This is the bread I made tonight. It makes me very happy, because, as much of a stellar baker as I am, I’ve never yet been able to master a decent bread. Then my cousin’s husband, Haoran, linked to this article and accompanying recipe, ad it worked an absolute treat.
The crust is crispy without being tough. The bread doesn’t have quite a strong enough flavour, but I should have used bread flour, and maybe half spelt, rather than plain flour (which is all I had).
Overall, I highly, highly recommend givig this recipe a try. It’s easy and delicious. I’m looking forward to experimenting with some grains and flavours.
