Sourdough in a saucepan

Profile picture for user CJHardy

As I am without a Dutch oven, oven stone or bread pan of the right size, I thought I would try this basic bread in a cast iron non-stick saucepan. This is the second time I have tried baking this way. I got a limited bloom as the dough was very wet, very ripe and had no bench work or second prove. 

 

500g Tesco Very strong white bread flour

100g Matthews Cotswold Crunch flour

100g plain white flour starter 100% hydration

10g salt

80% hydration

 

Starter fed 6 hours before mixing. This had just gone past peak.
