Description
Experimental archaeologist Farrell Monaco is an expert on panis quadratus, and her research was recently featured in Popular Science. In Monaco’s award-winning blog, Tavola Mediterranea, she has written on this bread in depth and also explored fascinating ancient sourdough leavens; e.g. starter made from beans and dried blocks of starter that seem as predictable as instant yeast is today.
