It was delicious. I've baked the second half today. A satisfying success all round. I didn't have cardamom or anise, so I added 2 tsps. cinnamon--so good! I saw that you liked the original recipe better and will add this: no knead bread is so easy--I like it because my hands hurt and I don't want to knead. I've made the brioche from Artisan in Five and it's amazingly easy and comes out perfectly--an amazing statement given the effort many chefs give to making it. I've made it six-seven times now and it never fails me. Throw it all together and let it sit two hours on the counter, then in the fridge for a while or even overnight or a week. I make it for my grandchildren and they enjoy having it for breakfast. Shape is up to you too!

I am without a bread machine for years now, and wanted to make my father (who's parents came from Sweden) a loaf of limpa for this Christmas. I tried 3 unsuccessful loaves from 2 different recipes that were in my mother's recipe collection. After becoming frustrated, I started looking online for some recipes, and I came across your blog. I thought I'd try the Limpa recipe you posted from the Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day book. I am happy to say that I my father received 2 large loaves of yummy Limpa for Christmas this year. Thank you for your post, and thank you to the authors for having such a simple recipe that even a newbie can make! I will be picking up their book too, in the future. Thanks again!

One other thing I should have said... if you do decide to knead prior to rising the batch, don't add flour the usual way or the dough will get too dry. Knead with wet hands and sort of pull and push it around. A dough scraper can be helpful here, again using water rather than flour as you knead.

My highest compliment is an 'atta girl'; I guess I need to come up with something less gender specific. Thanks for stopping by.

I'm so glad our limpa compared favorably with the old reliable. If you really want to knead, you can do it, but do it before you rest the dough for it's initial rise-- it adds a little structure that some of our testers found desirable (but isn't neccesary). <BR/><BR/>Come visit us anytime at http://www.artisanbreadinfive.com, where you can post questions into any "Comments" field, or click on "Bread Questions" on the left side of the homepage and choose among the options. <BR/><BR/>Jeff Hertzberg<BR/>www.artisanbreadinfive.com<BR/><BR/>Chicago tribune video: http://us.macmillan.com/BookCustomPage.aspx?isbn=9780312362911&m_type=2&m_contentid=119255#videoJeff Hertzberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447191221678916246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-69467924225354232062008-10-02T11:01:00.000-04:002008-10-02T11:01:00.000-04:00Both recipes look fantastic!
