Thank you for Sunday’s recipe for No-Knead Crusty Boule. Not only is it ridiculously easy to make, it’s delicious and has a delightfully rustic texture. Rather than waste a piece of parchment paper, I gave the pan a light coating of peanut oil, and rather than contribute to the plastics waste in our coastal community, I placed a plate over the bowl while the dough rose.

Please inform your food writers that every kitchen holds plates, bowls, pan lids and dish towels that fit very well to cover a bowl of food without choking sea life!
