Lean Doughs

Lean doughs, which are made with little or no fat, comprise the world of bagels, baguettes and many other forms of non-rich breads. These breads are made using commercial yeast (instant dry, active dry or baker's yeast) and included techniques such as pre-ferments and "spiking." If you're using a natural starter, please post on the Sourdough Board.

1st attempt at Lahey's No-Knead as a Loaf

Lean Doughs

So one of the issues that i've been running into with the no knead bread recipe from My Bread by Jim Lahey (run and get it immediately if you don't have it), is that it's not great for sandwiches. The boule that it makes is beautiful beyond belief and delicious, but the inconsistent natural shape doesn't give you a lot of sandwich worthy height.
