This recipe has a major error. When it comes time to stir vigorously, the dough is so thick that I can not drive a spoon into it. I’ve had some experience with other “no kneed” bread recipes, so added another cup of water (3 1/2 total) giving me a workable batter. Then I followed the recipe and the result was two, fine loaves of bread! However, stirring every 10 minutes for an hour is not much different from kneading, so why bother?

Impossible unless you add another cup of water (3 total). Then comes out fine.

With kitchen aid mixer, use paddle or dough hook?

Ok I made this bread with awful results. It was ridiculously hard to vigorously stir as the directions stated. My bread hardly rose at all. It was tough and stuck to my romertopf bread pan. Help, what went wrong?

Thanks for posting! It's always fun to see how far recipes travel!! This recipe appeared in the 50's in a cookbook of Favorite Recipes of Pennsylvania Home Ec Teachers. My Mom and I have made this numerous times in years past; it always turned out well. Thanks for reminding me, will have to try it again.
