I just think the spices could have been spread more evenly and there is a small burn on the bottom from the olive oil runoff. I ate that part. Kids loved the bread so maybe I am off base. They thought I was making pizza from the smell. One thing is the olive oil made it very crunchy which was nice.
Think a thick butter glaze would have been a better way. Butter on the olive oil + spices wash.
Honey instead of sugar will probably be my next attempt. Thinking heavy cream wash.
Thanks and we did. I like your idea for flake salt. What do you think maybe use butter as the fat, no salt added in the dough, then water wash with the salt?
I would keep the recipe the same, but then maybe crank up the heat in the oven with a small pan in the bottom- place the dough inside and then a small amount of eater in the bottom to create a burst of steam (like baguettes is what I'm thinking of)
