People will travel miles for a good loaf, and many will eat this bread every week, for their whole lives.Īnd indeed, it was delicious! I followed this recipe to the letter and the bread came out beautiful and with no snafus. Just the name made me curious, and the more I hunted down recipes the more I realized what a really large fan base there is of this Dutch Crunch. On the other hand, I had quite a good time making a Dutch favorite: tiger bread. I was not in the mood to bake little Moorish turbans. In one bread book it says that the pan cateto looks like a “squashy cottage loaf,” that the pan gallego is a “rather misshapen round,” and that the ensaimadas look like “little Moorish turbans.” I was not inspired. But the more I looked, the more I realized that the Spanish really are much better when it comes to rice (paella!), and red wine, and Valencia oranges. We raced home from church to catch most of the final today, and in the past days I dedicated quite a bit of time trying to find a Spanish bread to fiddle with. Uruguay, and I posted about that country’s bread choices just yesterday Germany, and I really did make a German sourdough rye, but it was so awful to look at that I kept my camera hidden until it was eaten the Netherlands, and you’ll hear more about their bread in a moment and Spain. Okay, there were four teams in the semi-finals of the World Cup.
I was definitely a good sharer this day–and if I’d known how good this Dutch bread would be, hmmmm, I might have sided with the stingier me. Gave to Mark, Michele and family, two Bodnars and two Shannons
