Ditto. I just use flour as well.

I have dough rising now! I'm glad to know I can just use flour.

For those of you getting the book, you are going to have to give us all the whole wheat recipe--paraphrased, of course. So exciting!

I just got 2-2.5 gal plastic rubbermaid containers at walmart tonight. They are more rectangle shaped than a bowl but I think they will still work for a big batch. I found a blog with the challah recipe on it. My book is ordered but not here yet.

I forgot to mention how big this container is: 9.5 QT (38 cups) and the brand is "Lock and Lock" Found it at my grocery store...
It is PERFECT for this. It rises just to the top and then because of its shape it is convenient for storage in the fridge.

Well, I think if you truly measure like they say it should be pretty wet BUT they do tell you to be generous with the dusting flour when you shape it... and I think it helps. But I have done several batches and some were wet and some were dryer. I like it on the dryer side because it is esier to put in the oven. But this recipe is supposed to be freeform .... it changes shapes for me all the time from a "boule" to a more oval shape...


I am sorry I forgot to mention where I store my dough ....
this is a pic of what I mix it in and let it rise in and store it in. (less cleaning and much easier)





It is advertised as an airtight container but I do not "lock" it all the way I just close 2 sides. Maybe those who have a VERY wet dough have a container too airtight. You want a lid but not airtight.


And this is another pic of loaves I had made early on:



Those I think were unbleached white. The one in OP is whole wheat white.

I was wondering what size of container that was. I LOVE lock and lock and hope to get one that size to use. Right now I'm improvising. (It's working though! I just used some dough for our pizza tonight. Yum!)

Do you think regular Rubbermaids are "food safe"? I was concerned about what was in the plastic.

Thanks! I'll keep looking. I'm in Canada, so sometimes availability is limited.

I'm ing this thread!! I'm so glad that everyone is sharing the experiences (and fears) about making the bread. I use a bread machine but have never done anything free form like this.

Questions:
What is the consistency of your dough just after mixing before the rise? I was expecting something kinda sticky and wet, but mine is dense and firm like playdough (I'm using King Arthur bread flour... I wonder how that effects it. )

Also, has anyone used freshly milled wheat in their recipe? I'd love to hear how that went... if you had to make any changes, if your results were the same as what we've seen here. According to the book, it won't make as nice a crust (bummer).

Thanks, I'll check London Drugs. Walmart had Lock and Locks, but only smaller sizes (or a HUGE size, like with wheels (!) intended for heavy amounts of cat food, etc. I almost bought it anyways, but it was $30).

For now I'm just doing half batches, and that is ok...

I'm going to start a batch tomorrow with fresh milled flour. I'll let you know how it turns out.

*know* PP (#5) plastic containers are food safe, and (generally) non-leaching. But I could not get myself to purchase the 2.5 gallon squarish PP container today. I walked out with a 2 gallon glass jar. I will need to move a shelf in my fridge to get it to fit, but I'm o.k. with that.
