Black Bread

A wonderful spongy texture!

Out of the oven, the aroma is amazing.

An overnight rise in the refrigerate, gives it time to expand.

This bread is a powerhouse of flavor.  Due to the strong taste, you need 
to pair it with other strong flavors.
Or pure simplicity.... soft butter!!

As Always,
ENJOY!
