Rosemary & Walnut Schiacciata From Living Bread by  Daniel Leader

This is the 2nd time making this bread and it was a hit both times. It has a wonderful walnut taste and combined with the rosemary and olive oil it is delicious.

Recipe and process are below.

Pane di Chiavari - from The Italian Baker, my latest from my world tour of bread. Excellent olive taste, soft crust and crumb.

World Wide Bread Journey - Italian Bread - Pane Pomodoro from The Italian Baker

I made this bread yesterday and it was quite well received. I am happy with the taste, crust, score,and the rise. The crumb seems a little damp but that might just be the amount of olive oil.

Just sharing my 3rd bake with my new Challenger bread pan. Until recently I've been struggling with steaming in my oven but as you can see I think 'problem solved'!

I'm happy with the crust and flavor but I need to work on the rise - I'll be working with the starter feeding times.
