Not perfect but I think there is value in posting failures. Might have been better with a butter wash
This is a failure? It might not be instagram ready, but it looks totally delish.
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.
maybe with also flake salt? Still looks good and hope you enjoyed it!
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)
Egg wash will get you a deeper browning on top than butter
