White rustic bread
- Used a “hearth bread” approach with a preferment (1 cup water, 1 cup bread flour, 1 tsp yeast).
- Added flaxseed meal for texture and flavor.
- Sesame seed topping: wet the dough then roll in seeds - they toast nicely and add a lot of flavor.
- Make smaller loaves - two loaves that touch during the second rise messes up the bake.
