Ive made the 3 hour version too. It's pretty good but not nearly as good as the original, since the long, slow rise gives the bread such a fantastic flavor.

The original version isn't a pain at all. It's very, very easy. You just have to plan your time a little bit.

The short recipe is also at the New York Times website. It's called "Another No-Knead Bread" (i think).

I made this a while ago & decided it was more trouble than it was worth. There are dozens of forums that discussed it when it first came out. My main problem was with the timing. I couldn't start it on a day before I had work, or if the kids had an afternoon event sort of thing.

Also, I made mine in my dutch oven & I think it was too big.

The wheat turned out good--just had two warm slices with butter. I looked in a bread book and it said to use 2 to 1 mixture (white flour to wheat flour) so that is what I did. Next time I am going to try a little more wheat. The onion dill was very good--except next one I will add a little more dill weed. I used that and onion flakes. I just kind of eyeballed the dill. My bread book says to use dill seed, so maybe I will try that next time. I am having fun with this right now and I figure I am only losing about 50-75cents if I really don't like it.

Yum, homemade bread is always good. How did the wheat turn out? What did you use for the onion-dill?

Best Home Made Bread

Posted: Jan 12, 2008 1:17 PM
Hi everyone,
Just thought you might like to try this no-knead bread. It is fantastic. It comes out with the best beautifully browned crust. The only thing is that you do need a very heavy covered pot as the article says. (I use a ceramic coated cast iron). I am now experimenting with this. This morning I made a onion dill bread and right now I have a wheat bread rising on my counter. If interested here is the web site:
