Gary, you're right--a cup of water weighs roughly 226 grams. If you click on the grams conversion button in the No-Knead Crusty White Bread recipe, you'll see that scaled up, this recipe needs 680 grams of water. The 709.5 grams you used was likely too high of a hydration to get the results you were looking for. We apologize for any confusion, but the good news is this is an easy fix to make! Next time, just use 680 grams of water and you will be well on your way to getting the crunchiest-crackliest-chewiest-lightest, and hopefully EASIEST bread you've ever baked! Good luck and happy baking! --Kye@KAF
