Wow, I was not brave enough to attempt that recipe, although ladies I knew when growing up did make them, in an oaken bread tub, keeping a piece of dough to use as the starter the next time around. I will be definitely interested in your experience.

Please educate me on this oaken bread tub. Making bread is my passion.
I have wanted a grain mill for years. Dream come true. Got to love eBay. I did research on the internet to see what I wanted. I got a "brand new" vintage grinder. It is probably 30-40 years old.

Basically it's just a big bowl carved from oak that is used only for making bread. See a mention of this in the story towards the bottom of this webpage, this lady actually used a half-barrel:
