Did some Camp Bread yesterday. It was OK but today I made a few changes and it was really good!
Changed from Gold Medal Bread flour to King Arthur Bread flour, added 1 more cup of flour. Added a little more yeast and got a new pack instead of what has been sitting in the cabinet. Cooked in the same DO as yesterday but at 400 dome not 450 as yesterday.
Crunchy crust but not as hard as the last one. Much taller loaf. This bread is really good!

That looks absolutely delicious! Great job (for a gator fan) Seriously, might try that. I've been making no-knead bread for years, it's really good but heavy.

Dave,That looks fantastic ! But, I have to ask. Most of the upscale grocery stores (Whole Foods, Central Market, the better HEBs) have a bakery where you can buy inexpensive artisan breads. Do you find that making breads on the Egg is much better than they sell?__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious

Plus, a lot of people talked about mixing it in bags and taking it camping and cooking it. Sounds pretty simple and a way to have great bread while camping.

And fresh yeast does make a difference. (if you buy the jar store in the frig) Your loaf looks bueno!Large, small and mini now Egging in Rowlett Tx

I'm going to chime in on this. We tend to assign a subjective value on our food based on what how much it costs. Would lobster taste so extravagant if it costs as much as chicken? Ummm...it would still be damn good, but the answer is "probably not".
Here's why bread making is awesome. Prerequisite: liking bread. Case in point: Flour is cheap, so is boston butt. Why so much pulled pork but not so much baked bread cooked on the egg? I'd argue fresh baked bread is way better than old bread, but freshly pulled pork is not much better than reheated left over pulled pork. In a blind taste test, you can easily tell between fresh artisan bread and re-heated artisan bread. Not so much with pulled pork (source - me eating all of the above many times).
So if you like fresh bread, bake it, because it's really hard to buy.

I've been meaning to try camp bread for awhile. Might jsut give it a go this weekend. How big (diameter) does the loaf turn out? We're going out of town this weekend and meeting some people who have a mini egg. Could you cook it on that? or maybe make two smaller loafs?
