Your gift to yourself will definitely pay dividends, esp. with the insane cost of bread. You may want to just use all-purpose white flour on your 1st go; some people dislike too much whole wheat - I have found 4.5 Cups of White; 2.5 Cups of whole wheat is a good ratio for people that dislike the taste of whole wheat (like my kids). The stage to mix in the herbs would be when you are preheating the oven; just mix/fold the herbs into the dough. Do not forget to preheat the dutch oven. I would love to see your end product...Enjoy and Merry Christmas.

Thank you for your comment, I have a question though…did you at least try following the steps mentioned in the video with a Dutch oven? Sounds like your past bread frustrations have lead you to dismiss this process….I can relate. However, we’ll simply have to agree to disagree. A good quality Dutch oven with a heavy enough lid that is preheated adequately will create the ideal conditions to bake an easy Artisan bread. The Dutch oven retains its heat (temperature) during theBaking process. Baking in this environment for 30 minutes and then removing the lid baking for another 20 minutes guarantees a delicious crust and a fully cooked loaf of bread. This recipe does not over complicate making a delicious loaf of bread.

Thanks, and welcome to the channel

Your sentiment reminds me of a time I was in a Russian Credit Union and a customer in line exploded at another for speaking Polish….this guy was the exception, as you are….I would love to understand the psychology behind your comment, take care (заботиться), I wish you well.

with butter

Substituting the sesame oil for (1) Avocado oil (2) Olive oil. But you'll lose the nutty flavour. If taking the oil out completely perhaps use a sesame seed vinegar - never try this, but in my next batch (I make this often, as a to go to snack) I will.

This is one of those recipes were butter would not work well...not at all.

@@justaddbutter7818 This channel is fake, how do you call yourself "Just add Butter", then go and tell me to NOT Just add Butter?

@@beckyebosky978 I l❤ your sense of humour (I thought your original comment was tongue-in-cheek but was not sure)...LOL..on a side note, the name "just add butter" is a reference to growing up in a home with parents that would think Italian food was exotic and added flavour by adding butter to a dish 🙃😆🤣

I use an enamelled cast iron casserole dish. The Cast Iron has a heavy lid, hence, plenty of steam gets trapped & retains a high heat without the heat fluctuating greatly - this is what gives the bread the artisan look and taste. This is also why the Dutch oven/cast iron is ideal. Will not turn out as well, but could also work (subpar) …. place dough inside an oven safe (at 500 degrees) pot, casserole dish with a securely fitting lid, the tighter the seal the better. In lieu of that, place a stainless-steel bowl or a deep roasting pan, or another oven safe bowl covering the loaf while baking. Please note, in all cases the material has to be oven safe at 500 degrees.

It’s a forgotten recipe from the Great Depression Era…and one of my dad comfort foods from childhood (one of mine too). It is packed with nutrition (less than $2/meal). If you like peas, than you’ll enjoy this😋 I should also mention, you can use can or frozen peas and skip the cooking of the peas. Enjoy!

@@justaddbutter7818 wow I've been seeing a lot of foods from that time recently Thanks a lot for the tips ^^

Preheat at 500 with Dutch Oven in the oven. Be careful with the lid. Keep the temp at 500 for the whole process (30 mins with lid on; 20 with lid off)

That’s a lot of bread!…this bread is very filling. At times I make 2 - I give the other loaf away.

@@breadhouse3951 okay

Why 😲 not Iam eager ☺️😀 of bread recipe sn enjoy the taste of home made bread v very much 😸😃🤗🤤😋

FYI You don’t need to mix different flour….could simply use 100% all purpose white flour….I am sure you will be pleased with your results.

You can use any, but “bread flour” works best I think. More chew.

Any. Regular all purpose. In the video I used whole wheat/white. You do not need the mix. My kids prefer 100% white flour. However, my favourite is a mix of white (4/7) teff (1.5/7) and whole wheat (1.5/7). I would not make with 100% teff. Teff flour is harder to find, teff is usually sold in bulk stores.

My pleasure. Thank you for your kind words. You can use any flour…just give it 18-24 hours before attempting to bake…enjoy. Also, I would love to see how yours turns out.
