Hello all!  This will serve as a personal introduction as well as my first question on the board.  My name is Tim and I'm from Pittsburgh, PA.  I'm VERY new to baking let alone bread baking.  I'm a pretty good cook, but I've always been horrible at baking.  I've always been a big fan of good, rustic and European-style breads and thought I would try to learn how to make some.  A few months ago, I purchased the BBA but still haven't made anything from it yet.  I've only made some English muffins (recipe from this forum) and a couple of sourdough loaves for family gatherings.
