So my sister called me a few days ago to brag about some awesome bread that she made and I was totally bummed to find out that you need some sort of dutch oven to bake it in. It turns out that she was so smug because a bright shiny turquoise one was already in the mail!
Here it is in all its glory! I actually got my act together and cleaned the stove so that I could post a picture of it.
Anyway, onto the good stuff – the bread! You can find the recipe here. Apparently it already made the rounds on all the food blogs when it came out 1.5 years ago, so I’m a little late to the game. Nevertheless, the recipe is ridiculously simple and tasty to boot! I used half white flour and half whole wheat.
Here it is right out of the oven. The crust is so crispy that it crackles! Of course I had no patience and had to cut right into it.
Perfectly moist on the inside and great with a slice of cheese. Next time I’ll suck it up and use all white flour and maybe even some fresh rosemary. I love this bread because it’s everything bread should be — flour, yeast, and water. No chemicals or preservatives or even oil like the ones you buy from the store.
