Day 3 of Photo Challenge


Okay, 2 pictures again but it is the same object.  This is a no-knead bread that I made after seeing it on Pinterest.  This is actually my 2nd loaf and seems to have come out better than the first one.  I don't have a dutch oven (preferred method of baking) so I tried a stoneware pan with a Pampered chef glass batter bowl over it.  The bowl was too small and I think I should have extended the baking time as it was a little doughy.  It was still edible and good tasting though.  Tonight's loaf was made using the insert to my crockpot, hence the oblong shape, and foil over top.  The taste test got all thumbs up!!

The recipe I used can be found here: Crusty-bread  There were a few changes I made because I am using fresh ground hard white wheat.  I used 2 3/4 cups water instead of 3 and baked a few minutes longer.  This was suggested by someone in the comments and seems to have worked well for me.  I also added a tablespoon of garlic powder to this loaf since we are having it with spaghetti.  I can't wait to try some with different types of cheese and herbs!!

A dutch oven is definitely on my wish list now so if you know of a good one beside Le Crueset, let me know please!!
