The electric power was out for about 8 hours, just as the sourdough bread has started rising. I suggested to hubby that we get out the charcoal and a dutch oven to bake the bread. The setup was in the shop out of the windy weather.

Here is the bread after about 30 minutes baking. It is ready to remove.

This photo is indoors, ready to remove from the cast iron bread pan. 

This pic is both loaves, cooling indoors. I am happy to say that the bread turned out perfect! The taste is wonderful, our own Sourdough!

Sourdough Bread

Hubby received this cookbook back in 2003, and never used it.  Last week he got it out (after I pulled it out) and looked for sourdough bread recipes. He found a recipe that he wanted to try, he has never made bread other than biscuits.  There it was, Page 83, Sourdough Buttermilk Bread. I assisted in cutting the recipe in half, from 4 loaves to 2 loaves.  His first attempt resulted in dense bread. Today, he tried it again...and made sure the yeast was good. The result, pretty good. He is hooked, there will be homemade bread every week.
