Not perfect but I think there is value in posting failures. Might have been better with a butter wash

    I just think the spices could have been spread more evenly and there is a small burn on the bottom from the olive oil runoff. I ate that part. Kids loved the bread so maybe I am off base. They thought I was making pizza from the smell. One thing is the olive oil made it very crunchy which was nice.

    Think a thick butter glaze would have been a better way. Butter on the olive oil + spices wash.

    Honey instead of sugar will probably be my next attempt. Thinking heavy cream wash.

        I gave my standard recipe to chatgpt and recommended

        1.25 tablespoons honey instead of 1.5 of sugar.

        Reduce water for bulk fermination by about 1 tsp off my normal 3/4 cup

        Cook at 350F instead of my normal 375F but stay with 40 minutes (carmalization avoiding).

        Does this sound good? I truthfully don’t know.
