This is the first no-knead recipe that came out wonderfully for me! Thank you! I had quite a panic over the softness and stickiness of the dough (ok, so I cursed and almost cried. I'll admit it) so I put it in a pan I have like the Italian Loaf Pan and used the parchment too. It made some cute little baguette type breads (this is a halved recipe):

Now that I'm familiar with the feel of the dough (oil on my hands worked better for me than water) and know a few tricks, I won't have to curse and/or cry.
Most importantly, it's delicious! We ate it with our Big Sunday Dinner pot of gravy (tomato sauce to the non-Italian Americans) and penne, home made roasted peppers, and Grana Padano cheese. My husband is eating it toasted with butter for breakfast as I write this. Yum, yum, yum. I'm definitely trying it with a big, sloppy hoagie (sub) or yes, meatball sandwich next.
I also appreciate the history lesson. :)
Gosh, I love making bread, and King Arthur has so much to do with that. I really do thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Oh, my - I'm so sorry we made you curse and cry! And glad you got through the process, "know" the dough, and can enjoy the rolls going forward. Thanks for the picture - they look just right. Your description of your dinner sounds so familiar - I've been enjoying dinners with those components for well over 35 years (though my in-laws simply call the gravy sauce). I have a pot of meatballs/sausage in "gravy" in the fridge right now, left over from yesterday... Thanks for connecting here! PJH
