DUTCH CRUNCH BREAD LOAF RECIPE CRACK
Some bread crocks can't withstand the intensity of being heated empty and are bound to crack when nothing's inside. While this pot is often used in France to make perfectly cooked potatoes, it’s also a game-changer when it comes to bread baking in a Dutch oven. The arrival of Emile Henry’s Bread and Potato Pot, a unique Dutch oven, has us eager to bake!

We’re no strangers to baking with steam, but our excitement about this classic method has been rekindled. In turn, this results in bread with a crackly crust and a glossy surface that's beautifully blistered with bubbles. Gently slipping risen yeast dough into a searing hot pot and adding the lid creates steam. The best way to produce steam inside a lidded pot? It's simple: preheat the pot. The steam that's created inside the pot miraculously transforms the dough, ensuring the bread's crust will shatter into delicate shards with each bite. It all starts with bread baking in a Dutch oven (lidded pot), the perfect vessel for making artisan-style loaves. See above water amounts.Making crispy, crusty, golden loaves of bread at home has never been easier. ** Home ground rice flour requires less water. Bake in at preheated 375☏ oven until the topping is mottled and medium browned color. Allow the dough to rise another 30 minutes. Careful not to deflate the dough while adding the topping.

A thick coat will form better cracked patterns. It's better to put a real thick coating on the dough than a thin one. For me, a spoon seems to work best for adding and spreading the Dutch crunch toping. Spread an even coat of Dutch crunch topping on the shaped dough.

Allow the formed loaf of dough to rise about 30 minutes. Set mixed Dutch crunch topping aside for 15 to 20 minutes before applying to dough. It should stick to the partly risen dough and run very little.

It should be the consistency of a real thick gravy, almost like sour cream. Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl, and whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Water (70☏) - 3/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp (for homemade rice flour, use only about 10 or 12 Tbsp of water.)** Don't use Minute Rice.Īctive Dry, Instant, or Bread Machine Yeast - 3 1/2 Tbsp (mostly for flavor) I used 1 cup of uncooked white rice to make the 1 cup of rice flour. Grind until the flour is completely smooth with no lumps. Make sure the blender container is completely dry. You can buy rice flour, but I ground my own rice flour using a Vitamix blender with a regular wet type blade and container. The coating cracks and browns making Dutch Crunch Bread. When the dough finishes rising you bake it. You use rice flour to make a paste that coats partially risen bread dough. This makes enough Dutch Crunch topping to coat 2 (1 1/2 lb) loaves or about 1 dozen bread rolls. Make any shape of loaf you desire, or you can make a dozen bread rolls. Prepare your favorite white bread dough, allow it to rise once and form it into a loaf or two. This tastes and looks excactly what you get from a bakery. This recipe uses your favorite white bread dough and a rice flour paste to create Dutch Crunch Bread (also known as Tiger Bread or Alligator Bread).
