Combine the dry ingredients. Add the water using the handle of a wooden spoon. The dough should be too loose to knead (not that we will), so add more water if necessary. The dough should be shaggy. Cover with plastic wrap and let proof for 2 hours. You can refrigerate after this overnight or prepare to bake immediately.
Place dutch oven (with the lid on) in an oven set to 450 for 30 minutes to Preheat. Sprinkle the work surface lightly with flour, dump the dough onto the surface and lightly sprinkle the dough with more flour. Using a bench scraper fold one edge of the dough into the middle. Do this 5 more times. Place 1/2 sheet of parchment next to the dough and gently roll the dough onto the parchment paper. Sprinkle lightly with flour and cover with the plastic wrap while the duth oven is preheating.
When ready, carefully lift the parchment and dough into the Dutch oven. Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes.
This a great recipe for bread to be used for stuffing. For white bread, use 450 grams of all purpose flour and omit the Italian seasoning and garlic powder.

Makes about 1 dozen muffins
Ingredients:
Muffins:
200 g all purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
300 g - 1 ½ cups mashed or pureed sweet potato, cooled (about 1 large sweet potato)
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
73 g brown sugar
66 g granulated sugar

1 t vanilla
2 tablespoons milk (whole or 2%)
Crumble:
60 g all purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
3 tablespoons cubed unsalted butter, cold
2 ½ tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400F and line a muffin tin with liners. Lightly grease the liners with nonstick spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together until combined and no clumps of flour or baking powder remain.
In a large mixing bowl, mix sweet potato and melted butter together until combined. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar and mix until combined. Add egg and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Add half of the flour mixture to the batter and mix until almost combined, about 10 seconds at a medium speed. Add in milk and mix until almost combined. Add in final half of the flour mixture and mix until combined, be careful to not overmix. Cover batter and set aside
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk all purpose flour, granulated sugar and cinnamon together. Add in cubed butter and work into the flour mixture with your hands until the butter is broken down to pea-sized pieces. Add maple syrup and mix in with a fork until combined and the mixture is crumbly but sticks together when squeezed.
Scoop batter into the prepared muffin tin until each cup is about ⅘ths full. Add 2 teaspoons of crumble on top of each muffins and press gently into the batter.
Bake muffins for 18 to 20 minutes, or until muffins are set and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted. Allow muffins to cool partially in their muffin tin before transferring to a cooling rack to finish cooling completely.
