A freshly baked farl on a rustic wooden table, featuring golden brown, flour-dusted crust with a soft, dense interior. The farl is quartered into four triangular pieces, with some cut open to reveal the fluffy texture inside. The bread rests on a wooden cutting board, accompanied by a small dish of butter, a butter knife, and scattered flour for a homemade touch. Soft natural lighting enhances the warm, inviting tones.
