almost almost no-knead bread
The other day I received my free issue of Cook’s Illustrated (which I’m totally going to subscribe to, by the way), and noticed an article on No-Knead Bread 2.0, “Almost No-Knead Bread.” I remembered reading about this recipe somewhere else recently, and thought I’d give it a try. I’ve made 3 or 4 loaves of no-knead bread using Jaden’s recipe the last few months, and though they were delicious, I was hoping to produce a more flavorful wheat version of the bread. Anyway, here’s what I came up with.
It looks fine, but the truth is, it didn’t rise properly. I don’t really know why. We chucked it. I think I will try again tonight. Any ideas about how I might have fucked it up?

It was heavy like a bowling ball, but closer to a duckpin ball than a 12 pounder. Very sad. I swear I followed the instructions exactly.

There’s a video on how to make this recipe here: http://www.cooksillustrated.com/videohome.asp?videoid=273#topOfPage. I LOVE Cook’s Illustrated Magazine and Website!

that’s such a good call - if i will watch the video before my next try, and at least i will know if my “bread” doesn’t look like it’s supposed to at each stage. thanks!
