I did it in a similar way but used 100% wholemeal wheat flour. This kind is hard to get in our shops. We have all kinds of dark rye bread. <BR/>I remember holidays in Finland 1964. We lived in a farmhouse with an oven that was big enough to sleep on, and in very cold winters, they did. The farmer and his wife had 5 or 6 children, most of them grown up. We were 5, so there were about 12 or 13 people in the house. The housewife baked bread twice a week; she made 8 loafs on tuesday and 8 loafs on saturday plus 4-5 loafs white bread with cardamon seed, braided like a hair plait. The first loaf disappeared hot with the butter melting on the slices, when the grown up sons were in the house.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03005517826999307074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-27437545699450163292009-01-17T09:29:00.000-05:002009-01-17T09:29:00.000-05:00Please tell us about the cooking pot.

I have an island in my kitchen with a granite top just for kneading, though it serves more for placing stuff like fruit bowls etc.<BR/><BR/>I knead out my frustrations, anger, fear....you name it....into my dough, beating the heck out of it. Then when it's done we all sit and eat it.......LOL.......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-24278374571620046832009-01-16T11:47:00.000-05:002009-01-16T11:47:00.000-05:00That is just too weird!

I read the faster no-knead recipe and comments from other people that tried it and decided to give it a try. It turned out wonderful! I usually use my bread machine but wanted something more "rustic" and a nice crust to go with a hearty soup I had made. I'll be making this a lot! Thanks for the link!Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05012718481371649308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-68654008289593926442009-01-16T11:34:00.000-05:002009-01-16T11:34:00.000-05:00In all your posts of no-knead bread, I've never be...In all your posts of no-knead bread, I've never been inspired to try it myself.
