I can make bread. I'm even quite *good" at making bread. But it appears that making bread pretty is not in my skillset. I have instead created a monstrosity that will likely come alive tonight and eat next door's dog. Or a coral reef, like the crown of thorns starfish I was apparently channelling.

It did taste really good, though. Tapenade and pesto and ALL the cheese.

@kimmwatt This is the real reason I stick to "rustic loaf" recipes. "Yeah, it's supposed to look like that."
@theotherbrook I would like to say I've now learned my lesson (I, too, usually favour rustic style), but the odds are against it. I'm sure I'll try again, but I might leave this particular one till next Halloween for a repeat ...
