Bread storage <bags|baskets|bins|boxes>?
Since starting to bake bread in a Roemertopf, I have had repeatable
successes in baking my (40% rye) bread. However, the shape of the loaf is distinctly unconventional. Not entirely unexpected, since the only Roemertopf available in my part of the world was really intended for baking large chickens. Asking Google for advice on "bread storage" turned up the following: http://www.cooksillustrated.com/food...6&enotes= yes Any other offers? Felix Karpfen -- Felix Karpfen |

Lose the Roemertopf or 2. Freeze bread as soon as it cools to warm, in plastic bags, whole or in pieces or 3. Cool it long enough to slice it, then freeze the slices in 1-day sized packages Thaw it when the time comes by microwavery. Electric knives are good for slicing soft loaves. Enclosing cooling loaves in kraft-paper bags can subdue crust crackling if that is desired. -- Dicky |

This usually means putting a piece of plastic on the bread cutting board and setting the cut end of the loaf on it. That is good for about 3 days. it ages a little, but so do I. Sometimes I like the left out bread better the second day. You may get good exercise for your teeth on the third day depending on the weather. Regards, Charles |

There's an Australian SD forum, maybe you know it: http://sourdough.com.au/ It's a posting group, a resources list, etc... they even have a container shipment of brotforms to sell. They might be able to point you to some local covered baking cloches. Will |

And I wondered what that was designed to achieve. Two queries answered with one hit! Many thanks to you and to the other respondents, who were good enough to share their experience.

Someone (think it was Dicky) wrote: "Thaw it when the time comes by microwavery." Are you mad? Even if this works, I refuse to do it. Machine kneaded lilly white dough raised in bread pans baked in cold stoneless ovens devoid of steam, OK, I've seen some pics of apparently decent bread baked this way. So freeze it for future nukage it too? Spare it further torture and leave it in your freezer dude. hutchndi |
