    It looks delicious! I hope you do the regular yeast bread soon…thank you

    • Fr Vlad

      Katharina, the above recipe can be very easily adjusted to yeast. If using yeast, instead of 2 cups of water use 2 and a half cups to 2 and three quarter of water. Dissolve the yeast in water 15 minutes before mixing the dough and follow the above steps. Use one teaspoon of active dry yeast. Hopefully I will be able to do the yeast version in a few days. Many people have asked me for it.

    I’m trying this recipe next. I found your no knead sourdough bread video very helpful, and I am now making very good bread and very good pizza dough as well.
    Thank you for your excellent instructional videos!
