When Necessity is the Mother of Invention

[clarissa]

Decided to experiment and make some Artisan bread on my kettle. After my roti chicken was done.

I don’t have a dutch oven , so.....this is where being creative comes in handy. Stoked the coals, used a veggie pan as a base


Put my poortex in that to use as part of a dutch oven


Used my griddle as a cover and pre-heated it for 10 minutes


Placed my dough on parchment paper and into my poortex and covered it with the griddle


Lid on and baked for half hour. Then took bread out and placed on griddle to brown up


Bread had good texture and was quite tasty




Ate too much. Will make some tweaks next loaf

Nice!

I don't think I could make a loaf of bread if someone gave me a bread maker and pointed to the "On" button.

This was a so simple recipe.......No Knead Artisan Bread
3 cups flour
1/4 tsp instant yeast
1 tsp salt
1-1/2 cup warm water
Mix in bowl and cover with saran wrap
Let sit on counter for 4 hours
Fold dough over onto itself several times with a spoon and sprinkle with a bit of flour
Prepare pan in oven at 450F
Bake for 30 minutes covered
Uncover and bake 5 more minutes (or more) to brown top
Cool, slice, devour

@clarissa,

Nicely done!

I've done that recipe many times in a cloche as well as my Dutch oven with a sourdough starter. However, I've never done it on a kettle. So bravo for giving it a go.

How did you like the crumb and the crust of that particular loaf? What changes are you thinking for next time?

The crust was nice and crunchy and the bread texture was nice, not a lot of holes. We gobbled half the loaf last night while it was,still warm. This morning I sliced the remainder and made toast with our breakfast.

Not really much tweaking with the recipe other than to play around with spices and herbs,  but will work on my setup and make sure I have a raging fire to get it baking better. My temps were a bit low and I ended up letting it cook longer as a result. My family liked it very much.

Next time I will use a ss bowl I have as a dutch oven

Very nice. Adding this to list of stuff I need to Weberize.
