It took a total 4.5 hours (1st -2 hrs , follow by 1 hr,then 30 mins & another 60 mins before send in to oven)proofing time for this crusty bread , the thin crust on top is its characteristic. You could still hear the "cracking" sound after taken out from the oven, what a nice " bread melody" at 1 am pass midnight.
With the long hours fermentation/proofing, the texture is chewy,moist,all you could taste is the aroma of the wheat,have it plain or go with its best companion -Marmalade.
