SC - bread

[Christina van Tets]

Hello the list!

I'm finally here in Outremer, and as a result have a small backlog (about a 
dozen lists) to get through, so please forgive any cows I'm inadvertently 
dragging out of ditches (Belgian expression for the waking of sleeping 
dogs...)

As to the bread rising twice or once, I tend to do whatever is convenient at 
the time, partly because I enjoy the two different versions of bread they 
produce.  I cannot remember which I did for the attempt with the cooking 
pot, but both would have had the same effect (ie.  the skin being formed on 
the top, the bottom still being squishy).  As all my baking tins are large 
and rectangular I made the decision to cook on the floor of the potjie as 
though it were a normal period oven (I could not remember seeing any 
description of bread baked in a tin from within period;  all the recipes 
requiring hoops etc. create cakes IIRC).
