1 Mix till wet shaggy dough
2 Sit 12-16 hrs until bubbly
3 Shape & place in parchment
4 Cut a slash into top
What kind of cooking vessel can you use?
It has to be heatproof to 500 degrees F and must have a lid. A dutch oven casserole type pot or cast iron pot, turkey roaster or my favorite, a stoneware cloche baker.
other notes Don’t use Pyrex glass top containers as they could possibly shatter on you. Do use the best flour you can buy. If you buy King Arthur Flour you can be assured it doesn’t contain genetically modified wheat. White bread is fine in moderation, but try to use organic whole wheat for your daily bread.
Baguettes from noknead dough are easy to make if you chill the dough first and add plenty of extra flour when shaping.

blend as usual, but since dough will be extra moist you will just turn it out into a container for baking vs shaping it. I use a normal bread loaf pan with lid as pictured. Sprinkle the top with caraway seeds if desired.
