Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | We tried this

Joe and I made this Friday/Saturday and it's delicious. It all worked pretty much like the recipe said it would. We let it rest for the full 18 hours.

I went back and reviewed the video and have made a modification to the original recipe where I describe folding it after it rests. The baker actually pats it out a little so it's like a really, really thick pancake, then folds it into thirds front to back, then into thirds side to side - sort of like getting a letter into a really small envelope.

I did find that the dough stuck to the cotton towel after sitting on it for 2 hours - I don't know if I'll try more flour on the towel next time and maybe just let it sit on the floured counter and cover it with a towel.

We cooked it for 30 minutes covered then 22 minutes uncovered. It looked great - nice little air pockets inside and a wonderful crackling crust - but the inside was just the tiniest bit sticky still. When we make it again, we're going to crank the temperature up to 500 degrees. Although the recipe says to bake it at 450, the video says 500 so we'll try that.

The color is gorgeous and the flavor is delicious - this bread has the nicest touch of "Anheuser Busch brewery tour" yeastiness to it. And it really is ridiculously easy.
