So I made these again after my major disappointment with the first attempt... and I'm pleased to report, the 2nd batch was a HUGE SUCCESS!! I used the same 50% WWW and 50% AP flour as I did the first time. I let everything sit for 30 minutes before beginning the "no knead" process to allow the water to absorb into the flour. I reduced the water to the minimum amount but found I had to add back a little bit more as I went along (although I didn't wind up using the full amount listed). I used my KitchenAid with the paddle beater to mix on speed 1 for 20 seconds versus the manual lift/fold technique. I lightly floured my board for the final shaping (versus oiling). All in all, a smashing success & I can't wait to do it again!
Wahoo! So, good to hear. I love your persistence. Elisabeth
