Bread Pan
Here is the secret to the bread recipe: this Cast Iron pan.
I got it at Walmart for about $40. You can probably find one cheaper at a thrift shop.
You heat the oven to 500F and then bake the bread for 1/2 an hour with the lid on and 1/2 an hour with the lid off.

Yes, that post was for you! An epic improvement. I saw it on You Tube. Just search for Easy Sourdough recipe. I also found, and have started, the the sourdough starter.
Will keep you posted.
This is the best bread ever! And if you need any help...Joy has been making it for about a year.
And so have I, for the "Delicious Lunches" at the workshops.
Joy varies the flour and adds seeds.
Hope it works. I did not know you were ill?
Tell you what...you just stop on by some time with a nice bowl from your new firing and we can trade a bowl for some bread and water.
(That is excellent pay for a potter, by the way!)
I bought an iron pot at Walmart and just fed my starter, about a 1/2 hr ago, so I should have bread sometime tomorrow morning. Can't wait to try the recipe.
I opted for the round iron pot which is about 1/2" shorter than the one you have, but I don't think the loaf will rise more than that, plus there's a bit of extra space from the rounded lid.
Do you put corn meal in the bottom of the iron pot before you put the bread in, or grease the pot? I don't think the video addressed that.
No grease! The pan is already cured.
Corn Meal is a good idea but I have never tried it.
Let us know.
Cook it for the full hour as the inside needs to cook.
I acutally made a loaf and a half and that was a nice size, (that is 4.5 cups of bread flour)
Since my accident, I let my starter go untended and I hope I haven't killed it. It is showing some bubbles but not as much as it should. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I should know in a few more hours if it's going to work.
