Dutch Oven Corn Bread

My sister in California shared her dutch oven corn bread recipe with me and I decided to try it. It did not disappoint. Here is the recipe in case you are interested, it is quite easy.

Dry Bowl: whisk 2c cornmeal, 3c flour, 4 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt
Wet Bowl: beat 4 eggs, add 1c melted butter, 3c milk, 2c sugar
Slowly add 1 c of dry mixture to wet bowl, whisk until completely mixed. Add another cup, etc.
pre heat the oven and put the covered dutch oven inside for 30 minutes

pour batter into buttered 10-12" dutch oven
bake with the cover on for one hour 17 minutes at 350F
(you may need to adjust times based on your own oven and preferences, for example I do 300F for an hour)

No Knead Artisan Bread with Dutch Oven

Sharing some Artisan bread here with you today, my first boule (round loaf) baked in a dutch oven. It was chewy in the middle and very crisp on the outside. We were very happy with the outcome!

Oh and it's my birthday today, the first day of summer and the longest day of the year!
