I love making my own bread.

But it’s often too time-consuming. Even with my bread making machine.

I remembered reading about working with a starter dough. The result: bread that’s ready quickly AND tastes great.

I did a quick google search and found this awesome resource

Now with bread, I know you have to follow the recipe carefully, when it comes to the ingredients. So I did that.

I didn’t follow the preparation instructions carefully though: I used my bread making machine to mix the dough for me.
And…I put it in the oven without leaving the dough some time to get to room temperature first.

Yes – I am impatient.

The result: awesome pizza bases, and great crunchy crusts on any bread I made.

The bread didn’t really rise. So when baking a loaf, it became more ciabatta-like.

But that’s just how I like my bread.

Try it out – you’ll love it.

Enjoy,

Otto
