I do, usually the lazy way using a bread making machine. I usually make a loaf a week using spelt flour. It's delicious but it never has a crusty top so today I tried something different.
This time, just using ordinary wholemeal flour purchased from the local supermarket, I made the loaf in the usual way but one hour before it finished, I took the dough out of the machine, placed it in a baking pan and baked it in the oven. I had read that putting a recipient with some water in it, in the oven at the same time, it helps to produced a crusty loaf.
The attached photos are the result. What do you think? It doesn't taste a good as spelt flour but it was an interesting experiment.
