Hi Everyone,
It's been really a long time since I've created a new post for the blog, but I'm still baking lots of bread.
Just when I thought I've finally "arrived," I discover once again that there is so much more to explore.
My newest goal is to make bread that is light in weight, with a thin, blistered crust. I'm slowly getting there.
In the past, most of my loaves had a thick, tough crust that was hard on the teeth. Now, I"m using lots of steam to forestal crust development to arrive at the place where I want to go.
More on this later.

 Check out Marty's wonderful pizza that he bakes in an oven on the back of his truck.

Comparisons

For all the work it takes to make a Tartine loaf, sometimes I wonder if I can get the same result from Jim Lahey's no-knead recipe. I'll try Jim's recipe, but I'll let the dough rise in a coiled banneton and compare the results. Let you know, or let me know if you try this.

New Edition Of Bread Earth And Fire

I just finished the latest edition of Bread Earth And Fire. I feel that it is better organized than previous editions, and there's lots of new information, including a section on Tartine bread baking.
