Since 2020
Access to amazing bread at home for myself and the family. Plus I love fermenting and baking in general.
Characteristics
It has a sweet aroma and not too heavy with flavour. open crumb, sometimes with larger air pockets, depending on how rushed I was with shaping. I ame two loaves, the first always has lots of oven spring, the second to bake has a little less. Crust is thicker slightly at the base, not super crunchy but still having a good bite.
