Erin, thanks, do have a look at the book! rainbowbrown, it definitely gave the pizza a unique quality! Tanna, the book has so many wonderful recipes and I'm sad to say I've only tried a few... I don't know how Dan L. would feel about me using this as pizza crust! Aparna, I'd be interested to know if barley flour is readily available in India? Jeremy, what an opportunity, to meet Dan in person. From his writing I can believe he is indeed a wonderful and generous person. kitchenmom, I think you won't be disappointed in the book. SteveB, yes. I'm going to have to look for that bread next time I'm in Della Fattoria country. Jude, yes, it's really striking how just a little mixing and a lot of resting can develop gluten so nicely. Laura, the barley does not jump out at you but lends a nice nutty quality. Jane, I can't vouch for preserved lemon in this bread but I imagine it would be great. Madam Chow, I think you'd like the book a lot.

So, a few weeks ago, I bought a container of citrons confits, an ingredient often used in North African cooking (tagines, etc). There is liquid and the soft, whole lemon. They aren't sweet, they are just lemons. I made a lemon lamb tagine last night, but I have heard of lemon bread. Your recipe could be a good one to try with them. But lemon zest is very strong while these are milder tasting. What do you think? Jane Nice looking loaf!

Just relax and let the dough develop itself. Lepard’s mixing method is pretty cool stuff. Just relax and let the dough develop itself.

In fact, if I remember correctly, one of Della Fattoria's signature breads is a Meyer Lemon Rosemary bread. Susan, as you’ve shown, lemon actually goes quite well with bread.
