This bread is incredible! I started the French and Italian breads section today and I am so pumped. I expect all of these breads to be incredible, especially if I just base it off this first one. When I think of delicious breads, these are the ones that come to mind. A lot of these breads don't have many ingredients, but use starters and sours to add a lot of flavor to them. This bread used a starter made from honey, water, yeast, whole-wheat flour, and bread flour. After letting that sit overnight you simply add more water, some salt, and some more of each flour. That was it. You then knead it and let it rise for a whopping three hours, and then another two before popping it into the oven for about 45 minutes. While its baking you need to have a broiler pan in there full of water to create all the steam that gives French bread such a nice crispy crust. I have to resist eating more of this bread because it is just that good. I'm looking forward to all of the delicious breads coming up!
