Bread turned out excellent, BUT you lose 1 star due to it needing water even if you have a thin starter which I did (used my own starter made with fresh cake yeast. I probably used 1/4 cup lukewarm, but if your starter is thick you would definitely need more in order to incorporate 2 cups of flour. I bake bread ALL the time just never baked a sourdough bread. Great recipe with a little added water. DO NOT incorporate all your flour at once. This makes a small but beautiful loaf. Next time I will make double the recipe. Temp and time are pretty much right on 50 -60 minutes.

This recipe is awful unless you are trying to bake brick weapons. There is no such thing as a no-knead bread. I have tried to use it several times before finding something better. Always came out very very hard the crust is almost inedible- no matter how much I babied it. This recipe might work with an added half hour of kneading but I give up trying. :(

Yum. Turned out beautifully. Crispy crust and chewy middle. I must be careful not to eat the whole loaf now. It is a pretty looking loaf!

This recipe is terrific, and verrrry forgiving. I forgotten to start my sourdough bread for a family dinner, so I tweaked this one to make it work in a hurry. I used my mature starter, added 1/2 tsp yeast, & a touch of honey to speed up the process. I let it rise for about 15 min (beside a space heater while my oven preheated. It kept rising once it was in the oven, and turned out beautifully & perfectly yummy in 50 minutes!!

I had to add water to the dough as my sourdough is thick. It was a small loaf so I thought an hour and 5 minutes was too long to bake, but I did it anyway. The bread is soft on the inside and crusty on the outside. It is delicious! I think it is the best sourdough bread I have baked since I bought my sourdough. I will bake again.

A good, basic sourdough. The whole house smells great while this is baking.

Like corbratsche, I add the liquid slowly, I have made this twice, and it always came out delicious. Besides measurements being precise, don't over knead the bread.
