I've tried it; it's not bad.  I wasn't too keen on the crust.  The
crumb had lots of holes in it, for those who like that sort of thing.

Do note there's a typo in the recipe; it's 1 1/2 cups of water, not 1 5/8.
The correct quantity is given in the accompanying video.

I wouldn't recommend using commercial yeast with it though, since the
long rise really magnifies the flavour of the yeast.  I didn't like
the flavour of the first loaf I made with it (with commercial yeast).
But it works fine with sourdough starter; basically just make your
normal dough but increase the hydration.
