Peasant Bread

[BrianGSDTexoma]

So I been making this bread for a while now. Very easy and only takes couple hours from start to finish. I think it is very close to sourdough. I will give the link to the video/recipe as you really need to watch so you know how the dough should look. For what ever reason I always have to add a decent about of water to bread recipes so I starting holding back some flour. Easier adding flour than adding water. I pulled 50 grams from this and still added a bit of water. You want dough to be pretty loose. This is a no knead dough. More of a pour one.

All mixed up.



45 minutes. See how bubbly it is.



Into well butter loaf pan.



25 minutes later



Bake 425 for 15 minutes than 375 for another 15. Probably need to run a knife around edge.



This makes the best toast! I slice thin using meat slicer than stack 2 at a time between parchment paper and freeze.

Good looking bread. I have a no-knead recipe I use. The challenge I have had in the past is if I'm was not careful with the amount of yeast the bread can have a "yeasty" taste.

I have gone to weighing everything rather than using measurements by volume, and it's a much nicer tasting bread.

That looks great! Soon and we can get cooler weather Im making some bread. Got no AC up here...so summer oven use is minimal.

I'll have to give it a try.

Thanks.
Needed to compare to my pans.
That glass one is 8.5 x 4.5 x3 - 115 cubic in.
I had one a lot smaller (79 cubic in.) and one a bit bigger (9.5 x 4.5 x 3) - 128 cubic in.
I should be able to increase the recipe by 12% to work with my pans.

Weighing measurements for baking is by far the way to go.

Looks perfect, Brian.
I hardly ever bake or make pizza dough anymore, I really need to get back into it. I try not to use the oven when it's hot outside, maybe the baking bug will bite me once again when things cool off around here.

I think that recipe will work as is. I use to cut it down to 3/4. I just dont let it rise as long now. Most SD recipes are 500 grams.

Got it sliced up. Looks thicker than it is in this picture. I had bought a cheap 10" meat slicer that wont slice meat but works great on bread. This bread is so good!

I'll have to give it a shot .

Thanks Jim. I did not notice any yeasty flavor with this.

Thanks Dan. I really dont notice the oven effecting the house temp but I run the AC.

It's not so much the heat Brian, it's the added electric to our bill, I keep our AC on 77* on the hot days, and it hardly ever shuts off. Our electrical utilities costs are stupid high in CA. I hate this State, 2 to 3 more yrs, and we are gone.
Most likely to I.D. Hayden lake area, we have family that has lived on the lake for over 40 yrs.
