So here's the story. A few nights ago I went to bed around 9 o'clock and got up at midnight for a bladder break. I thought I'd check my iPhone to see if a predicted storm was still coming and I noticed I had a few new emails. I saw that one of them was from the KAF site which I had recently discovered and I "accidentally" opened it. It was about your no-knead crusty white bread recipe of the year. I had never looked into no-knead bread before thinking it used some special kind of flour or gimmick and couldn't be very good. But I thought l'd quickly check your blog about it and get back to sleep. When I finally looked at the clock it was 4:12 AM. I had been reading your blog for four hours! It's like trying to put down a good book, you just can't stop reading. Convinced that I should try this I put together half a batch yesterday following the recipe and stuffed it into my refrigerator. Today I baked 15oz of the dough and it turned out beautifully at 6450 feet in Sant Fe. When It was cool enough I sliced off a piece, put on some butter, took a bite, chewed, shouted "oh my God" and danced around the kitchen. (I'm a 76-year-old man so it probably wasn't a very pretty sight.) I have been trying to learn how to make this type bread for several years. It is absolutely wonderful and superior in every way and is exactly what I wanted for soups, stews, garlic bread, sandwiches and just plain eating for starters. I am now ordering your 6 quart bucket and cleaning out my fridge (way past due) to make room for it. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I just baked the rest of the dough tonight so I could take a loaf to my girlfriend who is sick and staying with her daughter in Albuquerque. I wish I had discovered your site several years ago instead of several days ago. What a wonderful friendly company, website and blog. I love you folks even if you are causing me to lose sleep and put on weight! 😀👍🏼
