Have two batches going. One with some sour dough starter and the other as written in the recipe.

I have them in the sous vide bath at 108F. This goes on for 30 minutes.

Looks interesting . You gonna bake in the oven or egg?

nolaegghead · September 2016

@shtgunal3 - guess I have to do it on the egg since I'm posting here

Awesome, too easy, you going to post pics? Would love to see the finished product. How does the sous vide come into play? Does it have to be that warm?

nolaegghead · September 2016

@feef706 There's a step where you put the bag in warm water for 30 minutes. I happen to have a sous vide bath on the counter so it was convenient. Not that I expect it to come out better....

feef706 · September 2016

Ok, I went back an re watched it, I see the 30 mins portion, guess that would be more convenient.

Never made bread before but that doesn't look terribly hard

Jim Lahey's No Knead recipe/technique is even easier.

No braiding!

Can't wait to see the result. @nolaegghead what water temp did you put it in? I may have to try this one this weekend.

NPHuskerFL · September 2016

It won't come out right if you don't wear a Yamaka Carey

nolaegghead · September 2016

@Tjcoley I just arbitrarily picked 108F. Didn't want to kill the yeast.

nolaegghead · September 2016

I'm going to cook these up in about 1.5 hours from now.

nolaegghead · September 2016

I have these in the oven. We got some company and we're all hanging out in the kitchen, so I'm terribly sorry it is not being done in the egg.

Pictures will follow.

We'll let it pass this time, next time we expect a fully write up on how to egg bread

Didn't know there was that kind of sous vide, thought they were all the clip on style...

Just saw that video on Bookface a few days ago. Thawing some frozen dough right now.

Nice @nolaegghead - I've yet to try challah, might need to give this a try, looks too easy.

nolaegghead · September 2016

Conclusion: Both the unadulterated recipe and my sour dough were delicious. I had two people taste them and they both agreed (as I did) the sour dough was better (as you would expect).

I'm going to hang on to this recipe. It's easy, the bread is delicious and it's purdy to look at.

@DMW Dwayne, it's basically a loaf of dinner roll. Very tender, little sweet, rich and 100% flarkin' delicious. I did an egg wash and put some bagel topping on it. Eat with your eyes and all that.

SkinnyV · September 2016

Good cook right there well done sir.

Tjcoley · September 2016

Dang those look great. Nicely done. Thanks for adding another new technique to the arsenal.
