Crusty "Country" Style Loaf

All about bread

Postby wheels » Sun Apr 18, 2010 10:31 pm

I'm working on a new sour-dough at the moment - there's no doubt that it makes for a better bread. However, the art is making it without it tasting like sweaty socks.

I've done one before to show that sour-dough doesn't have to be 'sour', but I now need to do one where it fits my lifestyle.

I'll report back in due course.

I seem to remember in the dim and distant past, that putting a tea towel over the loaf on removal from the oven, while it cools, produces a soft crust loaf.

That's one way John. Using fat/oil in the dough or cooking at a lower temperature (as in my soft rolls) are others.
