Discussion: Although I do enjoy traditional breads I'm always on the lookout for breads with non-traditional ingredients which we find here in Richard Hart's Sand Dollar recipe. He incorporates bread flour, all purpose flour , whole wheat flour, masa harina, and ground corn into a flat bread like loaf that is a take on a fougasse.
This is an easy bread to make with a leaven and the masa harina mix. I deviated from the book on his timings and used my standard process for a 50/50 BF/AP loaf that is my standard.
This bread has a nice crunchy bite and a mild and pleasant corn flavor undertone. I sampled it with a little EVOO which was really tasty.
Make again? - Yes, definitely.
Changes/Recommendations: No

Lovely breads Tony and the topping has me salivating. It seems like the perfect way to use corn in breads.

Thanks Jon, I might sprinkle some chili flakes in with the corn meal coating next time.
