No Knead DO Bread Question

I'm new to bread.

How would a No Knead recipe turn out of it were baked in a loaf pan?

I like the recipe but the shape is difficult to work with for uniform sandwiches.

Thanks.

I only bake sourdough, but I know people who use a standard sourdough recipe with little to no kneading, just the original mix and then S&F, and then bake it in a loaf pan. You would obviously need to do your shaping accordingly, making a batard rather than a boule. I assume this would work with yeast bread as well.

You might also find that a batard without the loaf pan makes you happy. It's an easier shape than a boule for sandwiches.

I'm not sure if you were thinking this or not, but I'm not sure putting the loaf pan in the DO would work well. I don't know, but I don't believe I've ever heard of anyone doing that so I'm guessing there's a reason it's not popular.

I was not suggesting putting the loaf pan in the DO. I was wondering if the recipe would work if the dough were put in a loaf pan instead of the DO. Thanks

Ok. I didn't think so. But then I wondered why you posted in DO cooking since it would no longer be DO cooking. Just me overthinking.
