Tartine Walnut Bread 31 Jan 2013 | 12:45 am
This is my favorite Tartine bread so far, and, even though it requires the extra step of toasting the walnuts (and I added the step of scrubbing off the bitter walnut skins), it seemed the easiest. F...
Tartine Semolina Bread 24 Dec 2012 | 01:54 am
I made this just a week after my first Tartine bread, and am only just now finding a few minutes to write about it. This bread was not as astounding as the first Tartine effort (although still quite ...
Tartine Bread: Bread at Last! 12 Nov 2012 | 07:16 am
This is a really wonderful bread, and actually not all that difficult, but it does require you to go through over 30 pages of instructions, including photographs. But, as with so many recipes, once yo...
Tartine Bread: Day 10 9 Nov 2012 | 06:27 am
I think it's Day 10, although I'm no longer completely sure. At any rate, the proto-leaven actually seems to be turning into a real leaven, and there is a discernible rise-and-fall routine to it now. ...
Tartine Bread: Days 5, 6 and 7 4 Nov 2012 | 07:11 am

Tartine Bread: Days 3 and 4 30 Oct 2012 | 07:17 pm
After another day, the mixture is less brown and more bubbly. Both of these traits are satisfying, since the brownness really did not look appetizing. The bubbliness assured me that things were workin...
Tartine Bread: Day 2 29 Oct 2012 | 08:31 pm
Nothing much has happened on day 2, except the color is browning and unappetizing. At this point, I guess you take it on faith.
Tartine: Day 1 29 Oct 2012 | 03:43 am
I have not been quite as lazy as the time between posts might lead you to suspect. I have made breads, but they've all been repeats of breads that I've already written about. Also, my younger daughter...
Russian Black Bread 9 Jul 2012 | 06:42 am
It's been about three months since I've posted on this blog, and several of you were nice enough to check in with me to ask if I was feeling all right. In my defense, I went on a 3-week trip to Russia...
Oatmeal Buttermilk Bread 8 Apr 2012 | 05:44 am
I saw a handsome loaf of oatmeal bread at Sun Street Breads, one of the best bakeries in Minnneapolis. I almost bought a loaf, and then I remembered that I was supposed to be a bread baker, and I hadn...
