Jim Lahey, your no-knead method has been pwned! Pepin is the man.

Teshie,
No mater what I do the center turns out gummy. I’ve tried less water, more cooking time, less salt it’s getting better but still gummy. Any suggestions? I would appreciate any help you can give.

Stephen : I’m wondering if your gummy center has to do with the yeast. Have you checked the date on the package, and proofed it to make sure it’s viable? If so, maybe try increasing it. All the best, Dave.
