Playing with bread dough can be quite satisfying. Seeing the dough changes in every stage, and to the final result are just what I truly enjoy. Making this cute little Epi / Wheat bread, has been all along in my list. They are many other ways to make this pretty little Epi......

I have wanted to try making Epi, but I am worried I am not able to get the crusty crust as I am not sure whether I can create enough steam in my small oven.
Thanks ! Think we simply enjoy the process of bread making.....
You may wanna try mixing A small ratio of low protein flour to the bread flour in the recipe to create the French bread flour for the crusty effect? I read something like this in one of the books I have. For example, 250g of bread flour convert to 200g bread flour + 50g of cake flour. Hope this work for you. ;)
Ya i know what you mean... I guess the really good ones are made with bakers who are very good and experience enough. Have you tried the one from Sun Moulin? It's the best I could find in Singapore so far.
haha.... I must say my Epi is not quite up to standard too. The taste is there, but the crust is not the ideal one too. I will try again and again!! hehe.... This I should stick to the recipe from my previous post - Bagguete.
If you happen to go to Scots Isetan, you may wanna just go down to their basement for their wonderful french bread. YOu will fall inlove too!
YOu one fantastic good baker and cook! Please don't say that!
you will be very suprised to know the big big french loaves are selling at $2.20 with that kind of high quality, and it's using natural fermentation! Sounds like you are one super busy mummy!!
