Well, the finished product was just barely bread. It was the sort of ultra-dense loaf my grandma used to make (though she usually put nuts and raisins in hers). But, it still tasted pretty good hot from the oven with some butter.

I'm going to make another batch this weekend. This time, I'm going to stick to a basic recipe. uk1, what's your standard poolish recipe?

edit: I think I might slice this loaf into very thin slices and bake them into crackers. It'll be sort of like those Wasa/crispbread crackers.
