Basic white with olive oil as fat and wash, thyme and rosemary seasoning, hint of garlic

Not perfect but I think there is value in posting failures. Might have been better with a butter wash
This is a failure? It might not be instagram ready, but it looks totally delish.
I just think the spices could have been spread more evenly and there is a small burn on the bottom from the olive oil runoff. I ate that part. Kids loved the bread so maybe I am off base. They thought I was making pizza from the smell. One thing is the olive oil made it very crunchy which was nice.
Think a thick butter glaze would have been a better way. Butter on the olive oil + spices wash.
Honey instead of sugar will probably be my next attempt. Thinking heavy cream wash.
Be careful with honey the conversion is not one to one from sugar. Worth a try regardless
I gave my standard recipe to chatgpt and recommended
1.25 tablespoons honey instead of 1.5 of sugar.
Reduce water for bulk fermination by about 1 tsp off my normal 3/4 cup
Cook at 350F instead of my normal 375F but stay with 40 minutes (carmalization avoiding).
Does this sound good? I truthfully don't know.
Honestly never baked with honey, but sounds right. Worst case it's a little sweet. I'm sure king Arthur baking has some info on it
