This is probably one of the easiest and most delicious breads I have ever made. It takes a while to make because of the long rising time, but apart from that it is very easy. This bread is good on its own with some butter on, but it is also great to serve with soups and salads. The bread is really almost like a baguette which also makes it perfect to serve with all sorts of pasta dishes.
I added a spice mix meant for bread to this dough and that really gave the bread an amazing flavor. The spice is a mix of coriander, anise, fennel and caraway.
