No Spend January - Bread Making

 One of the things I try to do each month is to make meals from items I already have. This month I won't be buying bread, but I found a great easy recipe on Frugal Fit Mom

The only things I did differently: When "resting the bread" while the oven warms up, I put the dough on parchment paper (measured to fit the Dutch oven) and then just lowered it into the pan once it had warmed in the oven. I also brushed the dough with olive oil before baking. I was really happy with the result of the bread. I did find it worked better when left to rise overnight. Although Christine uses glass bowls to mix the dough, it is better to use something else when baking with yeast (I have an ancient Tupperware bowl I use).
