Épis de Blé

Today's bake: Épis de Blé

Source: King Arthur Test Kitchen - Martin Philip

Note(s):Doubled recipe.

This bread is made from King Arthur All-Purpose Flour .

All baked on a baking steel with a steam pan and 500ml boiling water.

This is my 1st attempt making this bread and will definitely will be baking it again.

Changes/Recommendations - When I make this bread again - work on improving the scoring by angling the cuts a little more. The poolish was not as active I'd expected so I need to test the yeast.

Tasting Notes

Crumb: Sweet/Dairy - Milk

Crust: Toasty - Malty

Grain Character: Simple - Dry Yeast

This is a really nice bread which I will be making again hopefully developing the airy crumb I'd expect from this type of bread.

Recipe and Process are below for those that are interested.

Thanks Benny. Crunchy and crusty was the special request.
