After some tests and tips of Gregory Grippo Chef at La Buca restaurant  in Cesenatico, here is the result of the bread baked in the clay pot Bionatural. I used this beautiful pot!
pane in pentola pane pentola

I have tried to simplify as much as possible in order to realize this type of bread in all ovens, even those that are not professional.

Ingredients:

500 g flour 260 w (I used Garofalo 260 w)

310 ml water (the amount may be different with other types of flours)

4 g brewers yeast

8 g salt

flax seeds (optional)

Put the flour in the planetary. Dissolve the yeast in the water and slowly pour in the flour. Allow to run 7 minutes on speed 2. Add the salt _and the flax seeds pounded in a mortar_ _ . Let the dough rise for 12 hours by covering it with a cloth. Give the shape of the loaf and let rise another 2 hours. Turn the oven temperature to 230 ° C with the pot empty inside. Put the dough into the pan, cover and cook for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and cook for another 20-25 minutes, lowering the temperature to 200 ° C. Remove from oven and cool the bread on a rack in a cool, dry place.

Continuerò a sperimentare le cotture in questa pentola di creta, sia per il pane che per altre ricette, quindi: Continuate a seguire pescenudo.it!

Dry the fruit

Dry the fruit is an interesting technique to preserve it for longer.

pera essiccata

Ingredients:
4 pears big and hard
50g powdered sugar
Preparation.
Peel the pears and cut into regular slices thickness of about 4 mm.
Lay them in trays dryer. Using a fine sieve cover the pears with a thin layer of powdered sugar.
Put to dry at 40° C for 12-24 hours, the time depends on the thickness and initial consistency of the pear.
With higher temperatures speed up the drying process, but you lose the nutritional properties of the fruit.
This procedure is also valid for other types of fruit such as apples, citrus fruits, …. important that they are not a variety too rich in water .
Another way, also used for the industrial production is to put the fruit, after having cut it, in a solution of water and ascorbic acid (15/20 g per liter of water) for 5 minutes, then drain, dry and place to dry.
