I am not baking today but do have corned beef in the crock pot!

 

[Aria]

That is why I baked Rye Bread (firs time) to go with
Corn Beef Dinner. Heard from my neighbor....he cut
into his loaf...he said it had a super taste and color.
Best Rye. Looking forward to trying it.

Blooie, Your Loaf Looks Super.

Thanks. I didn’t score it deeply enough but had some toast with cream cheese on it this morning and it was sooooo good!

Will you share the recipe you used? Looks like one
I would enjoy trying.

Sure! But we’re on our way to Cody at the moment so it’ll have to be when I get back. Too hard to type on the phone.

GREAT.

You know I do not like ROUND LOAVES

I thought it was just me who didn't like round loaves

What is it about round loaves...?

If it's a good chewy bread with good crust, it's ok. If it's supposed to be for sandwiches, it's a pain in the neck.

What kind of loaf pan could I use for GF sourdough? Do I still need to bake it (in the loaf pan) inside the Dutch oven, or does a loaf pan take the place of the DO?

I'm still learning about sourdough, still in love with the flavor, so I put up with the round loaves. Mine haven't risen very tall, so I slice the slices in half and have the top piece and the bottom piece. I like the top one better.

Sally PB, I usually weigh the dough pound and 1/4 I would go with 8 1/4 x 4 and if it weighed 1 pound and 3/4 I would use 9 x 5 tin. When I have my two pound loaves I use my large Antique Tins. Just fit your dough to the tin. Place the dough in an make sure it has room to rise.

 

[Sally PB]

Aria, thank you! There's usually no worry about it rising too much. GF doesn't rise like regular wheat flour bread.

I have a couple of glass bread pans. Can glass pans go into a 500 degree oven? (I'm assuming yes, but you know what happens when you assume!)

 

[Aria]

I dislike using 500 degree ovens. Bread for me works at 450 degrees and I do believe glass would be ok. Not sure. Some person on this thread would know. I never had a problem having my oven at 450 degrees.
