I do that but without oil, milk and dough hooks, I just mix it in a bowl with a knife, then top it onto a floured surface and bake in a covered dish so it gets that steamed crusty crust.
Going to give this a try tomorrow as I am sick of fluffy cake like bread - want a chewy, holey, more natural loaf that hopefully is more filling and natural. I dont mind leaving it to rise for hours so will leave the sponge mix as long as I can. I dont have a beater so will need to mix it for the 8 minutes by hand (errk! ) will try anyway. Looking forward to giving it a go.

Try the 'No knead Ciabatta" recipe on youtube I have been using it for a year or so now and its so easy and brilliant bread.

Must agree with you beaker59. I made the 'No knead Ciabatta' for the first time last week and it is so easy and tastes great. It is going to be a regular in our house from now on.

Toadfish... Make the same bread, but grind some sunflower and pumpkin seeds to add to the flour and wholemeal flour in the mixing stage. . I also add a few seeds pressed into the top. . You'll know the bread is ready (about 40mins) when you tap the top with a knife and its hard... The other thing I like to add is my processed dried rosemary to the flour... I have the recipe for a larger amount which makes 4 x loaves and can simply be left covered in the fridge for 2 weeks. . chop off a quarter as required and ready in about 40 mins while your cooking dinner. . Just enough time to cool on the rack lol:}
