left the second day, dry it out, crumb it in my food processor, and freeze it.

    Yes, do some experiments and share the result, stating the altitude you are making at it!
    I somehow have it in my head that yeast dough should rise faster in high altitutes, although I can't tell you where I got that from. Possibly the idea that higher altitude -> less air pressure -> gas expands more , and what is happening in a rising dough is gases being produced.

    Maybe you need only 12 hours of proofing?

    Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!
    I made mine with whole garlic cloves, fresh basil from our garden and mozzarella cheese. Let it sit for a little over 24 hours, then baked it today as a side to some home made creamy tomato basil soup. It was a HIT :)

    "Bring Up My Post" .... basically it's like a marker, a response to the thread that puts it in your "recent posts" list.
