1. Prior to baking, coat the top of the loaf with a little softened butter and sprinkle lightly with Murray River Flaked Salt or for a little added drama try Cyprus Onyx Flaked Salt.
2. Another delicious idea is to cut horizontal slices about an inch deep into the loaf and sprinkle in some Sel D’Oignon, toasted onion sea salt. or Sel D’Ail Roti, roasted garlic sea salt and then bake. Magnifique!
