Another bread that i tried from Peter Reinharts' Bread Bakers Apprentice Book !. This one just looked very pretty, so i had to try it. I dint have a pie pan , so I used the boule technique, but placed it in a bread pan. The bread came out really soft with a nice mahogany crust!
I also finally bought an electric knife and got those beautiful slices!
Here's the recipe on Fresh Loaf . I was feeling a bit lazy to copy it off the book:)
This one was an instant hit with hubby. I love the texture, the taste and the beautiful colors of this one. All the effort of reading the book and following steps methodically and all that patience did help!
This one is surely headed to Susan's YeastSpotting !
I love the crust color on this loaf. And how beautiful are those slices? Alton Brown swears by an electric knife and so far I've resisted getting one but I may have to reconsider...
ReplyDeleteThe crumb and crust are so pretty. I bet this bread tasted delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks susan,
ReplyDeleteThe electric knife is definitely a good investment, esp for these soft breads. i think i finished up the bread quickly just because of those beautiful, unsquished and even slices:)
Thanks Mimi, yes indeed it did. I just made another one with butterscotch flavoring!
