Holey cow! I did it!

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Artisan Bread Making »

Instructions

Baked in woodstove Oven

Difficulty:

Category: Food & Cooking

Type of item: Food

For: Other

Style: Traditional


What was your inspiration?

My inspiration was desperation. I have been trying to bake a decent loaf of bread for years with no success. many of the end products have not even been suitable to feed to the chickens but many were suitable for doorstops or weapons.

What are you most proud of?

Maintaining temperature control in the wood oven. It was my first try and I have beautiful tasty bread that was baked in my wood oven where temperature control is a skill on its`own. With out this class I am sure I would have taken much more trial and error to achieve this result.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Don`t deviate from the recipe before you know the basics of bread making.

Thanks I made more today & it got even better... weee! This stove is a new stove 2012 certified... It is made by Amish people in Ontario Canada. it is not legal any more to use old unfortified stoves, You can't get house insurance.

Beautiful bread. Looks delicious. Beautiful wood cook stove/oven too. What year is your cook stove? Do you have a great story behind how you acquired your stove? Will you write about it?
