tvashtarkatena Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) Pretty easy: Mix 1/3 teaspoon dry active yeast in 1 1/2 cups warm (110-115) water Add water+yeast to: 3 cups King Arthur Bread Flour 1/3 teaspoon salt mix with a wooden spoon until too thick use spoon anymore Mix with hands for 3 to 5 minutes. Dough will still be wet and sticky when you're done put dough in lightly greased cast iron dutch oven or other cast iron lidded pot Set in warm place covered for 8 to 12 hours Heat oven to 450F Bake in dutch oven for 15 minutes with lid on Add 1/4 cup warm water to pot, bake for another 15 minutes with lid on Bake for 15 minutes with lid off Let bread cool for 15 minutes Fucking de-lish. 50-75 cents a loaf (if you buy your flour in bulk). Actual work time is less than 10 minutes. Edited May 5, 2009 by tvashtarkatena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete_H Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I've got a bread machine my gal and I bought for $1 at a street sale in Dillon, MT. You just put all the shit into it and push a button and it creates bread. Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dechristo Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I remember when a guy only needed a dime to drop a baguette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billcoe Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I thought my wife was doing a casserole as 4she had fired up the slow cooker yesterday with a bunch of beans and stuff in it. So I stopped and bought a baguette from the French Bakery (man, it's spot on the money like Parisian bread). Turns out she was making Burritos. At the burritos and the entire baguette too last night. Damn that stuff is soooooo friggan good. Love French food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hafilax Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I decided to try and improve my french by reading Harry Potter novels. In the first paragraph of the book one of the characters pulls a 'baguette' out of his jacket. It took me a few pages to figure out that is was a wand and not a loaf of bread. I'll have to give that recipe a try. Got any tips on how to make a good pizza dough? The last ones turned out hard and flavourless as well and not being easy to form.
