Hi Eddy! I love your website and recipes! I grew up in the Fall River, MA, area and grew up on Portuguese food.
I'd like to make my own loaf of artisan bread for this recipe. What do you recommend for that? Thank you... I don't know a lot about baking breads.

Hi Robin, I would recommend using this recipe and making a round bread instead, this recipe is a winner.
