_The Italian Baker_ was a revelation to me when I found it in the late 80s. Wet doughs, pre-ferments, incredible variety. Has anyone done her chocolate bread? Her pastry and cake recipes were great too.
Yes, I have made her chocolate bread but used my own starter instead of commercial yeast. It is a spectacular bread.
I have also been recently making some of her recipes from Puglia.
I love rereading her work and making.
