Recipe and techniques
I am so making this tomorrow. We're going to a friend's for dinner, and I'll take it along.
Bread is always welcome!
It's so pretty! I can't eat it! But it's pretty!
In the oven now. I think my yeast was a bit ancient, so the rise wasn't great. I've been making sourdough for the last 4 years, so that yeast just sat in the back of the fridge. Fingers crossed...
How long should it proof?
Depends on how warm your kitchen is. Mine was about 80F, and took a half hour. Most of the time I give it at least an hour.
So, mixing, 30-60 to proof, and into the Dutch oven? Sounds ridiculously easy.
Seems like a step is missing. When do you move it from the oiled bowl to proofing bowl?
Ah! I will edit. I do a double rise. From oiled bowl to a wooden bowl lined with parchment paper. Both rises until doubled.
That makes more sense. Mine turned out very wet and dense. I'll try again with another rise in there. Thanks!
Send pictures of this to your son in Boot Camp, if you’ve a hankering to be a bit evil.
Okay, I want the Savory Bread Pudding next!
Cedar, will a bread machine handle this recipe?
Yes, although you might want to use a whole-wheat setting to allow for a heavier dough with longer rise time.
