The song of the sourdough

If you put your ear very close you can hear a wonderful crackling noise coming from the crust of a bread that just came out of the oven.

If you put your ear too close it will hurt a lot.  That's the dutch oven.  It's about 450F.  I don't recommend putting your ear too close.

This was the nytimes no-knead recipe with about 200g of my starter in place of instant or active dry yeast.
