For this recipe I would use about half a cup of starter. I realize it's not a true sourdough bread without the starter - it's sourdough style, and with a 24 hour rise time it certainly starts to get that personality. I always replace about a third of the bread flour with whole wheat, and that also adds depth of flavor. Happy baking!

Hello Zach. I followed your No Knead Sourdoug video. My bread turned out good and tasted pretty good but the crust was hard and the inside was a little tough. The inside of bread had white dough pockets scattered all through the bread?? Do you have any suggestions?? Thanks.

I used:

5 qt Lodge dutch oven, 4 cups pillsbury all purpose unbleached flour, 2 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp instant yeast, and 1 1/2 cups water. cooked @ 450 deg. 30 min w/ lid 25 min w/out lid.

good advice with using old pots if you dont have a cast iron one.

however, stainless steel will give off toxic gas once it reaches a hot enough temperature. i don't know what that temp is but it could be in the 500 range. better Wikipedia it.

I've made the Mark Bitman receipe more than 50 times so I was eager to have a sourdough version. However, this is not sourdough this the same receipe. It creates a very nice crusty loaf but again not sourdough and a lacks a little depth. Nancy Bagget's no knead method in "Kneadlessly Simply" equally easy but a bit more depth of flavor.

Does anyone know if you can use this same method but replace the yeast for sourdough starter? If so how much?

Great Video!!! I've been doing no knead baking for over 2 yrs. I try different flours and pots and also apply the method to pizza, focaccia and ciabatta breads. I have the cast iron pot like in the video and just got a Romertopf clay pot. I find the clay bakers make a better bread from experience. This is one of the better videos I've seen, thanks, as I still enjoy watching the videos.
