Soft French Sourdough
That's what the site where I got the recipe calls it. and, it's what I want in a loaf of sourdough bread.
I love the small to medium sized holes instead of the huge open airy ones... not sure how I lucked out with those when it is fairly high hydration dough. But, I did handle it as firmly as I could on purpose so it didn't stay all pouffy ...and, even popped a few big ones... although, it was impossible to roll so it became the 'Caddy Clasp' and some pinch and tuck at the end. Then, plopped unceremoniously into the banneton for an overnight in the fridge.
It has a soft crust ... due to the addition of butter ... sourdough aficionados would be horrified I'm sure, but I don't care. It's my go- to recipe now.... and, just a lovely light sour tang... perfect for me....
A big 'ten' for this one...
