Mejaka,

Bread lasts a little longer in my house, because it’s just me in my home. Your point about cold storing bread makes definite sense. I do notice that it does taste a little stale, but I never can get through a additive free loaf fast enough. I hope you’ll be able to share your experience with your dutch oven method.

Thank you for reading.

And I made this tonight…Excellent bread! I’m going to try it again, but instead of ice in the oven I’m going to use a kitchen Dutch oven (not the camp kind) and use the lid-on-then-off method. I think it might make an even better crust that way.

Thanks for the recipe! Not a scrap left, not even one piece for my lunch tomorrow, sigh.

In the fridge is never a good place for bread. The moderate cold of a fridge encourages a chemical conversion that will leave the bread mold-free but tasting stale. Freezing bread is okay, because the colder temperatures inhibit the conversion.

Not that it will matter at my house. Hot homemade bread lasts one meal around here–sometimes even if I make two loaves!

Your recipe sounds really easy. I’ve been looking for a good whole wheat rustic bread recipe. I love whole wheat bread and rustic is the best, crunchy on the outside chewy on the inside. YUM! I will try out the recipe this weekend.

Yum, I too am looking for a homemade way to make “healthy” bread. I was wondering though how many grams of fiber does your bread have (the number is missing), Thanks for the recipe
