Hi-
I have been baking seriously for about two years now. I have always been into cooking both as a job and now just as a hobby, but now that I started making bread, I have fallen in love with it. I bake a lot of breads with wild yeast starter and I also have a small brick oven in my yard which I use mostly for pizza. So far I haven't even scratched the surface of this forum, but I am really excited about learning from all of you. Now I'm off to make baguettes. I just got The Bread Baker's Apprentice, by Perter Reinhart and this is my first recipe experiement.

Welcome to the forum.

I live in SE wisconsin-Menomonee Falls (NW of Milwaukee). How close is the brick oven....errr.... do you live? :)
I'm in the Northwest, about an hour east of St. Paul. And the oven is a small and temporary situation till I build something larger. So it wouldn't be worth the drive.
Good to see a good sense of humor. This is a great site for all things bread and a few other things beside.
Happy Holidays!
Welcome, I too have found so much ehlp and learnt so much here .enjoy the journey
Hi Mike
Great River Milling is two hours southeast of the twin cities. We are located outside of Fountain City WI. We have several brick oven pizza makers in our area. A-Z in Stockholm WI and right next door to my mill is a place called Suncrest Gardens, Organic garden that does brick oven pizza out doors in the summer. If your in the area call and I give you a tour of our stone flour ,illing operation.
Thanks for the info and the offer!
Hello Mike (mudman). Welcome to the site from a fellow Wisconsin baker. Go Packers/Badgers eh. I'm down state in the SE part. I look forward to seeing your brick oven and breads.
