Tulikivi Bake Oven Recipes — Cranberry Bread

INGREDIENTS

  1. 1 cup of unbleached wheat flour
  2. 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour
  3. 2 tsp of salt
  4. 8 oz of stiff sourdough starter
  5. 1-1/4 cup of water
  6. 3-1/8 oz of dried cranberries
  7. 2-1/2 oz of toasted walnuts


Makes one large loaf. Make sure to time the heating of your oven and rising of the dough accordingly.


STEP ONE 

In a large bowl, roughly mix together all of the ingredients. Use a water temperature (start with 85°F or 29°C) that will result in a dough between 78-80°F or 26-27°C.


STEP TWO

Cover and place in a warm area to ferment for three hours. Stretch and fold the dough every 30-45 minutes.


STEP THREE

Bring the oven temp up to 450°F or 230°C by directly firing the bake oven. Let the oven “soak” or equalize for an hour minimum for more even baking.


STEP FOUR

Pre-shape the dough into a tight ball, place on parchment paper and cover with a large inverted bowl. Let rise in a warm place for 2 hours.


STEP FIVE

Preheat a Dutch oven (e.g. a 3 litre Kermansavi HotPot) in your Tulikivi Bake Oven for 30 minutes.

The Haights typically burn about 1-2 cords of wood per winter. Birch is the best wood to burn because of its efficiency, but because they enjoy the crackling sound of the fire, they mostly burn larch, fir, and hemlock.

The drive along the snow-packed road from Jackson Hole to Wilson, Wyoming was surreal. The temperature – a chilly nine degrees Fahrenheit – and the accompanying humidity delicately kissed each branch and twig of every tree along the waterways. The landscape on this January day was comfortable in its coldness.
