Yo Steve. I'm a 52 year old guy, whose never posted a comment before and never baked anything but packaged brownie mix. I just had to give kudos to you. After watching a whole bunch of videos on baking bread, I figured I'd give real baking a try. I settled on your video and methods as the clearest and easiest to follow. Awesome, awesome job! I've just made my 3rd loaf and have gotten nothing but compliments from family, friends and coworkers. The skillet method worked perfectly. The loaves came out golden brown and actually look delicious. The crust was slightly crunchy, the inside fluffy and perfect. When I told coworkers the loaf was homemade, they complimented my wife. When I told them I baked it, they asked if I had gotten a bread machine. Funny thing is, using an aromatic olive oil makes the bread smell slightly like pizza--so, I give this warning: do not transport loaf to friend's house in a vehicle; it will make the whole car smell too good and you'll have to fight off the passengers with a stick. hehehe

i've baked a lot of bread over the years (a lot with the bread machine, but not always) and i've watched a lot of youtube videos of others making bread. you're right, steve's videos and instructions are great. steve makes this look so easy, it's almost like meditation. i am going to be making this one very soon. i commend you, basset, for being inspired to try your hand at bread baking.

Steve, i found your videos a few days ago. I tried other bread videos; which resulted in a lot of pain and little success-- plus, weird results. I just pulled your bread out of the oven 30 minutes ago. Loved it. My daughter woke up to the smell, and had taste. She was amazed. Can't wait for the grandkids & great-grands to try. At 71, and disabled cooking has become a problem; and i had almost given up on bread making. Then, i saw this video. It seemed, too easy. I'm estaticly happy with the results. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. It feels so good to be able to do something special for my family again 😊 ALMIGHTY GOD Bless & Keep you & yours Safe , in good Health and full of HIS Joy, Peace & Love 🙏❤🙏

My grandmother actually used to put the loves straight on the floor of the wood oven, where there were some coals and burning wood to the side, after wood had burned and heated the oven for a while. She would make about 10-12 big loaves, to last 2 weeks, since it was a big job to heat up such a big oven and make the though for a big family (all village women would use the same oven, the owner of which would preheat it)

(1) You can use beer as the wet ingredient, (2) I don’t use the fan (aero bake), (3) I frequently leave the dough out to proof overnight, especially in cooler weather, (4) I never use a pan of water or spray the oven... it can damage some ovens, and (5) baste the dough in oil, proof it in an 8” skillet, and then put it on the cookie sheet to bake. The oil will prevent the bread from sticking to the cookie sheet. Steve

[@vrandrada123]

Donna G. Personally I put an aluminum foil cover (dull side down) during the last 10-15 minutes of baking so as not to make the top too brown or crusty. Also putting a tin of water at the bottom layer of the oven during the whole cooking time makes the bread more moist and less crusty all over.
