How would you serve this? I’ve already quartered it and froze 3/4, and ate two slices myself. Its delicious! The baker used some hearty flour. Could definitely make sandwiches with this, or serving it with soup, but I’m curious how others would use this absolutely massive bread!
If it was still whole I’d be tempted to make a giant mufaletta out of the whole thing, but you’ve already cut into it (I guess you could still make one, individual ones using slices or wedges).
If slicing, sandwiches for sure. A grilled cheese with that bread would be fantastic I think, as long as the crumb isn’t too open.
Oh, and croutons.
Not long after I cut and froze it in portions I had the thought, how amazing would it be to make a giant sandwich out of this and bring it to a party?
Thick slices. Toasted hard. Butter. Honey.
A good mature cheese like Gouda or Cathedral City cheddar.
I’ve never been more stoked for breakfast
