Tulikivi Bake Oven Recipes — Cranberry Bread

INGREDIENTS

  1. 1 cup of unbleached wheat flour
  2. 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour
  3. 2 tsp of salt
  4. 8 oz of stiff sourdough starter
  5. 1-1/4 cup of water
  6. 3-1/8 oz of dried cranberries
  7. 2-1/2 oz of toasted walnuts


Makes one large loaf. Make sure to time the heating of your oven and rising of the dough accordingly.


STEP ONE 

In a large bowl, roughly mix together all of the ingredients. Use a water temperature (start with 85°F or 29°C) that will result in a dough between 78-80°F or 26-27°C.


STEP TWO

Cover and place in a warm area to ferment for three hours. Stretch and fold the dough every 30-45 minutes.


STEP THREE

Bring the oven temp up to 450°F or 230°C by directly firing the bake oven. Let the oven “soak” or equalize for an hour minimum for more even baking.


STEP FOUR

Pre-shape the dough into a tight ball, place on parchment paper and cover with a large inverted bowl. Let rise in a warm place for 2 hours.


STEP FIVE

Preheat a Dutch oven (e.g. a 3 litre Kermansavi HotPot) in your Tulikivi Bake Oven for 30 minutes.

The temperature – a chilly nine degrees Fahrenheit – and the accompanying humidity delicately kissed each branch and twig of every tree along the waterways. The landscape on this January day was comfortable in its coldness.
