Some great suggestions here. I’ve found if i put the dough in my oven, with only the oven light on overnight, it works well.

I made a video for Gardenfork on Jim Lahey’s Sullivan Street Bakery No Knead Bread:

Another thing you can add/substitute: whey

After making some basic ricotta cheese I froze the leftover whey in ice tray cubes. Now I take a few out of the freezer and substitute 1/4 of the water with whey when I make bread. Adds a slight sourdough taste to the bread.

Just in case, some links on cheese -

That’s really smart. We also learned that you can basically throw ANYTHING into this bread. Nuts, cheese, olives…

I tried this bread after much bad luck with bread. I am not a skilled yeast baker, but this loaf was a snap. I was off on the timing slightly and it still worked just fine.

On my 2nd try I added 1/2 c ground sunflour seeds (10 sec in a cleaned coffee grinder–stale bread first works great to clean it out) and 1/4 c ground bran.

I hightly recommend this substitution if you are looking for something a bit heartier than white bread, but less heavy than whole wheat.

THANKS for the recipe

PS Buying seeds bulk and grinding them yourself saves the wholefoods 300% markup and packaging.
