Doubling No-Knead Sourdough Bread Recipe - Yay or Nay?
I use the no-knead recipe from: Newe Start Farm: http://www.newestartfarm.com for sourdough bread. It makes a one-pound loaf. If I double the recipe, should I it as one large loaf without extending the baking time? I usually bake the one-pound loaf at 425 degrees for 30 minutes with the lid on (after pre-heating the pot) and then another 15-20 minutes at 475 without the lid.
Divide the dough before the bench rest and make two loaves if you want to keep same bake times. Otherwise a larger loaf will require longer bake time.
a longer baking time at lower temperature. (Start with the usual, then bring it down 20 centigrade or so after 10-15 minutes).
