This method works wonders for stale bread as well, and you can keep the soft (cut) side softer by wrapping that bit in some foil.This seems counterintuitive, but if you've got some soft crust bread you want crisped up, crank your oven up, then wet the bread where you want it crispy (running a wet hand over it is about enough water), and chuck it in the oven directly on the rack and bake for a few minutes until you're satisfied.Rejuvenate the crust (best tip I ever received).Place them in the oven and bake for about 35 minutes until golden brown. Use back of the soon to spread the paste on the top of risen loaves. Can cover with a tea towel (after complete dryness) and then just leave alone. Place empty dutch oven and lid in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. In a small mixing bowl whisk until smooth all of the ingredients for the topping. If cut, place cut side face down on board or countertop. Dutch Crunch 'can be added to any type of bread,' American Food Roots reiterates, 'but it typically tops soft, slightly sweet French rolls, creating an intriguing contrast in taste and texture.' So I tried to Dutch Crunch-ify some challah. Don't place your bread into a container (even a bread box) until hours after finished.Remove the bread from the dutch oven at the end of your bake and place directly on the oven rack with the oven door open as it cools down.Take extra time to develop the crust after the initial bake.There are a few steps you can take to ensure you get a crispy crust for longer:
I typically store bread in the oven if it's currently really humid (which it typically is in Ireland). Ambient room humidity: If your kitchen is really humid this will definitely have an effect.Humidity of bread storage: never put warm bread in a container (not even a bread box) and never ever put it in the fridge (unless saving for croutons or breadcrumbs).Leave your bread to cool completely either in the cooling down oven (best) or on the side on a rack. Moisture from inside the bread transfers to the outside during cooling: This is most prevalent in breads with thinner developed crusts.After about 15 30 seconds, a gel will form. In a separate bowl, mix together the psyllium husk and 240 g (1 cup) water. Set aside for 10 15 minutes, or until the mixture starts frothing. The reason the crust is going soft is a combination of factors: In a small bowl, mix together the yeast, sugar and 150 g (1/2 cup + 2 tbsp) warm water.
