Hi, me again. So… I have to admit to a mistake I made. I said earlier that I used both bread flour and whole wheat flour to make this bread and I didn't. I looked again and I used unbleached flour instead of the whole wheat… My bad. I remade this with the whole wheat and Wow! What a difference that makes! This bread is amazing!!!

So, sorry about what I said earlier. Who am I to doubt you?!?

I've been wanting to make this bread for quite some time now and thanks to my Mother-in-law giving me a dutch oven for Christmas, I finally made it!

Love the crust and love the texture of the bread. Only disappointment was it was a tad bland. Is there a way to add a bit more flavor? I used both the bread flour and the whole wheat flour. Should I add a little sugar? Anny help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I make this using a cast iron 10 inch frying pan, and it turns out great ! Cover it with aluminum foil ,and there's no problem. Never made it with roasted garlic, but am in the process of making it right now !. I've bought stuff w/garlic and like it very much, so I'm sure this will be fantastic !
Great site. Joe

Hi Whollyfool,

How to cover the preheated bowl with aluminium foil after putting in the dough?

If the recipe calls for two hours only then you must be using normal amount of yeast i.e about 2 1/4 tsp for about 3 cup flour. In NKB only 1/4 tsp is required to assure retarded fermentation. Also you must be fermenting it around 85F. In NKB for retarded fermentation a recommended temperature is about 70F.
