My latest loaf of sour dough. I am using what has been called the poor man's dutch oven, 2 standard loaf pans clipped together with metal binder clips. I am also needing to compensate for the higher elevation here by tweaking the amount of yeast and sour dough starter. At first I tried, really tried, to only use the starter but no luck, just flat huge hockey pucks. This is the first loaf that actually looks like a loaf so I think I am getting closer.
That really does look delicious -- but what makes this a poor man's dutch oven, the clever clipping of the pans? Tomorrow, a friend is bringing me sour dough starter. Hoooraaayy -- I hope the bread turns out good enough for human consumption, although the squirrel keeps checking to see if there's more bread for him outside.
That is the most beautiful bread I have seen. Must be delicious, too.
For me living at sea level the need to compensate for the high altitude is something never heard of. :)
@eudora Thank you so much, it disappeared rather quickly.
@jyokota Thank you, I am trying to stay away from the news (political stuff anyway) so, I have been searching bread recipes. The term is from this ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OmME9lZtwo ). It works too. Homemade bread is a process- I've made a few oops loaves for sure. I wish you success and good baking. I did end up ordering yeast from amazon as it hasn't been in stores for some time.
@angelikavr Baking this loaf was almost like the 'Keystone Cops' - oozing out the sides but caught it before it burned and dropped to the bottom. I firmly believe that I will get it but, so far most of the loaves have been okay to eat. The good thing about this one was that it looked like a 'normal' loaf.
@domenicododaro I wonder if Artisan bread relies on the closed pan method or using a cast iron dutch oven to take advantage of the steam to help cook it a bit? My dutch oven is far too large to make a loaf that looks anything like what is shown on youtube. As for sour dough started I just started one, 1 cup whole wheat flour and 1 cup water, let it sit on the counter for few days. I used this link as a guide ( https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/17513/no-commercial-yeast-starter/ ). Good luck
@onewing It didn't last long so I took that as a yes.
@swguevin2 Was and all gone - in less than 2 days...
@s4sayer My bread adventures are so far fun. This time I did put too much dough in the pan and it was like a blob monster as it oozed out the sides but I caught it before it fell to the bottom of my oven, a tasty oops.
@taffy Baking of bread does wonders for helping my isolation but not my waist line, I must do more planks.
@octogenarian Thank you so kindly for the fav. I remember reading cake mix boxes that gave high altitude instructions. Funny how things don't 'hit' home until you have to live them.
@gggg Thank you so much, think about getting Darth to help with the kneading......
