I'm telling you right off the bat here, that as far as personal innovation goes in this article, there's not all that much. All I'm doing here is taking someone else's brilliant idea and breaking it down for you a bit, offering a few suggestions and other applications.
That said, I've never seen what I consider to be a really satisfactory explanation of the science behind the No-Knead Bread recipe, so I'm gonna try and fill that hole here. And what cool science it is.
In 2006, Mark Bittman introduced the world to a recipe from Jim Lahey of Sullivan Street Bakery, which had a whole bunch of home cooks opening up their Dutch ovens and exclaiming oh my goodness—I can't believe I just did that! It certainly had me thinking that.
The No-Knead Bread recipe became an instant hit, and, I'd be willing to wager, started off an entire generation of home bakers on an entirely new journey.
Here's how the recipe works: combine flour, yeast, and salt in a bowl. Add water and stir with a spoon. Allow to sit overnight. Shape into loaf and allow to rise. Bake in a preheated Dutch oven.
That's it.

A loaf is coming out of the oven this morning! Love the stuff. :)
Breadcrumbs is a superb idea, too. :)

‘Taste if Home’ is out of Wisconsin. Reiman Publishing. I used to get their magazine, but now I just find their recipes on line. If I find ANY of their books at the Thrift Store, I always grab them. ;)
I’ve found that I can make ANY bread I want in my bread machine, but I just use the dough setting, then transfer it to a loaf pan or baguette pan, or whatever is needed, after the rising time in the bread machine. Works great, less mess. No hand work or messy kitchen counter. ;)
