Hello Everyone!
I know I'm late to join the party, but I stumbled across this recipe and just had to make it. I actually ended up with an interesting variation- because I unexpectedly ran out of flour, I had to substitute bisquick light baking mix. It did not end up having a airy texture, but instead a denser, moist one, which went AWESOME with the sourdough flavor. Now, I know that this little trick doesn't work for every flour substitute, but I thought I would share.
Also, when I was preheating, I put an extra pan at the bottom of the oven, and just after I put in my loaves, I pour water in the pan , which released steam to brown my loaves beautifully. This is a nice trick to know as well!
Thanks for sharing the great recipe!
