OK, so it wasn’t my final word after all, surprise surprise.
Not mentioning any names (Stephanie Kate, Miss Crunchy since childhood) – for those who think they only like bread with a crisp crust, all that needs to be done to make it so is to pop the loaf, once it’s out the jar of course, into a hot oven for a few minutes and presto – crisp and golden brown crust.
This is particularly good for those who have an oven on most of the time, or best of all a wood fired oven going at this time of year.
I’ve just done this with one of the wholemeal loaves cooked today.
