<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nAs you can see in the above photos, my bread actually did rise — but not enough! This was my third attempt. While the bread tastes fine, it’s still a bit too dense and not quite fluffy enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A couple notes for people attempting the “basic” country bread recipe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Making bread takes pretty much all day. You need to pick a day when you’re going to be home at all times.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The book tells you that once you’ve mixed the dough, you let it sit for a few hours. But don’t stop reading, because the next thing he says contradicts this! You need to come back in half an hour to “fold” the dough.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Feed your leaven in the morning. This is important, because you need to take a sample from it at night in order to have dough ready the next morning. There’s no way to get around this.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If you don’t have a dutch oven, buy the suggested Logic Logic combo cooker<\/a>. It’s a really cool invention, because it doubles as a pot and skillet when you’re not using it as a dutch oven. I found mine at my local Ace Hardware, but Rainbow Grocery sells them as well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Chad doesn’t say this upfront, but you need a “bench knife.” It’s basically a piece of sheet metal with a handle. You need this for shaping the dough. Any store that sells kitchen stuff will have this.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
