The Model Bakery Cookbook: 75 Favorite Recipes from the Beloved Napa Valley Bakery

This is wonderful! Tender crumb, excellent flavor and very versatile loaf. Not sure how it compares to Reinhardt's recipe but will certainly make it soon to compare. I used malted wheat flakes, coarse grits/polenta and wheat bran for the soaker. I did not have brown rice so I used a red rice from Lotus Foods. The dough was slightly tacky but easy to work with, and only needed a little over an hour for the initial proof (on not a particularly warm day). I also had to sub black and tan sesame seeds for the poppy. This is great toasted with butter or for sandwiches.

This was delicious, but a tiny bit denser than some sandwich loaves. The dough is made with a poolish and is easy to work with (a bit stiff and only slightly sticky). The flavor is rich and buttery and the crumb is cake-like.
