This marks my first challenge as a Daring Baker at The Daring Kitchen. Sara and Erica of Baking JDs were our March 2012 Daring Baker hostesses! Sara & Erica challenged us to make Dutch Crunch bread, a delicious sandwich bread with a unique, crunchy topping. Sara and Erica also challenged us to create a one of a kind sandwich with our bread!
I should have ideally posted about the challenge on the 27th of March, but, hey, you cant blame a girl who's birthday is just round the corner right!! I celebrated two decades on this yummy world on the 2nd of April!! Yes, I'm finally 20!! So much to look forward to now! I had an absolutely fabulous birthday. Received 6 cookbooks! Six! All at one go. For a person who has not owned a single cookbook almost all her life, six of them, all at once, is a lot.
Coming back to the challenge, the recipe for the Dutch Crunch topping came from Rose Levy Beranbaum’s The Bread Bible. The recipes for the bread came from The Bread Bible and an adaptation of a recipe found on bakingbites.com (http://bakingbites.com/2006/09/cooking-school-dutch-crunch-bread/).
