Bread problems?

[Anonymous]

My Mom says that foil will increase the burn. And to lay a piece of parchment paper loosly over the top of the dough. Don't let it get caught in the lid and it just needs to be big enought to cover the top of the dough. Also keep an eye on it on windy days and move it out of the coals for a bit if needed.

That makes perfect sense! I bake on my weber grill and was using that as a point of reference. A dutch oven is close quarters for rising bread. Paper would displace some heat. I also put my oven IN the grill as a wind barrier.

The stepping stone is a good idea as a base for it.

I'm impressed by all the serious replies to this thread. We've got quite a "breadth" of knowledge here on BoB. Actually, I rarely burn it like this. There was a bit of an Easterly blowing up the ally this time, and I wasn't paying attention to the coals. Yes, Scottie, the burnt parts scraped off quite easily.
Beetle, your bread looks fantastic, and your wit is razor sharp!

Speaking of bread porn - George, could you provide us with a crumb shot?

Will cornmeal suffice? :lol:

Bread is like poison....It would make me poop sideways. I call it jailhouse food, however I sure could satisfy myself with some ribs cooked in there!

Good to hear. My mom was threatening to drive up there and give you a spankin if you threw it away :lol:

Your ma sounds like quite a woman, Scottie. I'd consider it an honor, and I'm not even the sub type. Wait... Oops! For a second I thought this was the rev's S&M thread.
