Tips and ideas
Tiny notes for you
Usually with all avorful breads, the raise time is little less.
That is because of the amount of sugars present in additional ingredients.
Keep an eye for doubling of the volume after 12 hours of raise.
Did you notice the reduced amount of water we add?
That is because the rest of the water is coming from cucumber.
Remember to blend the cucumber to make puree before hand.
It is worth the eort, these breads are extraordinarily soft and delicious.
