  8. Cool on metal rack for at least 30 minutes to an hour before cutting

Enjoy!! Here is a video--and here is another where everyone is oohing and ahhing this bread with EVGE!!

This bread stays fresh 4 or 5 days covered OR you can freeze it and it will be as fresh as the when it came out of the oven when you take it out. I cut it into four and freeze.

TIP: Instead of plain water, you can infuse any herb you like --I like sage, rosemary, and thyme--and infuse all three together with 2 cups of boiling water--and add after it cools.

You can use white or whole wheat bread flour--I like using 3 cups white with 1 cup of whole wheat.
