I'm sure that I did something wrong, because what I got was less bread dough than a thick batter, but it baked up beautifully (I didn't spray it -- I put a pan of water in the oven with it), looked weird, tasted WONDERFUL.

Thank you, alanbostick! This is my first experience baking good bread. Not just *edible* bread, but really good. YAY!

I've got a cookbook called "No Need to Knead" which has a whole bunch of recipies for extremely wet bread dough. They all bake up with lovely moist crumb, and chewy crusts.

Many of them start with a sourdough starter (which I currently don't have around) and an overnight in the fridge rise.

The one I've made most often is a focaccia, which is the best simple bread recipie I've ever found. A few ingredients, some mixing and smushing onto a pizza stone, bake. Lovely.

Sounds lovely! I'm gonna look it up. Thanks.

Are you baking from his starter? That man bakes the very best sourdough I have ever tasted.

Yeah, he gave me some for my housewarming in April or May, and I only just got around to using it. It rocked!
