This one looks great, looks like that foccacia I used to buy a lot at the store that had lots of grated Asiago cheese scattered on the top. Called them and talked to a baker. Said they just put the cheese on B4 baking, no special treatment to get it kind of bubbly looking. It's shaped long, wider and flatter.

For the ones that look the best go to google images and put in no-knead crusty artisan bread
I don't know if I would like all whole wheat bread but it's like you said, the berries keep and easier to store than white flour. Think I'd like at least 2/3 whole wheat and 1/3 white at the least though. The white look more appetizing to me but whole wheat is a lot better nutritionally.
If I ever remember to get some fresh, quick rise yeast, I would love to try it.
You sound busy! Tnx for the ping.
Those look good, nice and Holly!
I love the idea of putting the asiago on top. I’m sure that makes it a lot more appealing, and fancy looking. And tasty of course. I’ll have to remember that trick.
Looks like the second loaf has the cheese mixed in it. I would like to try that, along with some jalapeño slices. When we were in California we went to Schat’s bakery, and they had the best jalapeño cheese bread! I’m probably spelling the name of the bakery wrong. Anyway people came from miles around to buy their bread. I tried to replicate it but never got it right. It’s been so long ago I don’t remember what it was like, so anything I make will be good enough, right?
ps. I agree about the whole wheat versus white bread. I do gravitate towards the white . No wonder in the old days the elite got the white bread while the peasants got the whole grain bread. Who knew the peasants were actually better off!
I have found one 100% whole wheat recipe that I really like. You let it rise for three days in the frig and that really mellows the whole wheat flavor. And then somehow It is fairly light when you bake it. And it helps a lot that it has molasses and honey in it and brown sugar :-) it probably ends up not being that healthy after all those additions, but it is tasty!
