My Dad emails me pictures of what cooking, some disasters, most great! Thought others may enjoy and as an enticement to get him to post I just set up this new Member Account for him and making this post. My Dad's email and pictures follow:

Made bread as promised, I only have a medium sized Dutch Oven and I was worried about using a large saucepan at 500 degrees so I only made a 2 cup measure as a trial. Makes wonderful crusty Artisan type bread.

Recipe for full batch is:
  • Mix together 3 cups bread flour, ¼ tsp yeast, 1 1/4 tsp salt.
  • Stir in 1 1/2 cups of room temperature water.
  • Cover and allow to rise for 12 to 16 hours (ie overnight, ready for Breakfast).
  • Preheat oven and Dutch Oven with the lid to 500 degrees F.
  • Scrape dough onto floured board, fold thirds sideways and in half the other way and then drop upside down into 500 F Dutch Oven.
  • Place lid on Dutch Oven and bake in oven for 30 minutes.
  • Remove lid and bake additional 15 minutes uncovered.
  • Remove from oven, allow to cool, serve.

On UTube they have experimented with this recipe and added 4 drops of Red Wine Vinegar to 1 1/2 cups of hot water and allowed it to rise for only a couple of hours.
