You're proof of the flexibility of the no knead techniques. I've not used a dutch oven yet but read plenty of accounts of others saying they do prefer using a smaller size, one that will shore up the edges of the dough resulting in a more desirable shape. Plus I would think confining the steam from the baking dough within a smaller space would be beneficial. I can't remember what that optimum size is, but I seem to recall something closer to 4 quart. Good luck and let us know what you end up doing. Eric Hi Bob,

It had a really nice crunchy crust (from the cornmeal?)but the interior was a bit gummy. I, unfortunately, did not remember to use my instant read thermometer. However, not a piece went to waste. And I didn't share very much! I cooked in a 12 quart cast iron Dutch oven and I think perhaps part of my problem was that the oven was too big for the amount of dough. Do you have any experience with size affecting the product? I have my scouts out looking for a smaller one now! Oklahoma I did my first no knead from your sourdough recipe last weekend.
