Washing Up
I know there's another thread for this, so I hope I don't get a spanking for being redundant. I was so thrilled with how this first loaf came out, that I have TWO of them started on the counter to bake tomorrow.
BTW, between DW, hungry son and his friend, and yours truly, the first loaf is history. Fantastic flavor even without any butter or EVOO. I can hardly wait for the next two loaves. I went out and bought two good cotton towels for this recipe, and I'll see how they hold up tomorrow when I pack them with my bench flour.
I also bought an enameled cast iron dutch oven today at Kohls. It was on sale for 20% off, and DW had a coupon for an additional 30% off. Got it for $35, but I'm concerned that the grip on the lid is only rated for 350 F, and I made the bread at 450 F. If it has a melt down, I'll ask my brother to make a grip out of some brass bar stock on his lathe and try that.
