Welcome to our blog. Thanks for stopping by! B. does the bread making and I (his wife) do the blogging, eating, and lots of oohing and ahhing. Much to my delight, B. has been experimenting with bread making since early 2008. He's perfected many breads, like his rosemary & garlic rustic loaf. But more often than not, he picks a new bread to tackle. As a scientist, he finds a lot of experimental appeal in finding the right blend of ingredients, temperature, and timing. And the raves of friends and fam are a much more gratifying form of peer review. Sorry. Nerdy science joke.
These past few months, we've worked our way through challah, rye pita and today's he's tackling poolish ciabatta. I'll post a lot to catch you up on the last few months and then I'll try to track his bread making in real(ish) time, after my bread comas subside.
B. doesn't use a bread machine but he has gotten a few upgrades over the years. He's gone from doing it all by hand with nothing but a big bowl, a broken one-handled rolling pin, and a tiny 10 x 10-inch cutting board; to upgrading to a Roll Pat and Kitchen Aid (which, again to the delight of my belly, has increased production dramatically).
If you have your own tweaks, tricks or recipes, we'd love for you to share.
