I made this loaf of bread yesterday experimenting with chiltepin. It turned out to be pretty spectacular and my best yet.<\/p>\n
I recently purchased some thermometers, one for the oven and one for the inside of the bread that has helped a lot in determining how long to bake. I discovered that the maximum temperature on my oven which states 230\u00b0 C actually only reaches a maximum of 200 degrees C. For this reason, my prior loaves were not adequately baked given my assumption that they were cooking at a temperature much higher than they were in reality.<\/p>\n
I also found scoring the loaf with olive oil on the blade made for a much finer cut. The end result yields a loaf that looks much cleaner.<\/p>\n
Also, before putting the loaf in the Dutch oven, I sprayed it generously with water before putting the lid on. This in turn led to turn in the crust a much darker golden brown that I’ve ever been able to do previously.<\/p>\n
The loaf costs about 10 pesos to make (roughly .50 cents).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
