KOUE OOND TEENOOR WARM OOND METODE VIR BROODBAK

Tested by Petro Borchard

Vir die brood bakkers:
Ek het baie lank gevat voor ek ‘n baksel brood op die Koue Oond manier probeer het. Glo my, dit WERK! Sodoende kry ek meer brood gebak in korter tyd met minder krag verbruik – en die resultate is 100%.
“I made two loaves from one batch of dough, shaped them exactly the same and proofed them exactly the same way. Then I put one bread into cold Dutch Oven and cold oven. Baked it for 55 min with the lid off for the last 15 min. Then I put the second bread into the hot Dutch Oven and oven and baked for 40 min.
The results are astonishing.
Thus far, I used to pre-heat my oven at 250ºC with the Dutch Oven in for about 45 min – 1 hour before I put the loaf in. Now I know I don’t have to do that, as the cold bake is as good, if not better.

Time and energy saved! Yay!”
