Is this Mark Bittman's column?

I am curious how the gluten develops without kneading.

I have heard rave reviews of it from other places too. Will try it soon ...

I used bread flour. Others have used just AP. The sponge rises for the 12-18 hours it sits on the counter. It is lovely to smell.

We had some tonight with EVOO at our tailgate and let me put THIS bug in your collective ears.
This bread would make KILLER paninis!!!!!

The smell is amazing. My bread is doing the 2 hr rise, right now. I sure don't have any seams though. Mine is like the blob. Hope I didn't do anything wrong.

It can be longer than 2 hours but just don't expect a BIG rise. It isn't. There just isn't enough "structure"--or yeast!-- to do that. This is a shallow dense loaf with all the good "pulliness" of peasant bread. It is also more moist than most breads--but it is really done.
Prepare to be amazed!!

I'm really looking forward to serving this tonight. I can't believe the smell - kinda sourdoughish.

I wonder if this recipe could be cut in half.. because the biggest heavy pot, I have is a 4 quart pyrex???
