A wonderful recipe to teach the basics of artisan bread. The crumb has medium holes (larger than a sandwich bread but smaller than a ciabatta-style bread), and the addition of a small amount of whole wheat flour boosts flavor. Like the previous reviewer, I also divide this recipe into two smaller, thin-ish torpedos, one to eat and one to freeze.

I purchased this book a few months ago and have made the Basic Hearth Bread several times now. It is described as a "launching pad" to experimenting with bread recipes and I agree with this opinion. Every time I've made this it has turned out perfect! It is very straight forward and has given me consistent results. The recipe is very well notated so although it's spread out over five pages, it's just a lot of background detail to make your bread making experience better.
