Hey @High kev if you like this kind of stuff I've got a few recipes I could share with you.
Love it I will gladly try some recipes please shareHey @High kev if you like this kind of stuff I've got a few recipes I could share with you.
Thanks! I've baked my share of bricks to get there, lol. Been baking a lot with the lockdown. I'm on the stone now, but I have a menagerie of pots that I'll bake in also. I have a pullman loaf pan sitting there never used for years...........maybe check it out soon. Cheese bread in a pot will make you a bread superstar with the kids. Here's a 5 cup light rye.Thanks man your breads look amazing too. I have been frying about 20% of the dough in sunflower oil. It gets super crispy on the outside and stays fluffy inside and goes great with some butter and jam and even with some kind of aged cheese like gruyere. Yummy. Next time i’m gonna try some rolls too. And i should take pics!
looks very cool at what temperature are you baking those? I’m using a dutch oven and that goes into an electric oven which only goes up to 250C. Not ideal i think but it gets the job done and since the dutch oven seals it tight and keeps the humid air in, it creates a denser bread (not unpleasant or heavy) with more water but it keeps fresh for a week because of that water content which is nice as each bread weighs about 1500gr. Thats a lot of bread!Thanks! I've baked my share of bricks to get there, lol. Been baking a lot with the lockdown. I'm on the stone now, but I have a menagerie of pots that I'll bake in also.

I set my oven (electric) to 425 F. I put both racks in the two bottom slots. The upper rack gets a 16" diameter stone. The lower rack gets a cookie sheet that holds about a quart of water. As soon as I see a bit of steam, I take the stone out, dust with fine oatmeal, plop the loaf on the stone, then move the whole deal into the oven. You want to see steam at that point. That steam makes the crust wonderful. Then I bake for 45 min and take a look. Then usually continue for 15 to 20 mins more.looks very cool at what temperature are you baking those?

I did pot breads for a while. I have a big vintage aluminum dutch oven that makes 7-8 cup loaf....that's huge. Makes a round loaf. I also have a cast iron loaf pan, and that then goes into a rectangular aluminum pot that has a lid, that makes an artisan square loaf. I also have a ceramic bundt type pot. Made this rye loaf in that the other day.

We call it 'vodka sauce' here!I'm mean with a broiler, shrimp, and butter!
Maybe a lil breadcrumbs over fettuccini Alfredo .
In my region we have an orange sauce. Alfredo and try it sometime!
Daddy taught me..southern cooking rules:
fat is flavor
salt everything - even sweets
save bacon grease
gravy is a food group
vegetables are made to enhance a meal - not be a meal

Saute your garlic until you can smell it then add your BB (12 oz) and white wine (3oz). Cook to a light reduction. Add tomatoes and green onions to the sauce then add your meats and toss.
