Bread Recipe (I used 1/4 to make the loaf in the video)
Strong white bread flour - 1lb (450g)
Plain flour - 1lb (450g)
Dried yeast - 1oz (28g)
Sugar -1oz (28g)
Salt - 1 oz (I use less)
Tepid (warm) water - about 1 pt (570ml)
Place your Dutch oven near the fire to warm up.
Mix the yeast with the sugar and add to about 1/4 of the water, set aside.
Mix the salt with the flour and make a well in the middle.
Pour in the yeast mixture, a little at a time, drawing in the flour to mix, when the yeast mixture has all gone, continue with the remaining water until you have a stiff Dough that you can handle. (if it is too sticky, add more flour. If it is too dry, add more water.)
Knead to give the Dough stretch and structure, really give it a hard time for a few minutes.
Form the dough into a ball, score with a knife and place in the warm Dutch Oven to rise. It should
double in size, so keep an eye on it.
Once it has proven, knock the air back out of it, knead again and once again, form into a ball or loaf shape.
Place back in the warm Dutch Oven to prove for a second time.
Once it has doubled in size again, scrape some coals away from the fire and place the Dutch Oven on top of them. Pile more coals on the lid and leave to bake. Check after 10 minutes and then regularly to see how it is doing. Tap the base of the loaf, it will sound hollow when done.
Slice, smother in butter and devour!
