A friend shared a youtube link in one of the baking group...got curious so I've tested it out.
Not bad...my 1st time baking with my cast iron pot...love it...so easy..just that i find the texture is a bit densed, maybe I've overworked it.
So here you go:
3 cups bread flour, more for dusting (bout 420gm)
¼ teaspoon instant yeast
1¼ teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon instant yeast
1¼ teaspoons salt
1. In a large bowl combine flour, yeast and salt. Add 1
5/8 cups water, and stir until blended; dough will be shaggy and
sticky. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough rest at least 12 hours.
2. Dough is ready when its surface is dotted with
bubbles. Lightly flour a work surface and place dough on it; sprinkle it
with a little more flour and fold it over on itself once or twice.
Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rest about 15 minutes.
3. Using just enough flour to keep dough from sticking
to work surface or to your fingers, gently and quickly shape dough into
a ball. Generously coat a cotton towel (not terry cloth) with flour, put dough seam side down on towel and dust with
more flour. Cover with another cotton towel and let
rise for about 2 hours.
4. At least a half-hour before dough is ready, heat
oven to 200 degrees. Put the cast iron pot in oven. When dough is ready,
carefully remove pot from oven. Slide your hand under towel and turn
dough over into pot, seam side up. Shake pan once or twice if dough is unevenly distributed; it will
straighten out as it bakes. Cover with lid and bake 30 minutes, then
remove lid and bake another 15 to 30 minutes, until loaf is beautifully
browned. Cool on a rack.
