This is based off the no knead bread developed by Jim Leahy and published in The NY Times by Mark Bittman No-knead bread is a method of bread baking that uses a very long fermentation time instead of kneading to form the gluten strands that give the bread its texture. It is characterized by a low yeast content and a very wet dough. – courtesy Lorne Feldman
