00:00:00
hello again my name's John I'm a retired
00:00:03
cook from the northeast of England in
00:00:05
the UK and welcome to my latest bread
00:00:07
recipe in this recipe I'll show you how
00:00:10
to make this amazing loaf of bread using
00:00:13
a dutch oven but unlike most of these
00:00:15
cyan Pot recipes where you have to get
00:00:18
the pot blistering hot before adding the
00:00:20
dough we'll be starting this recipe with
00:00:23
a cold Dutch oven you can view the
00:00:26
ingredients list and full written method
00:00:28
for this recipe on the recipe page on
00:00:31
the Channel's website whatever device
00:00:33
you're watching this video on you'll
00:00:35
find all the relevant links in the
00:00:37
description box under the video Simply
00:00:40
click on the little word more and all
00:00:43
will be revealed okay let's get on with
00:00:45
today's
00:00:47
[Music]
00:00:48
recipe as always I'll start the recipe
00:00:51
by testing that my yeast is alive and
00:00:54
healthy to the warm water add the sugar
00:01:00
next to go in is the softened
00:01:05
butter and finally you can add your
00:01:08
yeast you can use instant or active
00:01:10
dried yeast for this recipe if you want
00:01:13
to use fresh yeast you'll need 20 G okay
00:01:17
give that a thorough mix with your mini
00:01:19
whisk Now set it aside until it
00:01:21
activates if you don't see any life
00:01:24
after 10 minutes your yeast must be dead
00:01:26
and it needs
00:01:28
replacing okay I'm doing this this
00:01:30
recipe for those people without a
00:01:31
machine in mind so I'll be hand needing
00:01:34
the dough for this one but if you are
00:01:37
lucky enough to have a good stand mixer
00:01:39
by all means use that but like I say I'm
00:01:42
going to give my wonky atic hand a bit
00:01:44
of a workout
00:01:46
today so as you saw my yeast has
00:01:49
activated and I've added it to the Bowl
00:01:53
first now you can add the flour to the
00:01:55
Bowl
00:02:00
and the final ingredient to go in is the
00:02:04
salt right using my trusty wooden spoon
00:02:07
handle I'll roughly bring it all
00:02:11
together and a quick mention to the
00:02:13
Channel's patreon PayPal and super
00:02:15
thanks supporters I'll be giving you all
00:02:17
a shout out a little later in the
00:02:21
video at this stage I'll switch to my
00:02:24
bowl
00:02:25
scraper incidentally all of this
00:02:27
equipment is available in the website
00:02:29
store if you're interested there'll be
00:02:32
links for everything in the description
00:02:34
box below the video just another way you
00:02:36
can support the channel
00:02:39
guys okay finish off bringing the dough
00:02:42
together and continue scraping down the
00:02:44
sides of the bowl as you go now turn it
00:02:47
out onto your worktop and make sure you
00:02:49
scrape off any flour that's still stuck
00:02:51
to the
00:02:54
bowl and as the bowl is now empty
00:02:57
prepare it with a thin quat of any
00:02:59
neutral cooking oil and that's just to
00:03:02
prevent the dough from sticking after
00:03:04
its first
00:03:09
proof bring all the loose bits of flour
00:03:12
together with your bench
00:03:17
scraper Now set your timer away for 10
00:03:20
minutes and start
00:03:24
ning and if you're doing yours in a
00:03:26
stand mixer that has to be 10 minutes
00:03:29
too
00:03:34
if you are hand kneading try to follow
00:03:36
this
00:03:39
technique push forward with the heel of
00:03:41
your
00:03:42
hands and as you pull the dough
00:03:44
backwards pull over the top with one
00:03:46
hand and flip it 90° with the other as
00:03:53
shown just repeat that over and over for
00:03:56
the full 10 minutes it's dead easy once
00:03:58
you get the Rhythm
00:04:04
[Music]
00:04:10
going and that's mine
00:04:12
done and I've got a funny feeling I'll
00:04:14
be in a bit of pain tomorrow but if
00:04:16
you've learned something it's all been
00:04:18
for a very good cause the last thing to
00:04:21
do with it is to tighten up the skin of
00:04:23
the dough by dragging it towards you as
00:04:28
shown now get the dough into the bowl
00:04:31
and give both top and bottom a swirl to
00:04:33
get an even coat of oil on
00:04:36
it cover the bowl and as you know I like
00:04:39
to use a shower cup for this and it just
00:04:41
so happens that we have a new line of
00:04:43
these shower cups in the store if you're
00:04:45
interested there'll be links to the
00:04:47
store in the description box below the
00:04:51
video now get the bowl into a nice warm
00:04:54
spot it's 26 Celsius in my kitchen today
00:04:57
so I'm just leaving mine here on the
00:04:59
bench
00:05:00
Now set your timer for 1
00:05:09
hour and this is the Dutch oven I'll be
00:05:11
using in this
00:05:14
video if you don't have a dutch oven you
00:05:17
can use a ceramic casserole dish like
00:05:19
this one another good alternative is a
00:05:22
glass casserole dish as long as the
00:05:24
vessel is ovenproof it has tapered sides
00:05:27
and a good fitting lid you can make
00:05:28
bread in it
00:05:31
but like I said I'm using this orange
00:05:33
Dutch oven so I'm giving my pot a good
00:05:36
greasing with
00:05:38
L but you can use a solid vegetable fat
00:05:41
instead that will be okay if you're
00:05:44
intending to grease your pot with butter
00:05:46
mix in a little cooking oil with the
00:05:48
butter and refrigerate it for at least
00:05:50
half an hour before greasing the pot and
00:05:53
if you wouldn't mind guys if you found
00:05:55
the video useful and enjoyable can you
00:05:58
give the video a like by by hitting the
00:06:00
thumbs up it really helps the channel
00:06:02
tremendously thank
00:06:06
you okay times up on the first
00:06:09
proof and as you can see it's risen
00:06:12
quite nicely so now you knock it right
00:06:15
back to the start this always seems
00:06:17
wrong somehow but those hardworking
00:06:19
yeast organisms have to prove themselves
00:06:22
worthy just one more time and that
00:06:25
second proof is what gives the bread a
00:06:27
much better flavor and texture get it
00:06:30
out onto the bench and bring it all
00:06:33
together now form it into a bowl drug it
00:06:37
same as you did the last
00:06:45
time now gently lift it into the center
00:06:48
of the
00:06:54
pot cover it again and let it prove for
00:06:57
45 minutes this time
00:07:04
when there's only 5 minutes left on the
00:07:06
proofing time you need to preheat your
00:07:09
oven to 210° C that's 410 fah or gas
00:07:15
Mark
00:07:19
s okay time's up on that second proof
00:07:23
and it's looking
00:07:25
great all I got to do now is to score it
00:07:28
so get your Baker's blade or lame or
00:07:31
larm whatever you want to call it and
00:07:33
gently score in NS and Crosses or Tic
00:07:36
Tac Toe button on the
00:07:38
top and if your kitchen is as hot as
00:07:41
mine is at the moment and it's now
00:07:43
knocking around 26 Celsius that's 79 fah
00:07:47
you'll have to go very gentle with the
00:07:49
blade as the D is very soft but just
00:07:53
take your time with it to a little at a
00:07:55
time it'll get there
00:07:59
once scored place the lid on and get it
00:08:01
into the preheated
00:08:03
oven now set your timer for 30
00:08:09
minutes and while that's baking I hope
00:08:12
you don't mind if I give my four recipe

00:08:36
in this
00:08:40
video okay when there's only 5 minutes
00:08:43
left on the baking time quickly but very
00:08:46
carefully remove the lid of the Dutch
00:08:48
oven this will allow the top of the loaf
00:08:50
to get some color and to crisp
00:08:53
up quickly close the oven door and
00:08:55
continue with the baking time
00:09:02
right time's up on this wonderful loaf
00:09:04
of bread and it's looking and smelling
00:09:08
amazing these oven gloves make this job
00:09:11
so much easier and safer that pot is
00:09:14
seriously hot so be careful carefully
00:09:17
tip the loaf out and get it onto the
00:09:19
wire rack and there you go you've got a
00:09:22
dutch oven shaped Loaf uping the bottom
00:09:25
of a loaf and it's sounding Hollow is
00:09:27
quite a good indicator of being done
00:09:30
okay I'll let it cool on the wire rack
00:09:32
for a few minutes and when I come back
00:09:34
we'll have a look on the
00:09:37
inside right it's been cooling for 15
00:09:40
minutes so let's cut a slice off the
00:09:43

00:09:47
crispy the crumb is soft and light
00:09:49
