Brick and Mud Oven

Wednesday, October 11th, 2006

Just finished the 3rd batch of bread in the oven and decided to take pix of the finished product.

Cut loaf on another larger loaf.  This is a white/whole wheat mix using sour dough starter, some bread yeast, brown sugar, a couple of cups of 2 % milk, a bit too much salt ;-), and nothing else.  15 minutes of kneeding and 4 hours rising.  Oven wasn’t quite hot enough to do it all.  Should have had another burn but was dark and I was tired.  Will start earlier next time and use less salt…

And the book that started it all:

Interesting article.  Will have to try it next time I cut myself.  Have used it before but like so many other things had forgotten about it.
