15 years later and still the most effective recipe I've seen

I made this bread today and it is amazing -- better than any bakery bread I've ever enjoyed. Oh and by the way, this is the first loaf of bread I've ever baked.

This guy started it all and changed everything. I'll always be grateful to him for sharing his technique. It's a game changer

I respect him. By the 3.11 earthquake in 2011, more than 10,000 people died in Miyagi prefecture where I live. He made a donation for us. Thank you, Mr. Lahey.

Simply awesome... Especially at the end when Jim said... "MAKE SURE EVERYONE HAS THIS.. THAT's THE GOAL" Bravo Jim. And thanks Mark for introducing us to this fantastic human being

I have been making this bread for about a month now - thank you Jim! Fabulous crust and taste and the spongy texture is not to be beat - do not punch the bread down. I prefer to dust with corn meal instead of wheat. I bake 2 loaves, one in LeCruset (plastic knob does not melt) and an old dutch oven of my fathers as in Jim's video. LeCruset bread bakes taller. The whole thing gives me faith in bread once more. No more sallow loaves with wimpy crusts and no color. Bread machine now for sale.

This video basically changed my life. Thank you.

I have been using this recipe for four years now, it's always excellent! You can also make a lot of variations with different flours. I doubled the doses, and let it bake for an hour or a little more. I can't even start to think of how much money I saved on bread, Thanks Mark!

At the very end, Mark Bittman jokes about "stealing the recipe." 4:41 JIM LAHEY "Make sure everyone - everyone - has access to it." MARK BITTMAN: "We'll do that." JIM: "That's the goal." Jim Lahey - what a soul, what a mensch. He wasn't trying to make more money for himself or a better name for his bakery, which at the time was already well renowned. He wanted people to have access - that everyone could have good bread for themselves. Making food for people can be a spiritual practice. Bread fit for a king's table, which anyone can make, and for pennies - to possess this knowledge and share it freely with the world is a lesson in love and generosity. I doubt anyone imagined how this recipe would spread. The impact has been extraordinary. Jim's small act of kindness was like the little bit yeast sprinkled into the flour: given time, transformative. Think of all the meals, all the tables! This is the way of the prophet-baker, love arising from love.

I keep returning to this bread and sharing this video with friends that also want to give it a try. The most difficult part seems to be to get the right cast iron pot. Love love love it. Thank you Jim and Mark for sharing this with the world.

Doubled the recipe and baked one loaf this evening. I was very satisfied with the result, very satisfied! The crust is so crunchy and chewy, perfectly the way I like it. Oh my!

I went to a hydrogeology camp in the hills of Wisconsin where the professors wife would make this every day after classes. She used this New York Times recipe and I never realized there was a video version of this... Very cool and informative!

My bread turned out so good. Crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. Looks exactly like Jim Lahey’s bread. I’m so happy it worked out well 12 hours fermentation, shape the dough in a round shape, then the second rise I did only 1 hour fermentation I had a 3 qt Dutch oven that went into the oven for 1 hourOven: 450 and cook time: 30 minutes then 20 minutes with lid off

This recipe revolutionized bread making for the home baker. So glad that it's out there! I hope everyone makes their own bread!

Amazing recipe with amazing results. I have been using this for years and highly recommend it. Thank you Mark and Jim!

great recipe, been using for 5 years already. my observations on it: 15 hours fermentation with tepid water is the golden mark. instead of 1 fold and 2 hours proofing, i do 3 to 4 fold every20-30 minutes, within the 2 hour period. i find that it gives the bread a much better form and height, i also dont flour almost at all, the folding gradualy makes the dough easier to handle. 1 final touch i use lately - instead of putting the bread in the pot, i place the dough on my preheated baking stone and cover with the hot pot itself. that way i get the benefits of the stone, with the enclosed space the pot provides.

Adding the flour in the folding process is meant to further "feed" the dough and help the second rise bubble up again....Love all the variations and different experiences though-- do u not find the dough spreads too flat w/o the bowl to keep its shape? I started using a smaller Pyrex to make the loaf higher and am curious your thoughts. Thanks!

The dough, after sitting for 12 hours, melds into a bubbly pourable, wet dough. My dough pours out of the bowl pretty much how the video shows. If you go to about the 3:20 mark, They both say it goes into the oven with the lid on for 30 min and then 15 to 20 min with the lid off. The only thing I changed in the recipe was upping the salt to 1 1/2 teaspoons. Couple of tips: instead of using a towel, I use parchment paper to line a bowl. When it's ready to go into the hot Dutch oven, I transfer the dough, parchment paper and all to the pot. Makes for easy removal with the bread is done. I also score the top of the dough to allow steam to exit and get maximum rise. Give it a try! It's good bread.

And is it 300g of water or 320g? - I have seen both - claiming to be Jim's original recipe. I would really like to try it. I have my dutch oven ready and waiting.

Not 100% how I make my own bread, but maybe 90%. Been making it for years. This bread makes such excellent toast. Pan toasting (low and slow) for maybe 45 minutes (multiple turnings) until it’s melba is just delicious. My own topping preference is humus, lox and a bit of jam. Jim Lahey, your book really warmed my heart.

I have tried many different recipes and finally I have found super easy way to make bread at home thanks to you! Bread is delicious, I so wanted to try it instead of using dutch oven I don't have etc. I just used plain round oven dish, covered it with pizza pan and underneath (rack below) I have placed another dish filled with water (to create steam) it worked and I love it ;-) Thanks!

I have made this bread repeatedly and I love it. I have also dusted my dish towel with a mix of flour & wheat bran or flour and sesame seeds. It is so delicious. My friends and family always request I make it for family gatherings. You won't be disappointed.

Here's good trick. While your dough is still in your mixing bowl after the initial rise, take a spatula and turn the dough over on itself a few times. Next roll the dough out of the bowl onto parchment paper. After the second rise, use the paper as a sling in order to lift the dough into your cast iron pot. There's no need to remove the paper during the baking process. This saves a lot of mess.

I often add 1 cup of steel cut oats or 1/2 cup of 10-grain cereal to my bread recipes, with fantastic results. Once, I tried to imitate the multi-grain bread they sell at Walmart.

Then add a little more next loaf, and keep on until you arrive at your intended destination. Then enjoy your bread as is.

Best bread ever, Ive made it many times and its delicious. You may have to tweak the water amount and/or temperature slightly to suit your oven. You can add some fennel for a hint of rye bread flavor, throw some raisins and cinnamon/sugar on the bottom before you fold it up and my favorite is to spread a thick layer of brown sugar and melted butter paste over the top for the last 5 minutes. Awesome for grilled cheese, turkey sandwiches with fresh veggies and basil leaves from the garden.

To-date the bread has been dense and tight crumb. With this recipe, the large bowl was full the next morning (more than 3 times the usual size) and the dough very airy. Once cooked it was awesome! Going to add more folding in the 2-hour proving stage next

He's rather loose with his measurements, and that's not a bad thing really for beginners. If you want it done right, based on the formulation, start with a 70% hydration ratio by using a scale. In other words, if you use 1000 grams of flour, use 700 grams of water, and 20-22 grams of salt. His yeast is pretty much on target... I use a "sprinkling" and it works out fine. You could probably vary your formulation by 5% either way on the water, but pay attention to the salt...

I followed the instructions of this bread with these exceptions: Waited 19 hours and after shaping it into a ball, did not use any wheat bran seeds instead I put a bit of olive oil in bowl and let rise again for 2 more hours, then used parchment paper in the hot Cast Iron pot, put the dough in covered it and waited 30 min. at 500 degrees, then uncovered the pot and left it only 5 more minutes. The bread came out fantastic looked store bought!! Thank you so much for your recipe. It works!!!
