Pot Bread 900g flour 15ml salt 10g instant yeast 625ml warm water 30ml melted butter 1 egg You need a 30cm cast-iron pot with a lid and a charcoal or wood fire for this recipe. Mix the flour, salt and yeast in a bowl. Add the water and butter and mix to form a stiff dough. Turn it out onto a lightly floured kitchen surface and knead for 10 to 15 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Return the dough to a bowl and cover it with clingfilm. Find a warm spot in the kitchen and leave it there to rise until it doubles in size. Once it has doubled, knead again for 3 minutes, then cut into 8 equal pieces, rolling each into a ball. Place 7 balls around the edge of your greased cast-iron pot, placing the 8th in the middle. Beat the egg in a cup, using a fork, and brush this egg wash over the rolls. Cover with the lid and allow to rise for 20 minutes. When you are ready to bake, remove the pot lid, place a single sheet of newspaper over the pot and replace the lid. This will help create a good seal. If you want, you can trim the paper, but it will burn off anyway. Set the pot on a bed of hot coals and place a spadeful of coals on the lid. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes. Allow to cool completely before turning the bread out of the pot and breaking it into rolls.
“Baking bread on a fire is a neat trick and a really strong addition to a bloke’s credentials.” 38
