Made a couple loafs of wheat bread out of Ken Forkish's book Flour Water Salt Yeast. These require an overnight proof in the fridge. Its always a good way to start the day having the house smell like fresh bread. I couldn't find our second proofing basket so one loaf proofed in a mixing bowl. Cooked both in a cast iron dutch oven. Vac packed one loaf and froze it.

Nothing like fresh baked bread

Totally agree. I don't know if this is Weird but, ever since I was a kid, I can only eat Refer Cold Hard Butter on Hot Bread or Rolls. It's a combo of the temp contrast and the hard Butter against the soft bread....JJ
 
Looks really tasty.
That would make a great bread bowl for a spinach dip, or clam chowder if it’s dense enough.
 
Could you please give the recipe? I know it's a noob question, but it looks so fluffy and good, mine never comes out like this.

Buy The book it is well worth it. Not only for the recipes in it but the explanations of teh techniques that Ken uses. He truly is a bread master. Has really increased my bread making skills. When you buy the book make sure and get a good digital scale if you don't have one. All of the recipes are by weight, which when baking is the best way to get accurate repetable results every time.
 
I love that book! Agree that the book as a whole is a must for all the great techniques and explanations. Your bread looks great!
