FOLO: Artisan Bread

#1 (**permalink**) 11-09-2009, 11:15 PM

Earlier I posted on my progress/problems with Hertzberg's "Artisan
Bread in 5 Minutes/day"
I'm satisfied with the product, but I wish it was a bit lighter and
the crumb white instead of grey.

Are artisan breads heavy? Would using bread flour have made the crumb
white? - Mike

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Artisan breads are sturdier than store-bought sandwich bread. Heavier is
hard to understand what you mean exactly. It would help if you could post a
photo to a photo site. Your crumb should not be grey. Creamy yellow or tan
is nice. Have you posted to alt.bread.recipes for help?
