* **Introduction:** Mentions Jim Lahey, owner of Sullivan Street Bakery in New York City, and the recipe's origin in the New York Times in 2006. Highlights the ease of the process and the "spectacular loaf" it produces with a "crackling crust, open-holed crumb, light texture." Emphasizes the "unique baking method" using a covered pot to trap steam. Notes the need for forethought, as the process takes about 24 hours.
* **Partnership/Advertisement:** "For the first time ever, Mark is baking bread you can buy and enjoy at home. Meet Bittman's — whole-grain sourdough, made the old way, naturally fermented, frozen at its peak, and delivered straight to your door.
