Eric
I ran out of the Barley malt syrup called for in Ed Pillitteri recipe for Sicilian no-knead bread and substituted 2 tablespoons of honey. The result was lighter in color and sweeter then that produced with the original ingredient list. All who tasted it found it very pleasing and some liked it better.

Hi Arlene. Thanks for your comments. I haven't delved into wheat or gluten free baking to date. The internet must be short on related info as I'm asked that quite often.

Thank you for all the info. on breadmaking and the videos are the best. I am allergic to wheat and I have used your no-knead method using 100% rice flour—The taste was very good, the crust was perfect but the interior was dense. I tried using 100% unbleached spelt flour, it was not successful. I tried Bob’s Red Mill no gluten, no wheat bread flours and the result was better but still heavier than I would have liked. Do you have any recipes for bread that is gluten/wheat free? Maybe one of your readers may have some ideasl. Thank you again for all you do….Arlene

Finally, I baked this recipe, wow what a delicious bread! I found the dough is a bit more wet and sticky than I am used too. But this is my first no knead bread. My oven does not regulate temperatures well, it will surge to 500 at times. I had to monitor it for the entire 1/2 hour bake. The crust just started to get a burn, I had to tent it with tinfoil.

Thanks for this excellent recipe that willl be baked often.
