This looked to be a pretty standard loaf, so I decided to play around with it a bit. Hoping for a rounder (i.e., taller) loaf, I decided to bake this in a dutch oven following the protocol used with no-knead breads. (Otherwise, I followed the directions as given.) As can be seen, I did get a somewhat rounder loaf, but I got a fairly poor oven spring and a somewhat dense loaf. (Up until it went in the oven, it seemed on coarse for a light, well-risen loaf.) Overall, this gave a reasonable loaf with a pleasant taste, but a bit too dense. I guess I'll have to shoulder the blame for that.
