Yay! The recipe is finally live! Such a delicious bread! It was a lot of fun researching the history of the brown bread alongside yours :)

Nice to wake up to this...I've long been a fan of the Brown Bread Hi-rise has been making for the past 20 years...I use figs and crystallized ginger in my version, but theirs used blueberries for sweetness. If I were to forego steaming as you did, could I use

the buttermilk alone or would you add the extra fat?

I like some fat in it, it improves the texture IMO

Ooh this looks wonderful and doable. I end up either about 125 g or so of discard when I refresh my starter. Could I halve the recipe and make one loaf (can)?
