24 hour bread

[glatt]

I finally got around to trying this recipe over the weekend. It turned out pretty good. Better than bread machine bread, but not quite as good as the best bread I've had from bakeries, which would be like $4 a loaf.

The only trouble I had was after the second rising, dumping it into the preheated dutch oven. It was a bit sticky and didn't want to separate from the floured wax paper I had wrapped it in. I pried it loose from the paper, but it lost much of its bubbles as I manhandled it. Next time, I would use much more flour on the outside to keep it from sticking to the paper so much. Maybe I'd throw it into a greased covered bowl or something instead.

Anyway it was pretty good. The crust was great. The bread was a little dense, but I think that's because I essentially punched it down as I removed it from the paper and baked it right away after the punching down.

Overall, it was very easy, and the results were good.
