I have started your recipe this morning. Looks like an exceptional bread to try. But did you make one large loaf of about 2 kg or make two loaves?

Thank you very much, your recipes are inspirational.

Hi Virtus

I made the one large loaf. But you  can always divide the dough into 2 pieces and adjust the time of baking.

Have a dood baking!
