Hamelman's Pain Rustique
Not sure this is the right place to post about a recipe tried, but if it's not I will delete it and post it somewhere else.
Today I made Hamelman's Pain Rustique (page 111 of "Bread" ) - I made half the recipe, ending with two small loaves, will be perfect for lunch/dinner today.
The recipe is extremely easy - dough is a pleasure to work with. An overnight poolish goes in the final dough, that rises for only 70 minutes with two folds at 25 and 50 min. Final rise is less than half an hour - bread is not shaped, just separated in rectangles of the right size, and slashed.
I will post two photos. We loved the flavor and crumb texture, by the way
