Sheepherder's Bread image

A wonderful, fine textured bread baked in a iron Dutch oven. this is an old Basque sheep herder's recipe. originally it was baked over an open fire, out on the range using hot coals on top and bottom of Dutch oven. it is enormous, but well worth the time and labor of love to make it.

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 1h40m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups very hot water
1/2 cup margarine or 1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
9 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, unsifted
salad oil

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine water, butter, sugar and salt. Stir until butter melts and cool to 110 to 115 degrees. Stir in yeast, cover and set in warm place until bubbly, about 15 minutes.
  • *Add 5 C flour and beat to form thick batter. Stir in enough of remaining flour (about 3 1/2 cups) to form stiff dough. Turn out on floured board and knead until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes), adding flour as needed to prevent sticking. Turn dough into greased bowl, cover and let rise in warm place until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours. Punch down and knead to form smooth ball. I knead the dough 3 times.
  • Grease inside of dutch oven and inside of lid with salad oil. Place dough in dutch oven and cover with lid to let rise for the third time. Let raise in warm place until dough pushes up lid about 1/2 inch (watch closely).
  • Bake covered with lid in 375 degree oven for 12 minutes, carefully remove lid and bake for another 30 to 35 minutes, or until loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from oven and turn out on rack to cool.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always yield the best results. If possible, try to use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to season your food to taste. Start with a small amount of salt and pepper and add more as needed.
  • Cook Over Medium Heat: Most recipes will call for cooking over medium heat. This will help prevent your food from burning or sticking.
  • Don't Overcook Your Food: Overcooked food is tough and chewy. Cook your food just until it is cooked through to avoid this.
  • Let Your Meat Rest: After cooking meat, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the meat more tender.
  • Use a Cast Iron Skillet: Cast iron skillets are great for cooking all sorts of dishes. They retain heat well and can be used on the stovetop or in the oven.
