FLOWER POT BREAD


Flower Pot Bread For Spring, Easter, or any Garden Party try this bread.

Any regular bread, either white or whole wheat recipe can be baked in
clay flower pots for interesting shapes and special brown crusts.
Here is how to prepare pots for Flower Pot Bread:

1. Buy unpainted clay pots - the good old-fashioned red clay kind. The 3
inch pots make individual loaves. The 5-inch pots make nice medium-sized
loaves. Five this size should be enough for most bread recipes.

2. Scrub pots thoroughly in hot soapy water. Rinse well under hot
running water. Dry overnight.

3. Oil pots well on the inside, including the rim with vegetable oil
until the pot will not absorb any more. You'll be surprised how much oil
this will take.

4. Set the pots on a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil in a cold oven.
Heat to 400 degrees then turn off the heat and leave the pots in the
oven to cool. When completely cooled oil them again, repeating the
process in the oven. Now the pots are ready to use.

5. Be sure to grease them well before each use, especially around the
rim. Don't worry about the hole in the bottom of the pot. The bread
dough will quickly seal the hole closed. Try one of your favorite
recipes baked this way. Whatever recipe you use, let the dough rise as
usual to the shaping stage. Then shape into balls just large enough to
half-fill chosen pots.

6. Put dough into prepared pots and let rise in a warm place until dough
is level with tops of pots. Baking time will vary with kind of bread and
size of pots used. Bake until loaves sound hollow when tapped lightly on
top. Use same temperature your recipe requires for these
specially-shaped loaves. Let loaves stand in pots about 5 minutes after
baking before loosening carefully and turning out on racks to finish
cooling.

Use the same process with a saucer for serving the butter.

I use a bread machine and like the square little loaves, but I thought this was super!
