This recipe really surprised me! Right before I put it in the oven I thought that it looked too flat and that there was no way it was going to work, but with the high heat and the steam it puffed up so BIG! It was beautiful! Right before I put it in the oven I dusted with flour and scored a picture of a wheat stem with a razor and it looked so pretty! This is going in my keeper file. Thank you for the recipe!!

Just popping in to say I have made this bread about a million times (Okay not a million, but almost…) and consider it one of my go to simple recipes for something yummy and easy to make. It’s hard to wait the 12-18 hours to bake it, but so worth it. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

Warning it must be instant yeast! If you Use regular it is very watery…but I’m still going to bake it!

Thank you so much! This recipe (& all the comments) got me started on my adventures in bread making, some of which have gone much better than others. This is my no fail recipe which has earned me numerous compliments (one from a cousin who is a chef). Thank you again!

Holy cow! I’ve never made bread before so I was nervous, but it was sooo easy!!! Some of the best bread I’ve ever had! Next time I’m going to try adding some rosemary or some good cheese.

This recipe is to die for– it is so easy, but everyone thinks I’m some kind of amazing baker when I bring it to events!
Here’s a couple modifications:
I put the whole mound of dough in a small round Le Creuset-type pot, buttered. This contains the wet dough to get a rounder, higher loaf. I bake it for 30 minutes. SIMPLY amazing!!!!

This recipe came out perfectly! I’m still learning to bake bread, so my family was a little skeptical to see what looked like a giant, wet and sticky mass of dough rising on our countertop overnight. But after baking, they thought I’d run to the grocery store and bought it! Absolutely fantastic, I’m making it again tonight – it’s so easy!

This is a great bread recipe. I don’t think mine got as lofty as the photo, but it was still full of good holes and fantastically chewy. My son loved it and declared it the best I’ve ever made.
