Pain Rustique (because I <3 it) - Hamelman

Country Bread - Hamelman

It has been a while since I made this. Came out nice I think :

Beer Bread (with roasted Barley) - Hamelman

Sometimes, bread recipes have ingredients that are hard to find or take some time to prepare. I am not a big fan of those recipes because it just takes too much of my time to search them on line or check out different stores.
I did find some malted barley though and used it in this recipe. Also in this bread was some organic beer. The result was okay. I do like the light sweet taste of the bread, and because of the whole wheat it has also some bite in it.

Pain Rustique (again) - Hamelman

Slight variation on the pain rustique. Added some whole wheat flour. I did also use some olive oil and rosemary herbs on top of one of the loaves (let's say I got adventurous here.)

Pics are the unshaped (rustic) dough pieces, while baking in the oven and the final product.

Interesting is that the breads baked in the pot or glass cloche are slightly taller that the one baked on the plate. I looking forward to see if there is a difference in crumb structure.
