Man I gotta tell you, I've recently been really tight on money, but I wanted to have nice bread so I could keep using it for meals. That way, I can at least have something to look forward to in these cheap makeshift meals I'm having to make now. I went out and bought some flour and yeast and looked up easy recipes on Google and clicked one of your videos randomly. I'm so glad I did because it started this whole bread making journey, I've been looking forward to getting off work just so I can go home and make a baguette or somethin lol. My friends love it when I just randomly give them part of some fancy bread they've never tried too, keep it up!

[@mikewurlitzer5217]

Tried this and it came out beautiful. The ONLY issue was the 2.8 gram {1/2 tsp} of yeast, with 65F water and 70F room temp this loaf doubled in just 3 hours and lifted the cover I had on the bowl. That was at 10:00 PM. At 1:45 AM, I had to put it in the fridge because it almost tripled. Let it proof the next day for 2 hrs and baked it. FANTASTIC.

An outstanding variation on no-knead bread! I didn't have any KAF bagel topping so I made my own from pan-toasted sesame seeds, poppy seeds, granulated garlic, Thai fried-red-onion crumbles, and crunchy salt. After the overnight rise, I shaped and put the loaf into a Dutch oven and then refrigerated it while I went to work for the day. My wife was happy to help out by putting the Dutch oven into the cold oven at 4:30 pm and setting it to 475, so easy! I arrived home in time to monitor the final browning. Mmmmm, perfect! After dinner, I sliced up the whole loaf and froze it. The next morning, I thoroughly enjoyed toasting (and eating) two slices right out of the freeze. Thank you, Martin!

Second attempt more successful than the first one which had turned out well. What I am finding with this bread is that it’s pretty hard to over proof it. This morning when I looked at the overnight rise, it was really bubbly on top and it was jiggly even though I had a 60 degree dough. I went ahead with the shaping anyway even though it was kind of soft but I got it pulled together and into the pan. I baked it and it rose up a little bit better than the first one which hadn’t been so over proofed. Such a great recipe. So easy. 😊

[@kugeldog9458]

I made this today, and had some problems with the dough. I tried to follow Martin's video, and didn't use much flour on my bread board. The dough remained sticky, and it didn't hold its shape. So, I gave up trying to shape it, and put it in my Dutch oven as a large, sticky blob. I called the King Arthur Hotline, and was told not to take it out and try to reshape it, but to just leave it in the Dutch oven, and that it probably would be fine. After two hours, it had risen beautifully, and passed the indentation test. I gave it an egg wash, sprinkled the topping, and tried to score it like Martin did, but the scoring didn't hold. (The cuts filled in and the dough went right back to its unscored shape.). I put it into my cold oven, baked it for 50 minutes covered, and then another 5 minutes uncovered. The end result was that the scoring didn't separate much. How I could correct these problems in the future? Does the lack of separation affect the texture of the bread?

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

Hi there! We're sorry to hear that your bread didn't turn out quite as expected. While this is a slack dough, it sounds like the dough was a touch too wet which will make it hard to shape and score. It's likely that there was either a measuring error (too much water or too little flour) or a different kind or brand of flour was used. This recipe calls for our Bread Flour or High-Gluten Flour, we wouldn't recommend substituting in all-purpose flour or another brand of flour with a lower protein content without reducing the amount of water. A score mark not opening up won't effect the texture of the bread, the purpose of scoring is to provide an intentional place for the steam inside the loaf to escape from as it bakes. We hope this can help for future bakes! -👩‍🍳Morgan

[@kugeldog9458]

I used King Arthur Bread Flour, and weighed it and the water. Is it possible that I over-proofed it? I was concerned that my kitchen was too cool, and I put it in my oven for several hours with the light on, but no heat. It tripled in volume.

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

Thanks for sharing that additional info! Yes, over-proofing sounds very likely here, when a dough over-proofs it will be hard to manage and lose its structure. When a recipe has a longer rise like this one, a cooler room temperature is generally OK as the yeast has a lot of time to work. -👩‍🍳Morgan

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

Hi there! Pat the top of the bag to avoid spillage, then use a butter knife to slide along the underside of the first fold. Once that fold is open you should be able to easily open the package without creating a hole. Gently tapping the outside of the bag along the way will help keep the flour contained, rather than creating a plume. Happy baking! -🍮Nicole

@@KingArthurBakingCompany Can you replace the yeast about a tablespoon of starter ? Or does this demand extra action ? curious about Vic's second starter version

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

Hey there! It'll take a bit of extra time for the dough to rise and a few other adjustments. Typically when converting a recipe from commercial yeast to naturally leavened, you want to make a sourdough build with about 30% of the overall recipe flour. To do this, multiply your total flour weight by 0.30 and add an equal amount of water and then add 10-20% (of the 30% flour weight) of ripe sourdough culture. Allow the mixture to ferment 12 -16 hours at room temperature. When you perform your final mix, remember to remove the flour and water weights you used for your sourdough build and to omit the yeast. Because sourdough ferments at a slower rate, you will need to adjust your fermentation times and go by how your dough looks and feels rather than time alone. We hope this can help and happy experimenting! -👩‍🍳Morgan

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

That really depends on the protein content of the particular semola you're using! But that can vary quite a bit, so it's information you'd need to get from the particular maker of your flour. In general, the more protein, the more water it will absorb. But honestly, your dough will tell you what it needs. You've felt the original, so add your water slowly and stop when it feels right. -👩‍🍳Kat

Hi there! You could shape this loaf and bake it freeform on a parchment lined baking sheet, it'll likely spread outwards a bit but it'll still be a delightful loaf!

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

We're glad you're enjoying our videos! Yes, the baking time will be shorter but you'll want to double check that your baking vessel can go directly into a hot oven, sometimes ceramic or stone bakers need to be preheated with the oven. With the cold oven method the shaped loaf rises in the baking vessel while the oven preheats so you'll want to let the dough rise at room temperature before baking which will ensure you still get a nice tall loaf .

I measured with a scale, I used a thermometer for the water, and I put in refrigerator covered for 14 hours, but I don't think it had doubled in size. I used a cast iron pot (8 inches on bottom). It seemed sticky when I added the toppings. When I opened it after 50 minutes, the surprise was that it wasn't as risen as yours. But when I let it cool, it was so tasty! Could I be using too big of a pot? Should I have waited a little longer on the second rise to see if it would have risen more? Are there any tips you can give to indicated if the dough is proofed enough so that it does rise when baked?

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

Hi Lisa! A vessel with an 8" diameter on the bottom shouldn't be too big. It sounds like the proofing time was the issue here. Since the dough was in the fridge, it likely needed a bit longer of a rest at room temperature during step 6. When the dough is well proofed a slight indentation should remain when you gently poke the unbaked oaf with your finger. Hope this can help! -👩‍🍳Morgan

Hello Martin, nice to greet you. I have a question. When you put this bread in the pot (which, as I see, is cold) and let it rise for 2 hours, then cut it and put it in the oven, do you preheat the oven or put the pot on and then turn on the oven? Because what I saw in this video is that you put the pot on and then the temperature settles, which indicates to me that the oven is cold and not preheated as it should be when you make a loaf of bread, and that is my doubt that I hope you can clarify it for me since I want to make that delicious bread but I have that question about baking.

Martin, can I add some of my sourdough starter to the mix and cut back on the yeast for some aded flavor?

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

Sure can! Or you can keep the yeast the same and use discard starter, since that's usually easier on the schedule. 😊 -👩‍🍳Kat

Can this recipe be done in the KA's gluten bread bread flour.

Hi, Kelly! You can use this recipe developed with our gluten-free bread flour and include everything seasoning, if you prefer: www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/gluten-free-artisan-bread-recipe. Happy baking 🧡! -🍮Nicole

[@toddsmith235]

I must say, this recipe is delicious. I've made it 3 times in the last week and I have a 4th one proofing. My only gripe is my dough is really slack. It doesn't hold a nice tight boule shape. It just kind of plops and fills up the dutch oven (touches the sides). Not sure how to fix this. I'm going to attempt doing a few stretch and folds before I let it rise in the pot to help it develop some strength. Any advice is welcome.

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

We're glad you're enjoying this recipe! You're welcome to experiment with adding some folds to the dough, we would recommend doing this during the bulk fermentation, step 2. You might also just need to mix the dough for longer while during the mixing stage. We hope this can help and happy baking! -👩‍🍳Morgan

[@cynthiadvorsky950]

I stretch and fold my no knead dough a couple of times during the proofing time.

[@dko3623]

Could I bake it in a regular bread loaf pan using the cold oven method?

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

Hi there! A bread loaf pan may be too small for the size of this dough. This may work with two pans, if covered accordingly for the rise that happens in the pan. -🍮Nicole

[@dko3623]

I just tried it and it worked! After letting the whole batch of dough rise overnight, I split the dough in half. One half I put in a standard loaf pan, let it rise and then baked it for 30 to 35 minutes. I put the other half back in the fridge. When the first loaf was done baking, I repeated the steps with the second half of the dough. It worked out well.

We're so glad to hear that! Enjoy! -👩‍🍳Morgan

@@KingArthurBakingCompany One more question, if leaving the dough overnight for 8 hrs or longer, what’s the room temperature ? Our house is 76 degrees at night, should I leave it in the fridge? Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

The ideal temperature is right around 70 degrees for room temperature proofing. You may find that your dough proofs more quickly at 76 degrees and can opt for refrigeration if you'd like to slow down your rise. -🍮Nicole

Just made the dough, does the recipe take into account the salt content in the everythign seasoning? I hope it isnt too salty because i used the last biut of seasoning i had and it may have had a lot of salt settled at the bottom..

When i snipped the dough it deflated a little and didn’t recover in the oven. Would it better to snip after shaping when there s some tension in the dough?

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

Hi there, Gaye! It's best to score dough right before it goes into the oven so that the gases created in fermentation don't have as much time to escape. If your loaf is collapsing from scoring it's likely because the shaped dough is over-proofed. We'd recommend shortening the second rise a bit. Kindly, -👩‍🍳Morgan

Can I substitute normal flour for Almond flour? As a diabetic...that would be perfect for me.

Before choosing a flour, we recommend consulting your physician. As for this recipe, almond flour would not perform for a yeasted dough.

maybe dumb question but I am newer to baking :) Would this work in a 6 quart Dutch oven instead of the smaller one shown in the video? Would I need to adjust anything? Many thanks!

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

Hi, Marianne! No dumb question - we're here for all the questions! Your 6qt is just fine. 😊 The only difference will be the shape of the loaf, as the dough will fill out to those edges. As in the video, check your loaf at about 50min, and then bake from there until the color is that gorgeous darker color. 🍞 -🥐Lily

Can whole wheat flour be used instead of white? Thanks

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

To add whole wheat flour to this loaf, I'd start with swapping out maybe 200g of the flour with whole wheat and seeing what you think of the texture! From there you can adjust up or down for your next loaf, depending on how you feel about it. Happy baking! -👩‍🍳Kat

can the crock pot be substituted with an aluminum foil cover and a baking pan?

[@lisavalon2533]

I tried to this recipe again, this time putting it in the cold oven overnight. I let it rest for 11 hours, then I worked it but it was very sticky. I still worked it a little but it wasn't firm like in the video. After 2 hours it's still a little wiggly. I had already put the toppings on so I'm just going to pop it in the oven and see what happens. Should I have worked at a little bit more and let it rise again?

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

Hi there! Just to be sure, were you using the King Arthur Bread Flour or Hi-Gluten Flour called for in the recipe? it sounds like your dough is behaving like it was made with a lower protein flour. -🍮Kat

@@KingArthurBakingCompany I am using King Arthur bread flour. I used the scale and measured out 660 g. After 12 hours it had risen so much It was sticking to the cover of my largest glass container. I put it on my work service with a little flour put a little flour on top of it as well , but it felt very sticky. I didn't want to incorporate too much raw flour. I tried to pull it in to create a ball, but it was still very soft. Should I have worked it until it gott more firm (as it would if I kneaded)?
