Excellent. If you were thinking of halving the recipe, don’t. First loaf was gone in 24 hrs. The walnuts sink while proofing. If possible, fold them in at the end and towards the top, vice distributing evenly. I tried the Thomas Keller super-soaker on rocks technique, water on the base of the oven, and ice – ice works best… I definitely wouldn’t use a spray bottle every minute for 5 minutes… that’s a lot of precious hot air escaping while your crust is developing.
