    Plant Pot Bread Recipe- JTG

    Last Friday my class made 31 plant pot loaves - totally delicious - with homage to Jamie Oliver.

    Why not have a go.

    Makes 4 x 5inch plant pots

    570g wholemeal flour
    2tsp salt
    1tsp muscovado sugar or similar
    1pkt dried yeast
    enough warm water
    4 terracotta plant pots - plastic ones not so good

    1. I always mix yeast, sugar and warm water to get things going.
    2. Season flour and gradually add water/yeast mixture.
    3. Form dough then knead thoroughly.
    4. Add in sundried toms or olives or garlic, or all during kneading.
    5. Place in oiled plant pots and leave until risen above top
    6. 30-40 mins at 150C
    7. Remove from plant pot with a sharp knife - always sticks - if anyone can think of a way to stop it let me know (HATH?).

    Knocks bread-machine stuff into a cocked hat.

    Next week vegetable soup in a wellingto boot.

    Thanks for this!

    I really fancy trying this at home (no, I've no kids, I just like cooking!)

    Can the pots be washed and reused?

    ETA: can you line the inside with a strip of baking parchment? I use it for most of my baking and find it really helps with the non-sticking of things

        And I hope Jamie Oliver gives credit to the Welsh! This is a classic Welsh recipe. Sorry, my OH being Welsh, he points these things out to me on a regular basis

          I think that they stick because terracotta/clay is porous - I think that I'll line my pots with parchment or foil, perhaps, like OWG.

          BTW, for those who don't like the idea of using old pots, Wilko are selling 4 1/2 inch terracotta pots for 29p each at the moment!

            Oh, yummy.
            I'm going to try your recipe with a slight modification...4 mins in a microwave instead of the oven. Idea lifted from Chas Griffin's book

              I'd be interested to hear how you get on. How do you get a crust in a microwave?

                Ah yes. You don't get no crust in the microwave. But kids don't eat their crusts anyway

                          May be I was a very strange child. I always loved the crusts and usually ended up eating everone elses. Hair never curled.

                          The old wives tale I was brought up with is that it was the burnt crust of toast that gave you curly hair - or was I just a victim of being made to add burnt food?

                          Mus mention this to my therapist.

                            We used to fight over the crusts in our house, Dad me and my sister loved the crust of a fresh white split tin with real butter.....

                              Especially when it was still warm from the oven - which is how most bread would have been eaten throughout history.
