Cast Iron Buttermilk Bread
Finally more or less perfected this loaf last month. It makes for a tangy sour dough like loaf. It'll also hold for weeks without molding mainly due to the aged dough.
Heat and melt and then cool to lukewarm:
1 cup buttermilk
And 1/4 cup butter.
Add 1 ts yeast after cooled and let sit until proofed.
Mix:
1ts salt
2 Ts sugar
3 cups bread flower
1/2 cup water +
Handful of corn meal
5 min knead.
Let sit 24 hrs and then bake 1 hour at 450 degrees in a covered seasoned cast iron dutch oven/ skillet. Sprinkle bottom with more cornmeal. Dough will be very wet and will barely hold a shape.
