Thank you Debi!
This is great.
My first try (almost following the recipe) already resulted in the best bread I have ever baked.
A few notes though:
- After mixing the ingredients, I found the mixture too dense, so added some water. This might have been a minor mistake. The mixture became less dense while sitting.
- I was afraid the bread would dry overnight (baked in the evening, ate at breakfast) so I covered it with a double-layer of paper towel. Definately a mistake.
The crust turned out a bit gummy, undoubtedly because I didn't let it dry uncovered.
The interior turned out too moist, either because of too moist dough or because of the covering. I'm guessing on covering. Not doing that again.
Still, fantastic. Wow. The texture was just as light and airy as described, really wonderful.
I ate self-made cheese on self-made bread for the first time in my life today. This was somehow a huge experience for me. Wonderful!
