well, looks like I'm a little late. I did this exactly like you said. It came out looking nice and brown, but it is heavy and dense. I tried some of the Artisan bread recipes, had the same experience. I don't understand why everyone else raves about this and I seem to get very different results. I thought about either more water or less flour, but this stuff is so sticky already, cant imagine what would happen. If anyone has any inside tips, I'd really appreciate it. this is really frustrating and a waste of good flour.
