I first logged in to this site yesterday and I made my first loaf of rustic bread tonight.  I used the Lesson One recipe, but swapped out some of the AP for more whole wheat flour, and added some soaked steel-cut oats and wheat berries.

It is sooooo good!!

I'm not the biggest bread eater (unless it's fresh) and I love breads that have more texture.  I've been considering a no-knead but found this site and decided to start with a (rushed) poolish.  I started everything at 4:30 and took a loaf out of the oven at 8:45.

The best home-cooked loaf I've ever made.

Thanks so much!!!
