This is great bread and looks so impressive! For such a quick recipe, the result is fantastic. Oh the crunch of the crust is so gratifying! We’ll definitely have the whole load polished off by bedtime and I will be making it regularly from now on (and, like you, I plan to make most of our family’s bread at home this year, or as much of it as I possibly can).
Thank you so much for the recipe and video demo. Love from Bulgaria!
