Tips for baking bread in cast iron
- Preheat the bread pot with its lid in the oven and lower the dough safely into the hot pot using the silicone bread sling, which is heat resistant up to 250 °C.
- Bake with the lid on first so the bread can rise, then remove the lid towards the end for a beautifully crisp crust.
- The two rectangular sets and the round pot with proofing basket come with a matching basket: let the dough prove in it, then turn it out into the preheated pot.
- The bread spice blend of caraway, coriander, anise and fennel gives your loaf a fine, subtle aroma.
Frequently asked questions about bread pots and baking ingredients
What is the difference between active and regular baking malt?
Active baking malt supplies enzymes that convert starch into sugar and thus feed the yeast; as a guide, use around 30 g per 1 kg of flour. Regular baking malt, made from roasted and ground grain, mainly improves browning, volume and flavour and is added together with the salt after about 2 minutes of kneading.
How much fresh yeast does one sachet of dry yeast replace?
One 11 g sachet replaces a 42 g cube of fresh yeast, with no need to dissolve it first. With 6 sachets you always have a supply for spontaneous baking.
