..... these are my experiences as I experiment with different yeasts, flours, and types of bread recipes, in order to create the "perfect" loaf.

First stage... books.... and equipment!!
Dan Lepard's "The Handmade Loaf" and The River Cottage Bread book have been purchased....... Thought I might get going tonight with my first dough... but it turns out I need all manner of "equipement" if I'm to give this a serious go. In terms of ingredients of course I need flour (obviously!) and yeast (fresh if possible), but it also seems I need items like a proving basket, "baking stone", a "peel", a special razor thingie to cut the bread before baking (this is crucial!), a refillable spray bottle for water (also crucial!).... oh, the list seems endless!!! So, like all good hobbies, this one's going to cost some money......
