Everyone knows that I am a bread-aholic. :)
Well, I came across the easiest bread recipe that you will ever find. No fail, taste great, looks just like it says it will. I used bread flour and on CasCity ( our other website) they used a 10" dutch oven.
But you can use any heavy deep pan..
Just follow the instructions and don't change anything until you get a few loafs under your belt.
Use this website, www.aresrocket.com/bread (http://www.aresrocket.com/bread)
I am going to try this. I will do it for Easter dinner.
Ta Ta... did your bread turn out or did you make it?
I did make it. Jim and I ate the entire loaf. It was very good. I am now trying it using wheat flour. I believe it is going to be even better. I just started it this morning, so will make it on Friday. Wonderful easy receipe.
I got some in the crock right now.. and in about 24 hours, I'll tell you how it is..
I can't wait! (http://www.cascity.com/howard/animations/tasty.gif)
Bread has been raising and fermenting for 16 hours. ( I wanted a sour dough taste, so I am going to let it go longer.)
I have punched it down and it is once again setting there doing it's thing.. :D
I have a loaf of bread rising, also. I took it out of the freezer and put it in a loaf pan. When it has risen enough, I will put it in the oven. If I had to make it from scratch, it wouldn't work.
This sounds great. I plan on using my cast iron dutch ovens and I'll let you know how it turns out.
Kevin, I took a Dutch Oven cooking class here at the Jr. College last fall. It was quite interesting and fun too! It was actually a "hands on class". I have some good recipes from the class--if you are interested, I'll be glad to share. There's a group here that meets weekly to cook out. We don't belong, as a lot of the food isn't ideal for our diets, but it was fun & interesting & I plan to adapt some of them so we can use them.

Kevin...
Kjell is a Cowboy Action Shooter. www.cascity.com (http://www.cascity.com) and everytime we go to a large champion shoot, they always have a "cosie"..( a period correct cook who cooks all the meals for the camp in cast iron on the campfire. You would just go nuts being around it.
He will have sometime 6-8 things going at once.
It's awesome.
I think I have some pictures of one of the shoots. I will try to get some of these posted.
I am going to use my dutch oven to make this rocket bread... (((by the way.. it is STILL bubbling))
I love sourdough and this will be awesome.. Baking time is tomorrow. I'll take a picture..
The Saturday after Thanksgiving last year, we had a second Thanksgiving Feast that we cooked out doors at a State Park. My future step-brother-in-law had a new campfire spit on which he cooked the turkey, we had 4 different dutch ovens cooking green beans, sweet potato casserole, bread and a cheesy potato dish. The great thing about cooking in the dutch ovens was that as each item got done, we could just leave it hot in the the dutch oven off the fire so when we were ready to eat everything was still piping hot.
I'm going to lobby to do this years Thursday dinner "al fresco" since it worked out so well.
My first batch of Rocket Bread it bubbling away as well.
Hi y'all... just finished up my first loaf of the rocket bread. Turned out pretty well. Thanks for sharing this. I hope everyone else's turned out good too.
Ok gang.. look-it' this !!
I should have taken pictures as I was making it, but the end result is the best part anyway.
I let mine set and raise for about 60 hours..( I love a sourdough bite to my bread) I punched it down about 5 times.
This is the end result.
YUMMY!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is so easy and really fun to make.
I thought it would have a sourdough taste.. it doesn't at all.. but man oh man .. is it ever good.
It has a spongy almost toughish texture..and the outside is really crunchy.
I can tell right now that I will be buying a bigger size britches if I keep making this stuff. :)
Wow, Teresa....that bread looks delicious! I may have to be buying me a cast iron Dutch oven sooner than I had planned!
Hey y'all... I just made my second batch of this bread. This time, I went out to the herb garden and got basil, thyme and oregano, chopped it up and put it into the dough. You just don't know what you are missing until you try this recipe. So much for the weight I've lost recently.
I know. I have got to make some more, but haven't been home long enough to do that.
The nice thing about this bread is that if you are gone and you aren't there long enough to start to bake it.... just punch it down a few whacks and let it raise again.. lol
I let mine set and raise and punch about 60 some hours..
it was yummy.
I am going to add cinnamon to my next batch..
lordly but I love cinnamon bread.
