Made this last weekend and my family loved it! The bread came out perfectly golden with a beautiful crust. Will definitely be making this again.
This recipe is a keeper. The Baker's Notes really helped me understand the technique. My new favourite bread to bake on weekends.
So glad I found this recipe. The instructions are clear and the result is consistently great. I've made it four times already and it's perfect every time.
Bakery-quality bread at home. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out amazing. The proofing tips really helped.
