In an effort not to be wasteful, I decided I would try and use the whey from cheese making as the liquid medium in a loaf of Bittman's food geek sensation no-knead bread. And the verdict? Um, no. I'm not sure if there was too much heat in the whey and it killed the yeast or if there is something else chemical but, despite a pretty crust, my rise got nowhere fast. Back to the original rules and water in the bread for me.
