"Not sure what went wrong but I ended up with a very odd shaped brick - nice flavour but definitely lumpy and hard! Wouldn't make this again. "

"Brilliant bread! I made 2 baguettes, they had a deep hard crust as a rustic bread should - but I wouldn't make this as a loaf! I may cut down on the sugar next time to make it slightly softer. "
