How to Make Bread from Scratch in a Romertopf Clay Cooker

[@CFinch360]

Cute and funny video: Just some tips from a long time baker-Add the salt to the flour, not directly to the yeast/water mixture. Salt can kill or at least inhibit yeast. And be sure to let the dough rise in a warm but not hot place-if your kitchen is cold, it could take a very long time to rise on the counter top. Some people place the bowl on a wooden cutting board which is set on top of a bowl of hot water. Others turn their oven light on (only the light) and let it rise in the oven. Happy baking!

Oh my god. You are the queen of the pun! Also, pretty good at Dad jokes. Oh, and the bread looks good too. Cheers from Australia.

[@GinasFoodCourt]

Thank you so much!! What a nice thing to say, I do consider myself pretty punny :) Im so glad you found the channel, thank you for watching!

You're awesome, Gina. I never stumbled across a more unexpected gem. Thank you! :)

[@GinasFoodCourt]

@@Violet-nn1rm What a kind compliment, thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I just posted a new video from a trip to Italy, you should check it out:)

You. Are. HILARIOUS! What a breath of fresh air seeing a young person with such a great sense of humor. I LOVED how you made fun of your family - something I do on "special" occasions. Keep doing what you're doing, Gina! I learned quite a bit from your video, and now, I know how to use my new Romertopf clay pot for baking bread (which I love doing.) Be well, sweetie!

[@GinasFoodCourt]

This is one of the nicest comments I’ve ever read, literally made me smile ear to ear, thank you so much for taking the time to write it, Pamela. Making these videos is my favorite hobby and I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed it! Good luck with baking your bread!!

Hi former Jersey girl too here! Cute video! Just suggestion, watch Baking with Jack video on shaping and forming dough..u will get taller loaf, less spread, was a game-changer for me, also, avoid putting hot clay baker on a counter top, drastic temp change could make it crack. Put on towel or silicone mat 🙂

[@GinasFoodCourt]

Thank you so much for the tip, I will definitely check out that video! And I did indeed learn the lesson the hard way about avoiding the counter, not because it cracked the clay but because the counter got a burn mark 😬😂 I’ll keep that in mind for sure

Yay! I'm so happy you are enjoying your Ramertopf! You totally rocked another great video, and I'm sure the bread was amazing! You did a great interpretation of your mother, who I also adore! And as for Penny, it seems she loves your new pad! Can't wait to see it!

[@GinasFoodCourt]

I LOVE the Romertopf, the bread was fantastic! Thank you so much, this video was definitely a lot of fun to make. You and Uncle Mike will have to stop by to see the apartment firsthand!!

[@arlenemurphy804]

Still laughing. Love your presentation

[@GinasFoodCourt]

[@melissaanastasia9648]

I was lucky enough to find my clay pot today for six dollars at a thrift shop! Yay me! I also happened to just find your video on KZbin and you are hilarious! Keep up the good work and all the funny material.

[@GinasFoodCourt]

Thank you so much! And congrats on the steal!!

[@linda5046]

Thanks, Gina. What clay cooker brand and model are you using. Would you buy that again?

[@GinasFoodCourt]

Hi Duncan! I’m using a Rompertopf standard clay cooker, I personally got this one as a gift but it looks like they’re on Amazon for about $90! I would definitely recommend it, I don’t use it very often but it’s great for special occasions!

[@arlenemurphy804]

Hi Gina. What size is that clay baker? Love your video.

[@GinasFoodCourt]

With the lid on, the whole assembly is about 15" Lx 9" W x 5" H! The inside is around 13" ×7"×4", hope this helps!

[@rossman265]

Gina what is the size of your romertopf?

[@GinasFoodCourt]

With the lid on, the whole assembly is about 15” L x 9” W x 5” H! The inside is around 13”x7”x4”, hope this helps!!

[@msheidiyodel]

If I remember right from home economics the bottom rack is for Angel food cake & Anything tall 2nd rack is Baking brownies & biscuits 3rd rack is for Cookies & Cakes & D is for do not use other than broiling 😂 So my question is should I bake my bread on the 2 nd rack ?

[@GinasFoodCourt]

That’s a really good frame of reference to use, I’ve never heard of that rule! I always try to center whatever I’m baking, so the center of the dish is roughly centered in the oven, that way the bottom isn’t too close to the oven floor (which would burn the bottom) and the top isn’t too close to the oven ceiling (which would burn the top), so I agree the second rack would work for bread! You could probably get away with the third rack as well

Come for a bread recipe, stay for a soap opera

[@GinasFoodCourt]

Hahaha I’m SO glad you did!

[@mossgirl]

Very funny 😁 😂

[@GinasFoodCourt]

Thank you so much!

[@methatronn]

Not necessary to submerge in water, just fill with water…

[@GinasFoodCourt]

Thanks for the tip!!

[@josephgough7404]

The search history better be a joke 🤣

[@GinasFoodCourt]

Definitely a joke 😂

[@Revenant_Dancer]
