2/27/10 - Pane Casereccio di Genzano & Muesli Bread

Hey All,

Just wanted to share with you my attempts at Dan Leader's Pane Casereccio di Genzano from Local Breads, and my version of Muesli Bread.  Enjoy!

I especially like the first one.  The second one could have used some docking with a wet toothpick before baking but looks pretty good!  What do you think of the bubbles?  How did it taste?

Thanks.  They both tasted very good... 

I may try upping the amount of muesli, and adding more raisins, and more water for the muesli bread to get a little more sweetness, and more open crumb.  I used 20% muesli, and 85% total hydration.  Next time I'll do 25% muesli, and 90-95% hydration...

As for the Genzano bread, I was really good, but it was a little too sour because I made the biga naturale with 50% of the total flour.  Also, I could have let the loaves proof for a little longer to get an even more open crumb, but they were almost overflowing the bannetons...  Next time I'll preferment less of the flour, and add some yeast.
