One Pot Bread

One-Pot-Bread

StreuselThis one pot bread is dangerous!  Why?

It dirtied one pot from mix to rise to bake and it rose and baked in about 90 minutes.  Start to finish (including a very impatient cooling period) I had this homemade bread dunked in olive oil and salt in 2 hours!

I used my versatile pampered chef rockcrok to make this bread.  Adapted from a tasty bread recipe from Food 52, (my go-to website for all things food and kitchen and just plain beautiful), this bread is a no-fuss bread.

With a nice crisp crust and a soft crumb, it stands about 2 inches high but is not dense. Also, it’s a great dipping bread, a great slopping up gravy type of bread.  This is your easy weekend bread.  Start it after lunch and have it ready to serve with dinner.

I liken it to focaccia.  Next time I would like to try pouring it out on a baking sheet and letting it rise a bit and baking it like focaccia.  Sprinkle it with some parmesan, maybe some sun-dried tomatoes!
