... with the Banneton / Brotform advice.  It worked out perfect.  This loaf is cooling right now, but I will update with another picture after I cut the loaf open.  I can't wait to throw some ham on these slices!  Can you imagine this with some Welsh Rarebit? Oooo.... I fond of the Fondue, do you?

that I would love to taste it right now. I like to use whole grain rye flour home milled in almost all my breads. Right now I am at a business trip in Northern Germany and I had opportunity to eat great rye breads. Your looks really delicious.

Happ baking T.Fargo,

  I was in Germany 3 years ago for my niece's wedding and also for my wife's and her twin's (zwilling!) birthdays, not my first time there, but miss the Weizenbrot.  And the Pretzels oder Laugenbrot, und der Donauwelle, und... okay, the list is long :)

Safe travels!

And what a way to break in a banneton with such a lovely bake. 

I love Spelt and Rye with all those add-in and have bookmarked your recipe.

  Made it with levain, but I need to strengthen it with a few more feedings.  I also want to adapt this to a bagel recipe, as  a colleague of mine raves about the sourdough bagels he used to get in Cali while in the Navy. Thanks for the sound advice, once again.

 the loaf with some cornmeal and placed parchment over, then the pizza peel and inverted the whole thing clamped together.  The same technique is used when unmolding flan, sticky buns or an upside down cake.

I never thought this is possible for a no knead loaf.

... in the recipe; is this to be read as fresh, active dry or instant dry yeast? Thanks in advance.
