Cottage loaves have a fun shape and are crusty on the outside and soft inside. Inspired by Paul Hollywood’s recipe on the “Great British Baking Show,” this sourdough version has a slow fermentation and a lot of flavor. It also likely harkens back to how the bread would have been made before the advent of commercial yeast.

Breadtopia Spawns Breadmania Thanks Kris for sending this… My husband says that I have an obsession with the bread-baking thing and have become a bread baking “MANIAC”.

My fascination with Poilâne bread began over 10 years ago with a publication in Smithsonian magazine on the venerable bakery. …Denyce and I visited their Elizabeth Street London location on our recent travels around the UK.
