Mini loaf
Made a little loaf in a disposable foil mini loaf pan (which I reuse over and over). Because pork belly is so rich, I decided that they needed to be small sandwiches. With gorgonzola and mayo, and the sandwiches warmed through on Steam Bake for a few minutes, they were so good that I had three.

And so much for making "mini" loaves!
Yeah, it was impossible to stop at one! Well, I tell myself, at least I'm reducing carbs with a 1/2 of a thinly sliced mini loaf vs an entire ciabatta roll. Trying to reduce carbs per doctor's orders by making small to moderate changes to meals while not sacrificing pleasures to the palate.
Sounds delicious, and a nice blistered crust. Must have been a long cool ferment for those to form?
Thank you. This dough had been portioned and frozen for small pizzas or rolls. Typically let to sit in fridge for a day or two, and then on counter for several hours then baked or back into fridge. Love them blisters and thin crispy crust.
Recently I discovered that these small loaves were so handy and they give unusually nice slices when the dough bursts over the top in an irregular way. So slightly overloading the pan is ok.
Your bread and is so rich and (eggy too?) and the color is beautiful. I dare not get into pork belly!! Very tempting.
It is really neat that you can freeze your dough and pull it out and get such great results too.
No egg, but a bit of olive oil.
Pork belly is lusciously decadent. Thank goodness I'm on a statin.
Thanks for the tip of overloading the pan - sounds interesting - I will give it a try!
