    Recipe by Momoften: No Knead White Bread
    Not a good recipe IMHO be it as it may.
    Recipe rose nicely twice as per instructions. Had a shaggy look when risen and a jelly like wobble when xferred to oven, which was also expected.
    Top part of the loaf, above the rim of the loaf pan, flattened out when baked. Baked for full time.
    Never browned. Stuck to the pan.
    Let cool for an hour upside down in the pan. Then it released. Pan had a sticky doughy coating and feel to it. Loaf did not have that hollow sound when tapped.
    Plopped them back in the pans and baked for an additional half hour at 350F instead of instructions first bake temp of 325F. Again the loaves stuck to the pan. Again after cooling for an hour upside down, the loaves released. And there still was that sticky doughy film on the pan.
    Loaf was hollow when tapped and springy and soft with none of that sticky doughy film on the dough as what is on the pan. Loaves are only barely slightly wanting to brown.
    Reminds me of the bread mother used to bake and make sandwiches from when brown bagging us to school. It was eat or starve.
    Lots of larger holes in the bread but none large enough to let any spread leak through. It's sort of like the nooks and crannies of English muffins.
    Think I'll stick with kneaded bread.
    Glad I stuck a drip pan under the loaves as they oozed out during baking. I'm thinking the bread pans should be larger but I used 9x5 pans.
    Maybe this is a recipe for baking a large single loaf in a saute or soup pot.

    She deleted all of her recipes. Probably another victim of the pre-this-version of GR.
