Note

Jun 26/2015

At 475/550 hydration levels, the dough is too strong to embed the toppings and protect them in order to do so we would need to go to higher hydration levels.

this causes the items to fall off or burn as the bread rises.

if you want toppings, add near the end 5-10 minutes or use higher hydration.
