What are the best ways to bake Serrador bread?

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,620
There are a few different tools that we can use and some of them are going to be better than others.

3
00:00:07,950 --> 00:00:12,720
So let's take a look at some that are that you can use that you might already have around your house.

4
00:00:13,770 --> 00:00:14,940
The first is a Dutch oven.

5
00:00:15,540 --> 00:00:24,750
So a Dutch oven or the combo cooker cassana combo cooker are going to be the two best options for baking

6
00:00:24,750 --> 00:00:26,290
your your bread in your home of him.

7
00:00:26,730 --> 00:00:34,260
The reason why is because these two tools will allow you to capture the steam that is inside the bread,

8
00:00:34,410 --> 00:00:37,170
which will allow you to have a beautiful oven spring.

9
00:00:37,810 --> 00:00:45,630
The benefit of the steam is that it allows the crust to take more time to set in, and so it allows

10
00:00:45,630 --> 00:00:50,600
more spring to occur before that crust has actually formed and developed.

11
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:57,120
So it's really important to use either the Dutch oven or the combo cast iron combo cooker set.

12
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:03,130
This way you will get the best possible oven spring as well as a beautiful layer that forms on the outside.

13
00:01:03,810 --> 00:01:07,980
Also, you can allow them to get incredibly hot because you preheat them in the oven.

14
00:01:08,220 --> 00:01:11,540
And I also just think that they're safer than all the other options.

15
00:01:11,550 --> 00:01:14,940
So, you know, these are definitely going to give you the best results.

16
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,670
The next option is a baking stone.

17
00:01:18,150 --> 00:01:21,780
So you can certainly use a baking stone when you're baking your your bread.

18
00:01:22,530 --> 00:01:29,160
You want to make sure that you do allow it to preheat for at least one hour with the with the oven set

19
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:29,780
this way.

20
00:01:30,540 --> 00:01:32,340
It also is very hot.

21
00:01:32,340 --> 00:01:38,640
In order to get that really nice oven spring, you need to have a hot surface for that bread to sit

22
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:39,210
on top of.

23
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:46,890
So this way, all the microorganisms start to produce more gas, which allows that oven spring to occur.

24
00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:53,340
So with a baking stone, you're also going to maybe need a pizza peel in order to easily slide or slide

25
00:01:53,370 --> 00:01:55,080
the the bread off.

26
00:01:55,950 --> 00:01:57,210
You could also use a cutting board.

27
00:01:57,210 --> 00:02:01,110
I've use that in the past with some parchment paper underneath and that will certainly work.

28
00:02:03,310 --> 00:02:09,520
The next option is a bread pan, so if you're trying to make a loaf that you want to be able to slice

29
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,750
the bread, pan is obviously going to be a great option.

30
00:02:12,860 --> 00:02:20,200
The the nice thing with a bread pan is that you can do all your final shopping, put it into that bread

31
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:26,750
pan and you can cook it even without really doing a heavy score on it and still get a beautiful bread.

32
00:02:27,220 --> 00:02:31,990
So we'll talk a little bit later about how you can use a bread pan to to make that make your loaves.

33
00:02:33,250 --> 00:02:38,360
And, you know, when you're in a pinch, you can absolutely just use a baking sheet.

34
00:02:38,380 --> 00:02:45,310
So if you have some sort of baking pan or cooking sheet cookie sheet, you can actually use that as

35
00:02:45,850 --> 00:02:48,810
the base of your of your bread.

36
00:02:49,090 --> 00:02:56,020
Now, with either a baking pan or baking stone, you are going to want to add moisture into the oven

37
00:02:56,020 --> 00:02:56,500
as well.

38
00:02:56,770 --> 00:03:06,280
And you can add moisture by just using another baking pan or cookie sheet as well as anything else that's

39
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,960
oven safe that you can put in the oven with with some water.

40
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,400
Just make sure that you're careful not to splash any water on the glass of your underwear.

41
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:16,660
Otherwise it might crack.
