Hi Janice,
I’ve made this bread and it’s really delish! I was wondering if I could use sourdough starter instead of yeast? Do you ever use sourdough and if so, how much for this recipe? Thx in advance and thx for sharing such a great recipe too!

I've been baking your C-R bread for about 3 years. It's one of the best bread recipes I've used and the only one I use with cinnamon/raisin. I've made a few minor adjustments along the way...added 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and replaced white sugar with maple sugar. The loaf lasts only a couple days unless I halve it and store it in the freezer. Yah it's as good as it gets in 'bread-dom'. ?

I do not have a Dutch oven, can I use a loaf pan?

In reply to Marie. Hi Marie! I'm glad your bread turned out well and that you liked it. I used room temperature water. It certainly wasn't warm. Neither was the milk I used. From what I can tell, a lot of no-knead bread recipes don't suggest warming the water (even though the yeast companies tell you to warm the water). I guess maybe it has to do with the long rest time of the bread. Thanks for stopping by to leave a comment!

I was confused as to whether or not the waterr needed to
Be warm. I did not and the bread turned out fine.
I have baked a few plain loaves with warm water.....
Just curious..
The bread is very good.....
Thank you for the recipe...

yeah, get the Doc's, you won't regret it 😉
oh and the bread....yeah, one of my favs, almost too easy?
feels like cheating, but cheating with butter slathered on top is heaven.

OMG, it looks amazing and so easy! Have you tried adding other ingredients such as chocolate or chopped nuts?

hi Janice, love the recipe, but it came out in 2006, not 2013.
