Looking for a recipe for my first brotform boule!
I just got a brotform as a gift. I haven't baked in awhile. (Peter Reinhart's Book "Bread Baker's Apprentice" kind of scared me away from baking because my bread turned out horrible when I used that book...my fault, I'm sure.)
So, being afraid of that book, I need some new bread recipes. Like most bread lovers, me likey big holes in my bread :) Got any bread recipes (french, foccacia, etc) that I won't mess up?

Hi Jamie,
You could start off with one of the breads in our lessons, found at the top of the page. Lesson one is a simple bread than can be shaped appropriately for your brotform and proofed in it. Just dust or sprinkle some flour on the brotform first to help prevent sticking. I sometimes also dust the top of the loaf before dropping it in the basket. You can always brush it off later.
Let us know how it goes.

Hi Jamie,
I've become a fan of the Rustic Bread Recipe on this site. I've made it a couple of times in my brotform and liked the results. Enjoy your new toy!
