What kind of bowl are you all using to bake it in and what kind of lid.It says a dutch oven but I see alot of bowls.

I need to actually try this and not just keep it as a permenant book mark.

I just use a big anodized aluminum pot. I used a covered casserole dish once. The important part is that it has to have a secure enough lid to let steam build up (but not so secure that it explodes). The preheated vessel and the steam create an "oven inside the oven".

I mixed it in a plastic bowl, let it rise in that bowl, transferred it to floured wax paper to rise again, and then baked it in a pre-heated CorningWare casserole dish with a lid, like these sold by CorningWare.

The great thing about this is, at 11 at night you can suddenly realize that if you take 3 minutes to mix up a batch of dough right now, tomorrow you'll have bread.

I'm such a sucker for freshly baked bread, and the aromas of it! Just a pity that I have nothing suitable to make such a simple yet scrumptious looking thing! I shall just have to go without.
But I wonder if I can bully one of my mates into letting me try at her place....

I made the bread!

I started it last night and planned it for baking at 4pm and ready to eat at 6pm with CHILI, yummmmm. It was a hit! The bread crust is very crunchy and the inside is deliciously tender. Very easy to make. When the recipe says to use a lot of flour for turing the dough out and folding, they MEAN it! I'd also suggest flouring your hands, too. I didn't use wax paper, I just used my countertop and turned a large mixing bowl over the top of it to rise again. Worked perfectly.
Sorry, no pictures...we ate it before I could get the camera out!

I think this line's mostly filler.

Jack Bauer would have to wait five months to eat that bread!

But he could do it.

So. Just how stiff should the dough be when moving to paper? A baker I'm not. Looks like it needs about another cup of flour.

It shouldn't be stiff at all. See the bottom picture of the risen dough in post #14. Pretty floppy and sticky.

Also, I'd skip the paper and use a greased bowl covered with a towel or saran wrap instead. Or follow Hoof's suggestion to leave it on the counter and cover with a big bowl. The paper caused me too many troubles. No matter how much flour I used on the paper, it stuck to the dough.

Bread? No. A brick. I added too much flour, trying to get it to fold over and didn't let rise long enough last time. But I have a plan. No more folding or paper. 2 bowls, the last one before dump greased and lightly floured.
