As many of you know I bake a lot. I just picked up the Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a day and have to say that it's the easiest method I have tried to bake bread! Great results. I did a bunch of loaves today on the egg. The book is definitely worth buying and is a perfect way to start baking bread.
So, I mixed up a large double mix of the "master dough" exactly to the specifications. I added my sourdough starter as if it were leftover dough and the book describes how to handle it (mix it into the water basically) You don't need to do this if you don't have any.
I gave the dough about 4 hours to rise since it was so much dough. Then put it in the fridge last night. This morning when my brisket I was cooking finished I added a 2nd stone and removed my drip pan and cranked up to 450-500. While the egg stabilized I made my loaves. To compare I baked a few loaves of my ciabatta from all starter at the same time (the long loaves)
You can see my big ole bowl of homemade butter I just finished making!
Then I put on my ciabatta and started baking that off
Beautiful day on the River!!
And the money shot! It's our Thanksgiving meal at work! I took this and a Brisket that was AMAZING! No pics of the brisket though... sorry.
