But I have to confess; I used 1/2 and 1/2 whole wheat and white flour, I couldn't believe there was no sugar for feeding the yeast, so I added about a teaspoon, and I used a pinch of salt. At some point I thought of moving the stone and rack the the very lowest position in the oven because it COULDN'T be failing do to my altering the recipe) and VOILA! Puff! Very puffy! Oh, and on the no need to knead -- a few quick turns in the bowl are easy enough and it gives you a better sense if the flour to water ratio is right. Next time I will leave out the sugar (as an act of faith) and use the amount of salt in the recipe. Thank you, Pete! I just love your blog: wonder photos, good recipes, and fun in the kitchen.

Any tips for rolling out the dough without getting it stuck to everything?
