Pretty weird. It is more labor intensive than the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2006\/11\/08\/dining\/081mrex.html?_r=1&#038;oref=slogin\">no-knead bread<\/a>, but it&#8217;s hard to compare the two, since they produce vastly different breads. The rice cooker bread is more spongy (but not spongy like injera, so <a href=\"http:\/\/allbuttonedup.typepad.com\/\">Melissa<\/a>, you don&#8217;t have to freak out) and chewy. It&#8217;s not like a rustic artisan loaf at all. I found it kind of a hassle to knead the dough in the rice cooker pot, so I did a half-hearted job, but the thing still rose. I also had to cook it a bunch of times, since my rice cooker, which uses fuzzy logic, thought it was a really small batch every time and thus timed it accordingly. In the end, though, it produced a pretty tasty, edible little puck. Kind of a fun experiment.
