I blindly followed the recipe ignoring Reggie's comment about the 
lack of salt. Turned out well but I did not like the salt lack. Went 
back to the URL and found that the bread was advertised as salt free! 
So try it with some changes. Recipe calls for 1 ounce of active 
yeast! Here is my recipe:

2.25 cups AP flour
0.25 cups WW flour
3 tsp instant yeast (or try less)
1 tsp salt
1.25 cups warm water

Mix dry ingredients, add water. Mix to form loose dough. Turn out and 
knead for 10 min (or 4 min in stand mixer with dough hook). Place in 
oiled bowl, cover tightly, let rise till doubled.

Turn out on floured surface, flatten into very thin oblong and roll 
up like a jelly roll. Flatten again and roll out into a 1 in thick 
oblong. Roll up again then tuck ends together, pinching to seal, then 
roll around to form a smooth ball. Place this ball in the middle of a 
sheet of parchment paper, fold up the sides of the paper and wrap up 
in a towel so that it is reasonably sealed. Let rise for about 1 hour.

Place a large Dutch oven with lid in your oven and heat to 400 for at 
least 30 min. Lift the dough by the edges of the paper and place in 
the hot Dutch oven (use mitts!). Return to oven and bake for 40 min. 
Using the Dutch oven (adopted from no-knead recipes) avoids water 
spraying steps and seems to provide enough moisture.
