This was my 6th attempt at making this loaf. Tasted great every time but never looked this good. Thought i’d post it here (also my first post here i think). For my initial attempts i used pastry flour (type 405) just because it was easily available but this time i used bread flour (type 812) instead. Maybe that’s why the loaf turned out better.
