This is the BEST recipe...and I've tried many. The method you use for 'kneading' is so easy on the hands and the bread rises to well. I love the texture of the bread and I plan to make your recipe 'the one' I will always use. Thank you so much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8716434485439618533.post-9174201866406293652010-10-22T00:34:17.151+02:002010-10-22T00:34:17.151+02:00Great post and beautiful bread!

I don't drink that famous soda either and my mom made us all drink a specific French mineral water when we were growing up as it contained fluoride and was supposed to promote healthy teeth. I have no complaints about my teeth and neither has any of my brothers, so maybe she was right! I envy you your trip to Denmark which has got to be one of my very favorite countries. We traveled to Denmark quite a bit when we still lived in France as my first set of in-laws were mostly Danish and I loved them dearly. I never go to try Danish flour but the baker next to my mother-in-law's house made a rye bread such as I never had anywhere since. Did you have any good rye bread in Denmark during your trip?MChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10975662924156812375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8716434485439618533.post-90465990595686934752010-10-13T04:10:26.098+02:002010-10-13T04:10:26.098+02:00Gorgeous bread Miriam, just look at that crust.

Do you use a special boule or pan to rise the loaf in? Or does it rise in that shape just on a flat pan? I tried my hand at a round loaf but instead of rising up, it spread and made a disc. I am loving my sourdough!! Another question, is Spain taking more to the real food movement? Is there a movement going on to go back to how things were done traditionally? I would love to learn more from a community like this.<br /><br />Thanks so much Miriam, have a wonderful day!<br /><br />DianaDiana Baumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02520992408166526347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8716434485439618533.post-42532555003591911872010-10-04T17:50:14.530+02:002010-10-04T17:50:14.530+02:00The bread looks amazing, definitely a recipe to be...The bread looks amazing, definitely a recipe to be tried.

Surprising that the sparkling water led to a denser loaf - though that could well be the flour, as you say. I'm sure I'm not alone in having expected the gas to increase the rise and make for a super-light, airy bread of the kind that makes it impossible to spread with anything because it all falls through the holes. More research necessary, I think. Still, externally it looks stunning, and you shouldn't feel bad about that crust. Anyone achieving a chewy, crisp crust should be very proud of themselves!Jonnyhttp://weareneverfull.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8716434485439618533.post-51221818131318229312010-10-04T15:59:28.263+02:002010-10-04T15:59:28.263+02:00Wow, I never thought this method could be used.
