Once again from Peter Reinhart's BBA, but I did change up a couple of things in this half version. I soaked 2 Tbs of dehydrated onion and 1/2 Tbs dehydrated garlic in boiling water. I reduced the amount of milk from his suggested 114g to 54g and used the onion water for the rest of the liquid.

David Snyder’s Pizza Post this week was the impetus Lucy needed to use up the last of the Panettone SD /YW levain.  The girls were begging for their favorite poolish Focaccia Romana crust but not throwing away levain came first.

The Easiest Artisan Bread Recipe Ever

Toast

Artisan bread is probably the easiest bread recipe ever. It literally takes no kneading, but it yields an airy, fragrant bread with a nice, crunchy crust and a soft, flavorful inside.
