Peasant Boule

A few months ago, Abby Dodge started a monthly baking group by the hashtag #BakeTogether where Abby picks the recipe. Everyone is allowed to make tweaks and make the recipe their own. When I saw the beautiful open crumb of the Peasant Boule on Abby Dodge's website, I knew I had to make it. After I read through the recipe and learned that this bread contains yeast as well as baking powder, I was very intrigued. Abby stated that the baking powder addition makes for a very soft bread. That's what sealed the deal :o)

If you're a big Abby Dodge fan, like I am, you might be interested in joining the Avid Baker's Challenge (ABC) baking group. We bake once a month and for the year 2012, we're baking from The Weekend Baker. You can find more information about ABC here.
