MacKenzie Posted June 12, 2018 Report Posted June 12, 2018 I made a loaf of my sour dough bread this evening. I added some chia seeds and pumpkin seeds. My secret weapon for the cook is - I couldn't find the chain to buy so what to do. I figured that if I covered my dough with this stainless steel bowl that would keep the moisture in for the first 10 mins. of the bake @500F. Lots of oven spring in this bake. 7
Pequod Posted June 12, 2018 Report Posted June 12, 2018 Beautiful bake! I always use a cast iron Dutch Oven for my indoor bread bakes and it works great. Can’t argue with success. 1 1
MacKenzie Posted June 12, 2018 Author Report Posted June 12, 2018 The bread has cooled enough to slice- 4
Bruce Pearson Posted June 12, 2018 Report Posted June 12, 2018 That bread looks deeeeelicious Mac Especially with the butter on it. Yum Yum 1
Pequod Posted June 12, 2018 Report Posted June 12, 2018 A shmear of Vegemite would do the trick, eh @Bruce Pearson? 2
Syzygies Posted June 12, 2018 Report Posted June 12, 2018 The one thing an enclosure (Dutch oven, steel bowl) won't do is deliver a massive slam of initial heat, as the steam condenses on the dough. Ask me how I know: After a few drinks with the neighbors, I got careless and threw in water ungloved. (I usually use ice with the KK to buy time, but I'm using the upper grill for Moroccan bread, leaving me plenty of room to land water on my cast iron skillet and chains.) The hand in question isn't so bad (I didn't have to skip my pottery wheel class today), but discretion suggests not posting a picture. 3
Bruce Pearson Posted June 12, 2018 Report Posted June 12, 2018 Well Piquod I put some Vegemite on a piece of raisin breadtoast guess what I didn’t like it bleah! So ends my Vegemite saga. 1 1

Aussie Ora Posted June 12, 2018 Report Posted June 12, 2018 Well Piquod I put some Vegemite on a piece of raisin breadtoast guess what I didn’t like it bleah! So ends my Vegemite saga.

Tangles Posted June 12, 2018 Report Posted June 12, 2018 Anybody out there want to slightly used jar of Vegemite? Bruce, you can try another iconic Aussie thing. It’s called the Tim Tam slam. Tim Tams are a tasty chocolate biscuit. Take a small bite out of the opposite corners of the biscuit. Dunk the biscuit into your tea or coffee and use the biscuit like a straw. Eat the biscuit before it gets soggy. You need to be quick otherwise the Tim Tam will devolve. Tim Tamshttps://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/30/dining/tim-tams-biscuits-australian-cookie-us.htmlhttps://m.wikihow.com/Do-the-Tim-Tam-SlamGuarantee you that this is better tasting that vegemite.

Bruce Pearson Posted June 12, 2018 Report Posted June 12, 2018 Tangles do Tim tams taste like Vegemite? Lol
Bruce Pearson Posted June 12, 2018 Report Posted June 12, 2018 Aussie I tried the tea spoon test can’t really say I like Vegemite, sorry to say. was hoping I would like it.
tony b Posted June 17, 2018 Report Posted June 17, 2018 Hat's off to Bruce for the Vegemite experiment! It's one of those cultural things. If you didn't grow up with it, you hate it. I've had similar experiences with folks that I've had try some Southern "classics" and they didn't like them either. 1
