Well done Przytulanka. That is a very complicated recipe and it appears you did it well. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

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!
Thank you so very much for answering so quickly! I think I will try doing just one, like you did.
Thanks again.
