I did not make this bread but but as I read over the ingredient list and technique I thought it is very similar to America's Test Kitchen 'no-knead bread', the slight differences being in the amount of yeast and white vinegar and kneading technique. I make the ATK version several times each Winter for 3-4 years and it is without question the best bread anyone can bake at home and maybe better than your favorite artisan bread source.<br/>When I dust the top with flour and after I score the top I lightly sprinkle kosher salt or course sea salt on top and lightly press it in to add a texture and brightness to the flavor.<br/>Spread a slice with an unsalted European style butter like Plugra or unsalted Land o lakes. surprisingly.

I got The Bread Bible as a gift about the same time I lost my job. Perfect! Now I have discovered that I love baking breads and rolls. So I work as a consultant from home and use our boat for fishing and crabbing mostly.
