I really enjoy this bread and have made it a couple times now. I pretty much follow the recipe, except I use coarse cornmeal in place of the polenta because it’s what I usually have on hand. I also start the bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes and then go down to 350 until it’s done. I bake it on parchment paper inside of a cast iron skillet. The bread is a bit on the crumbly side, but I like the texture. The flavor is really nice too.
Thank you for sharing! I really appreciate the feedback and I’m so happy you enjoy the recipe. 🙂
