It was good. Not great, but good. It has potential.
By the time the bread was ready to bake, the oven already held two chickens. So, I had to bake the bread on the top rack, which may have affected the final result...a bit dense, maybe a bit undercooked in the middle. But the flavor was decent, and I can see the potential in adding the other grains Bittman suggests.
After aging a day, the bread seems more like a quick bread, with the consistency of banana bread. The recipe does say this version doesn't rise very high, and mine certainly didn't after 24 hours. Then again, my house is cold this time of year, even the kitchen, so that may be part of the problem.
I will try this again for sure. It was almost no work.
