first time doing the mixing/rising in the bread machine before rolling and baking the bread in the oven. When i read the instructions, it just seemed like extra work, but the finished quality is nice – lighter than some of the loaves i’ve done entirely in the bread machine. Used sea salt with ground herbs and it adds a lovely flavour to the finished product. Next time – spritz the inside of the oven with water to crisp up the crust.
Looks yummy! I’m sure it smelled great.
