I have had this recipe kicking around for a while and I keep loosing it. I figure if I write it out here on the blog at least I will know where to look for it. I have been playing with it for a while as I am not sure if it is right or not..... I will say when I ate this bread when my friend, Caron, made it ... It was really good or maybe I was really hungry. She always made it on the days we had an all day quilting event.... Fresh bread, butter and jam... What could be better.
JP Bread in a Pot
2-1/2 cups of tepid water with 2 tsp yeast ( One package)
1/2 cup flour
***************************************
I think the kind of yeast you put right into the flour works best for this recipe.
Yeast gets killed by salt so try to let the yeast develop before you add the salted flour.
***************************************
3-1/2 cup flour with tsp SALT mixed in .... I use table salt, but other types have been used. (non stick)
Pour the yeast liquid into the pot and mix. Stir til well incorporated. This will be a wet dough.
Put aside with the lid on the pot to allow the bread to proof. .... one to two hours.
**********************************
At this point I have in the past poured the dough into a bread pan ( non stick or greased.)
Do this before the second proofing,
We eat the bread usually the first or second day and rarely have left overs.
*****************************************
After the first proof knock the dough down to deflate.
Cover and put into the refrigerator. I do this first thing in the morning so we can have it for dinner.
I also have proofed the dough over night but do not let it go past 10-12 hours.
Bake in 400 degree oven for 40 minutes.... uncovered.
**************************************
I never have enough for left overs. One of these days I will try freezing the bread
to see what happens.
****************************************
And before you ask I do not know who the heck JP was .... I just got a xeroxed copy of the original recipe which I loose on a regular basis .... BUT now I know where to look for it.
Up-DATED: a search on the internet
Seek and you will find ... Do you think this is JP? My recipe is a little different, but then my girlfriend liked to tinker with recipes.
