Cooking Tips

• For a lighter texture, you can replace half of the whole wheat flour with all-purpose flour.
• If you prefer a more rustic look, you can dust the dough with flour or cornmeal before baking.
• To check if the bread is done, tap the bottom of the loaf. It should sound hollow.
• Store the bread in a paper bag or bread box to maintain its crustiness.

Storage and Serving

• Once cooled, store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• To serve, slice the bread and enjoy it as is, or toast it for a crispy texture.
• This bread is perfect for sandwiches, toast, or as a side with soups and stews.
