The baker at House of Bread Anthony, shares his own recipe and the process of how to make, mix, stretch, fold, and use the Dutch Oven. 350 grams of white bread flour100 grams of whole wheat flour 100 grams of sourdough starter390 grams of warm water10 grams of saltAfter mixing add in 1/4 cup of Sesame Seeds and 3/4 cupDried Cranberries during the stretch and fold. -Always cover your dough in the fridge, toplayer needs to stay moist, even air movement in a home fridge will dry out thetop of dough. -Preheat Dutch oven for welldeveloped crust and strong oven spring, (500 degrees 45 minutes Dutch ovenpreheat) drop oven to 450 to proceed with baking steps when Dutch Oven Preheatis complete. -Line the cloth in proofingbasket well with gold flour for overnight proof, absorbs slower than whitebread flower. -If you notice dough isstruggling to hold shape before baking, put dough with proofing basket 10minutes into freezer: This helps with oven spring, makes scoring easier,strengthens dough structure, begin baking process after dough is pulled fromfreezer. -Pay attention to startertemp, if you are looking to feed and have your starter ready for dough makingin 4-6 hours, you’ll want starter temp to maintain something closer to 80-84average, this helps with a healthy dough temp when mixing the dough and yeastactivity. -When the dough is beingmixed, we’re looking for gluten development and active fermentation in a warmenvironment — this builds structure and begins the rise as the wild yeast feedsand produces gas.When we put the dough into thefridge, we’re looking for slow fermentation and flavor development.The cold environment slows downyeast activity while allowing enzymes and beneficial bacteria to continueworking, which improves the dough’s complexity, strengthens the gluten, andenhances crust and crumb texture. It also makes the dough easier to handle andscore before baking.Happy Baking Everyone!.

Baking with a Dutch oven
I recommend baking in a Dutch oven for every home baker desiring to bake hard crusted breads. It is just the easiest way to add steam to the bake, and you really don't add anything as a Dutch oven with a lid captures the natural moisture coming off the dough. Moisture in the oven during the beginning part of baking allows your bread to rise fully, deepens the crust color, and finally, adds a level of shininess to the exterior.Links to where I purchased my Dutch oven.Amazon.com:EDGING CASTING Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven Pot With Lid, Dutch Oven forSourdough Bread Baking Round Pot Dule Handle, 6 Quart, Blue: Home & KitchenThanks for listening...happy baking!

SALT 1 TKnead for 8-10 minutes adjusting by adding in more whiteflour or water if needed, thicker denser dough than traditional breads but itshould hold shape, and start out very sticky and then the water will get absorbed. The whole grains take longerfor the water to absorb and rye is stickier than wheat. So, it should be messy at first. After you get a good dough, then add seeds. We use caraway and sunflower seeds.CARAWAY SEEDS 1TSUNFLOWER SEEDS 1/2C, 1T for the top. If you want a black bread then youcan add 2T of carmel color to the water. It doesn’t add any flavor, just plenty of blackness. Divide in two, and shape like a football, seam side down.Egg wash and add your seeds to the top. Let rest about 1/2 hour, then score down the middle and bake in a 400 degree oven for 25-30 minutes.Happy Baking!
