No Knead Bread Not Rise So Good?!

Posted by uaskigyrl, October 13, 2008 at 1:08 AM

Soooooo, I tried to make the No Knead Bread for the first time....aaaaannnnnndddd....it didn't turn out so well. I followed the recipe I had to the T but for some reason, it turned out really dense. It smelled like bread, it looked like bread, it tasted like bread, but it didn't rise like bread. Actually, it didn't rise at all. I know that it's supposed to be a really "wet" bread but this was straight up watery. I have just ventured into the world of baking (cooking has always been my thing), so if anybody can tell me what I possibly did wrong, I would very much appreciate it! The ingredients I used are below:

3 cups bread flour (I used Gold Medal: Better for Bread)
1/4 teaspoon instant yeast (I usedFleischmann's BreadMachine Yeast)
1 teaspoon table salt
1 1/2 cups warm water (I used luke warm water from the hot water tap, I didn't boil it in a tea kettle)

Please help, I want to try it again because I love home-made bread! Even if it's as easy as buying different ingredients.

As always, it's been a pleasure!
