Peter Reinhart's Artisan Breads Every Day

By Peter Reinhart
Ten Speed Press - 2009

This is a crisp, nutritious, easy to make little cracker. The possibilities for topping are endless - I made some sweet (honey, nuts) ,some savory (za'atar, sea salt) and some sweet/savory (honey and the slightest dash of cayenne). I found that the flavor of the dough got better after a night in the fridge, but the real trick to this cracker is getting them rolled thin.

Great basic sandwich bread. I replaced some of the whole wheat (used white whole wheat flour) with rye, and used buttermilk. Bread came out golden brown with a delicate crumb.

To be fair I have to give this 4 stars - I did not have all the proper ingredients and though they did come out good they were not as tasty as some other crackers I have made. I am sure they will live up to (at least) the four stars when I try these again without the substitutions.

This was terrific, and had I never made the Struan recipe in the Model Bakery Cookbook I would say this is my favorite grainy bread. My dough was never too tacky to handle and I did not have to add any extra flour. Once baked it is soft (even my crust was soft) and flavorful with great crumb and a little crunch from the cornmeal.
