Bread. Not Wonder Bread…..this bread.
I made some Thursday and it turned out OK — delicious, but ugly. (SO many directions for jokes on that one, but I’ll leave it alone. It’s Sunday.)
I made some again today and it looks better.
See that wonky party on top? Totally stuck to my towel. And see how it’s kind of flat? I think I need a smaller, rounder pot. Mine’s like 9 quarts and oval-y. Bread flour worked better than regular flour. See? Obsessed.
How does it taste? It looks delish. Could you send a slice my way with lots of butter?
Wow – that looks yummy. I might have to come over and try some!
Mmmmm….Have you tried it with wheat flour? I think I’m going to. Take it down a notch, Martha. You’re making me look bad.
Is there anything you can’t do? That looks and sounds yummy. I’m going to try it tonight!
Char, did I give you the peasant bread recipe that I love? It is soooo easy but tasty and pretty. Remind me and I will pass it along.
Char, glad to see it turned out for you! I too have had some trouble with it sticking to the towel. I haven’t seemed to find the exact right amount of flour – either way too much or not enough. I made a triple batch a couple days ago, though, and only had two tea towels. So for the third loaf, I let it rise on a hunk of parchment. It stuck a little to the parchment, so rather than flip it, I just carefully set it, parchment and all, into the dutch oven. Turned out great and slipped right off the paper once it was cooked, but I missed the nobbly rustic finish on top that you get when you flip it and some of it sticks a bit.
You really ought to try adding a bit of whole grain flour into it. Not too much – max 1/3 of the total flour – but it adds a huge flavor punch. My fave is rye + semolina.
Recipe puhlease.
I make bread twice a week and have been looking for nearly two years for a Scali bread recipe. Turns out it is a recipe that Italian familes pass down but do not share. Anyone please share….
FTAS – if you click on "this bread" in the first paragraph, it'll take you to a recipe!
I used to be recommended this web site via
my cousin. I’m not positive whether this put up is written by him as
nobody else know such special approximately my difficulty.
You’re incredible! Thanks!
