The recipe looks very similar, but with a little extra salt and a lot more yeast. I note that some of the comments referred to a "rubbery" crust. I suspect this would be fixed by the tightly enclosed Dutch oven cooking method, which generates a wonderful crisp and chewy crust. The extra flavour is I think a result of the long, long ferment. I think using a fraction of wholemeal adds flavour, also. I'll certainly give this one a try. I'm baking my version most days now - it's total cost, including electricity but excluding labour (5 minutes?)is around a dollar a loaf against the $4-$5 I would pay for my favourite Vogels and McKenzie breads at the supermarket.

Meant to get you to the master recipe and its variations so here it is. The whole site is interesting if you really enjoy breadmaking, and it appears you do. ;) http://www.artisanbreadinfive.com/?p=195 Darn!
