I spent the weekend bread baking which was highly satisfying. Today I made a double recipe of flax bread as well as a pugliese, both from the Bread Bible. In fact the pugliese is the bread on the cover of the book. I still have had had success with every recipe I have tried from the book. Yesterday I made the potato buttermilk bread and really liked it too.
Here are all of them:
And here is the pugliese, it really does look like the picture in the book! I even cheated and substituted semolina for durum because I couldn’t find durum so I whirred the semolina in the food processor first.

TOLD you, you’ll love that book! I’m so pleased for you, and yes, I recognize that picture! The flax seed loaf is one of my favorites too. It makes the BEST grilled cheese. In fact, that’s what I made yesterday too!

Yes, indeed you were SO right. I give all the credit to you on this one. I have made grilled cheese with the flax bread, I am a huge sucker for it in fact thats what I used to cure my new years day hangover. I also made the beer bread on your suggestion and really liked it.
