We're sorry to hear that this bread wasn't quite what you were hoping for, Paul! Most often when a bread has a very thick crust it's because there wasn't enough steam at the beginning of the baking process, steam is what makes for a nice thin crust. As Maurizio noted, this bread really likes a lot of steam! If you're looking for an enriched sourdough sandwich bread, we'd recommend checking out our Clay's Multigrain Sourdough Sandwich Bread, Baker's Grain Sourdough Bread, and Seeded Multigrain Sourdough Bread recipes. We hope this can help and happy baking!
